Great visualization about how warming in the Arctic (like we're having right now) is leading to colder winters with more snowfall π

It's awfully ironic that this was Lord Whitehead's answer, as at the @nebriefing.bsky.social Prof. @kevinclimate.bsky.social told the attendees in no uncertain terms that the 1.5C goal was now out of reach and 2C will soon be too!
That many dont know this yet shows the need of a government briefing
Why would the Government π»πΌπ brief the public on the biggest threat to face our nation?
Thank you to Baroness Natalie Bennett for asking this important question in the House of Lords, echoing the call from experts and over 37,000 signatories

"I was talking about extreme weather events. How they're rapidly increasing all over the world. How they're increasing much faster than #climate models predict. So faster than we expected, & they're causing severe impacts"
- Prof. @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social speaking at the @nebriefing.bsky.social
Watching this and hearing @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social say "This is the least extreme climate that you will experience in your lifetime" should have everyone rushing to sign this open letter to the PM www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-... Kill the disinfo - the UK needs to be properly prepared!

Iβve just announced Iβll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , itβs vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .

π’ Britain faces a climate & nature emergency.
On 27 Nov, eight leading experts will brief 800+ leaders from politics, business, culture, faith & media.
An unfiltered overview of the latest threats & solutions.
Only by facing it can we rise to the challenge.

This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.

Green et al. outline 2024 rain extremes, finding:
- Many record-breaking events
- Several events were made more intense by warming
- Compound events were common

The video in this montage is extraordinary- and not in a good way. βHistoricβ life-changing flooding in so many spots. We have irreversibly changed our planet in ways that will compound and debilitate.
