‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders World leaders must take “immediate, unprecedented action” to prevent devastating climate tipping points, experts say. The Global Tipping Points Conference is taking place in Exeter this week, and almo...

This is definitely not the time to delay or dial back climate policy. The urgency has never been greater.
We are approaching dangerous tipping points, almost 200 scientists warn. 🌊

Met Office report details rising likelihood of UK hot days New study highlights how UK heatwaves could become longer and hotter due to escalating climate trends.

The chances of summer temperatures above 40C in UK, and of longer heatwaves, are rising rapidly in our warming climate. The @metoffice.gov.uk UNSEEN technique 🧪 models many seasons in a modern and pre-industrial climate to compare frequency of extreme events www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Thrilled to share my first PhD paper, Towards Modelling Post-Growth Climate Futures, out today in Environmental Research Letters. Grateful to my brilliant co-authors and supervisors @femkenijsse.bsky.social, Paul Brockway & Karen Bickerstaff.

Missed out last night so another opportunity would be most appreciated.

Projected increase in windstorm severity and contribution from sting jets over the UK and Ireland Extratropical windstorms can lead to extreme impacts in the UK; however, future changes in windstorm frequency and intensity are uncertain due to natu…

Storm Eowyn is now developing a hook shape associated with sting jets and their devastating high winds. Increasing frequency of these storms is consistent with climate change. Climate models predict compounding risks from higher winds & large rainfall increases www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our global problems are connected, so tackle them together, scientists say Climate change, biodiversity, food systems, human health, access to fresh water—we silo them at our peril, says a report by 160 scientists from 52 nations.

A new report released Tuesday by the United Nations’ panel on biodiversity makes the case for a different approach based on addressing the “nexus” between two or more out of five essential issue areas: #ClimateChange, biodiversity, food, human health, and water.

YouTube video by Economic Growth and Collapse The physical limits to economic growth

We must face the limits to our economic growth. Civilization thrives on high availability of energy and material resources, but at the cost of pollution and depletion. Traditional economics trivializes these constraints and risks hastening our collapse

YouTube video by Arctic Circle Is the AMOC Shutting Down? - Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

The risk of an #AMOC shutdown - explained in 15 minutes at the Arctic Circle in Reykjavik on Saturday.
I had the honor of presenting a letter by 44 experts warning of that underestimated risk to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson.

Are we at risk of crossing crucial tipping points?

In the new documentary 'Climate Extremes', ECMWF scientist Samantha Burgess and others discuss the rising risk of triggering rapid, non-linear, self-reinforcing events in critical planetary systems.

2023 was the warmest year on record globally by a large margin. Another dark red stripe gets added, though I think I need a new colour.
