This is not the actual cover of Nature, just shown here for illustrative purposes. We did submit this figure for consideration for their cover. Print run in two weeks, we'll know by then if it gets used.
Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.๐๐๐งต www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You're likely overestimating the transition time due to suboptimal sigmoid (or tanh) fitting, demonstrated by the large relative misfit before 2019.
Weather forecast error growth follows a similar curve; fitting methods from sections 3.1โ3.2 could help: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Could this be the biggest climate story of the year?
For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand

Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970.
A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes.
It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:
"dnevno samo kakih 20%"
Ta podatek me je presentil. Zanima me le, kako se to meri, kako se izvaja anketiranje.

Padec emisij v 2023 predvsem na racun zmanjsanja CO2 na enoto proizvedene energije.
Priporocam!

Just your regular reminder of where global CO2 emissions are tracking compared to scenarios that keep warming to below 1.5C in 2100, with "no or low overshoot" (maximum temperature around 1.6C).

Kanadski gozdovi so v zadnjih letih nenadoma postali izjemen vir emisij CO2, skoraj izkljucno zaradi obseznih pozarov. Te so v letu 2023 predstavljale skoraj 3% svetovnih emisij.

Zaenkrat niti ni jasno, ali obramba proti toci deluje (dokazov ni nikakrsnih), se manj, kako obsezna bi morala biti.
Jasno pa je, da temperaturna razlika med jutrom in popoldnevom ne doloca vertikalnih gibanj in ni glavni faktor za nastanek toce.

Bistroumen argument predstavnika AMZS: "Znizanje omejitve hitrosti ne bi bistveno vplivalo na doseganje okoljskih ciljev... nenazadnje imajo tovornjaki ze sedaj imajo nizjo omejitev hitrosti, pa so izpusti visji kot pri avtomobilih."

a chart showing the proportion of electric energy in norway
Here's something funny:
- By distance travelled, pure-electric cars make up ~22% of total in 2023 in Norway
- By *amount of energy consumed*, it's like, maybe 5% ish
This is bc electricity is ridiculously more efficient than fossil or bio :)

Line graph time series of 2025's daily global sea ice extent in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 using shades of purple to white for each line. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. Seasonal cycles are visible. Note: the poles are affected by very different Earth system processes/seasonality. I am using 5-day running mean data.
While all of this is happening to our scientific agencies, the current extent of sea ice globally remains at record low levels...
