The Telegraph has just published *yet another* correction to one of its net-zero articles.

By my count, that is now the TENTH such correction since Labour won the election (and covers 13 separate articles).

I have now added the latest one to my epic thread which is tracking these corrections...

🚨 Episode 3 - not to be missed!

🌊 The way we are exploring our oceans is evolving fast. But how do we ensure innovation is efficient and equitable across global collaborations?

Busy hurricane season expected as forecasters fear Trump cuts. The warning comes as cuts to American research raise fears over the ability to track and prepare for them.

"The office in Houston for example... is effectively without its top three management positions.

Other offices are struggling to maintain 24/7 operations. Experts with contacts at NOAA told the BBC of battles to get basic maintenance over the line, from computer systems to toilets."

Prof Adam Sobey, at the UK’s Alan Turing Institute, an AI research body, said more transparency was needed on how much energy is consumed by artificial intelligence systems, and how much they could save by helping to make carbon-emitting industries such as transport and energy more efficient.

The AI revolution changing how we predict the weather Rapidly advancing technology is helping meteorologists to make more accurate and detailed forecasts even further into the future

⛅ A well-written and balanced piece by the FT on how AI is revolutionalising weather forecasting; the need for human experts & democratision of data and models; the disruption to forecasting caused by the US gov; and the new wave in "end-to-end" AI weather forecasting

Thanks @jamespjh.bsky.social for hosting! huge opportunities to work across the 80 institutes(!) in attendance to develop + deploy AI-powered climate solutions at scale

Fantastic alignment with Turing's Missions in Environment Forecasting and Sustainability/Decarbonisation www.turing.ac.uk/research

Did the welcome for @uclgrandchallenges.bsky.social at the #aiforclimate summit with #khemkafoundation and #turingInstitute hosted at UCL IoE. UCL core themes: “disagree well” and “useful knowledge” pertinent. And @ucl-arc.bsky.social’s craftsperson-and-scholar theme - making it practical.

Surprise storms and chaos theory: How AI is about to cause a ‘weather revolution’ A model pioneered by the person who came up with the concept of the butterfly effect is still being used in forecasting systems, writes Anthony Cuthbertson. A new method uses similar tech to ChatGPT –...

We saw minimal improvements when we pre-trained a U-Net model on CMIP data. This was back in 2021 though so new meta-learning approaches might do a better job now

We are witnessing a (second) revolution of weather forecasting

Transfer learning across geographies does enable predictions that are outside the previous local min/max values.

However, not sure how ML would handle predictions that are outside the global distribution of values

AI models have shown strong performance at forecasting tropical cyclone tracks - check out DeepMind's GenCast paper

This is a good point and something we are certainly planning for as part of future development.

It's the first AI weather model trained directly from raw and fragmented observations (rather than ERA5)

I would argue that it is certainly a step beyond what others have been doing until now

Incredibly excited to see that Aardvark-Weather is finally out in Nature!! An amazing project with a truly fantastic team. The lead authors Anna Allen and Stratis Markou have worked really really hard to make this project happen.
