Rewiring climate modeling with machine learning emulators Communications Earth & Environment - This Perspective argues that machine learning emulators could transform climate modeling by co-designing with simulators, aligning goals, data, and...

New perspective paper on using accurate emulators (ML-based or toy-model-based) like dx.doi.org/10.1175/JCLI... and dx.doi.org/10.5194/egus... together with Earth System Models to get more out of both!

You could volunteer!

Enormously interesting to work on this article. John Nicklas defends his PhD, including his contributions to this work and dx.doi.org/10.1175/JCLI... on Friday!

The Usual Suspects When It Comes Climate Action Obstruction in Rhode Island - ecoRI News The first sentence of the report grabbed my attention. “After stunning successes in 2021 and 2022, climate action has slowed in Rhode Island.”

Some nice coverage of our new report on who's blocking action on climate in the Rhode Island legislature.

This is a "blue state" with huge Democratic majorities.

Yet 21 of 22 priority bills of statewide climate and environment organizations in 2025 died in committee.

Excited to share our new paper (w/ @aakashsane.bsky.social @baylorfk.bsky.social) where we used the CESM-LME and information theory to understand Pacific decadal variability! 🌊

Thanks for the details.

Not my intent.

I'm sorry if I offended by using a list that included you, but it included you with no publications that sort.

I actually don't know. I find your published papers to be interesting and take down sacred cows. I always recommended my students take your classes.

Not sure; in this specific instance you can ask James L. Powell...

Peer-reviewed papers by climate skeptics Examines the science and arguments of global warming skepticism. Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are war...

This is an underappreciated aspect of peer review. It is a structured way to hash out the details in slow, thoughtful time.

Corollary: The number of climate skeptic peer-reviewed papers is small (skepticalscience.com/peerreviewed...), while climate change science PRPs are growing exponentially.

The more I think about it, the more I incline to the opinion that the most important thing of all is not to lose hope and faith in life itself. Anyone who does so is lost, regardless of what good fortune may befall him. And so, from the bottom of my heart, my New Year's wish is that you not lose your hope, faith and ability to delight in the world-even if the world is the way it is. If you can manage that, everything else will come; if you give in, nothing can help you. Václav Havel Letter to his wife, Olga 21st December 1980

For me, a highlight of the year was getting to know you a little and work on a paper together. Happy New Year!

And as for the matter of the alleged uncleanliness of our business, ye shall soon be initiated into certain facts hitherto pretty generally
unknown, and which, upon the whole, will triumphantly plant the sperm whale-ship at least among the cleanliest things of this tidy earth. -- Melville

Butchers we are, that is
true. But butchers, also, and butchers of the bloodiest badge have been all Martial Commanders whom the world invariably delights to honor.

Doubtless one leading reason why the world declines honoring us
whalemen, is this: they think that, at best, our vocation amounts to a
butchering sort of business; and that when actively engaged therein, we
are surrounded by all manner of defilements.

Thanks for making my holiday season festive. Greensleeves has nothing on this!

NCAR folks, especially folks who are currently here at AGU -- I know it's a really tough day amid a week that was supposed to be about celebrating science. Would be interested in how you're feeling and how this has affected your week and your presentations. I'm on Signal @chelseaeharvey.01

Roger, we didn't always agree, but on this point we do.
