In a new article over at Carbon Brief, I explore why the past three years – 2023, 2024, and 2025 – have been exceptionally warm. The main culprits turn out to be a combination of El Nino and internal variability, declining aerosols, and a strong solar cycle: www.carbonbrief.org/...

I have a new update to climate model-observation comparisons over at The Climate Brink, covering CMIP3, CMIP5, and CMIP6. Models perform well globally. The latest generation shows too much long-term warming but better reproduces recent trends: www.theclimatebrink....

Love the podcast. Have you thought about having Kate Raworth or Nate Hagens on? Both have interesting things to say about economics and the environment.

Conditions for instability in the climate–carbon cycle system Abstract. The climate and carbon cycle interact in multiple ways. An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere warms the climate through the greenhouse effect, but also leads to uptake of CO2 by th...

Fascinating new paper from Joe Clarke et al., which addresses the question: could the climate-carbon system suffer a self-sustaining runaway feedback? @gsiexeter.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social

Sabine has really gone downhill, she doesn't seem to stick to the science now and just berates "activists". The only bit I agree on is that we are slow to act on climate and may not be motivated enough to do so until it's too late. The rest seems clickbait.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Just published, a land-mark paper by Annemarie Eckes-Shephard et al.! It assesses the performance of a new generation of Demography-enabled Dynamic Global Vegetation (D-DGVMs), that attempt to simulate the changing size and age structure of trees in forests.

Congratulations to all involved and particular thanks to @annemarie-es.bsky.social and @tompugh.bsky.social for all your hard work.

Demography, dynamics and data: building confidence for simulating changes in the world's forests Vegetation demographic models (VDMs) are advanced tools for simulating forest responses to climate and land-use changes, and are essential for projecting carbon cycling and large-scale forest manage.....

Our paper is now published! A inter-model evaluation at a variety of forest biomes of nine "state of the art" demographic vegetation models. Well done @annemarie-es.bsky.social and @tompugh.bsky.social for leading this endeavour!

While I love to have hope, the fact Reform is on 32% and Tories are second on 16% is really worrying to me. I struggle to see how the Greens can win outright, particularly in red wall etc. Reform's ILR policy would be a huge disaster for me personally.

Yeah, POTS sounds even more prevalent in COVID caused ME from what I heard

Yeah, I don't think long covid and ME are that different barring perhaps lung damage etc. I think the PEM, fatigue pattern etc to me sound identical to what many like me had after flu or other post-viral ME cases.

This is beyond depressing my wife is Japanese and can't get dual citzenship so has ILR here. I have elderly mother here and my wife has elderly parents in Japan if she lost ILR it would be a disaster for us.

Didn't know you had ME too. I know that exact situation you describe all too well.

Excellent song, one of my all time favourite REM songs

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

TBH not sure there is room for two parties now Polanski has moved the Greens into left territory.

Because Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship & still has elderly parents in Japan she has chosen to stay a Japanese citizen. On top of that I'm severely disabled by long-term illness & she is my only carer and I have very little other family. Ending ILR would leave us in a very difficult situation

Farage's announcement on Indefinite Leave to Remain is a travesty. This will affect me personally. My wife of the past 15 years has lived and worked in the UK and paid her taxes all that time.

Yes he isnt a bad or immoral person like Boris was and he isnt loopy like Truss. But he isnt communicating a strong narrative and to keep Reform out needs to make sure ordinary people see economic benefits. Policy own goals like disability + winter fuel, freebies etc really didnt help.

Agreed, I've only so far heard Ed Davey calling out Musk. Sir Kier seems to lack compentent political instincts and be totally unsuited to todays political climate. He seems to have managed to disappoint almost everyone by not standing for anyone in particular.

Fionna this has to be the most depressing time politically in recent UK history. We seem to had have a run of poor PMs, without vision, charisma or morals. Does Starmer not realise what is at stake?

A brief thread of what we found 🧵

My thoughts exactly, makes Starmer look weak, desperate with no ideas of his own. Milliband for all his faults when was leader at least seems to have principles and ideas. Starmer just copies Farage and Trump, and betrays his voter base.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy The world's national debt is great news for the wealthy - whatever they like to claim

Very good as ever from @richardjmurphy.bsky.social If every country in the world is in debt, who are they in debt to? Answer wealthy private individuals and pension funds.
