Two exciting postdoc positions available!

Historical windstorms - working with two insurance companies to explore UK wind risks: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

Extreme event storylines - working as part of a EU collaboration on event attribution: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

So, I hate to be this guy, but as the director of Yale’s new program on attribution science (!?), uh, most of the commentary on Bluesky about Hurricane Melissa and climate change has been… not quite right

This is a good corrective to the BS narrative flowing through the Pielke/AEI/NYP/EID/DOE nexus. Their argument is designed so that we can never ever attribute extreme events to emissions - even singular events that would have *never* [for some suitable finite approximation] have happened before.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Eine sehr verdiente Auszeichnung für eine herausragende Wissenschaftlerin und ausgezeichnete Mentorin!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!! Das sind aber schöne Neuigkeiten

I had an engagement with blogger, failed California gubernatorial candidate, and self-identified reporter Michael Shellenberger this past week, which started out being about this new paper being heralded by climate skeptics as disproving global sea-level acceleration. (LONG 🧵)

Our new study on how large floods will change in Europe under climate change, led by @bfang.bsky.social, with @bevacquae.bsky.social

I am looking for a Postdoc to join my team at @climate.columbia.edu and NASA GISS.

We will be working with Corteva Agrisceince and advance our understanding of historical and future crop breeding using crop models. Exciting and ambitious, please share!

1,5 Grad-Schwelle möglicherweise dauerhaft überschritten Im Jahr 2024 lag die Erderwärmung erstmals 1,5 Grad Celsius über dem vorindustriellen Niveau: Laut einer neuen Studie ist das keine Ausnahme, sondern ein langfristiger Trend.

People may not understand just how important federal science research funding is to the prosperity of the nation. I tried to explain it, because it's under unprecedented and direct assault.

Studie zu den Pariser Klimazielen: Hat die 1,5-Grad-Ära begonnen, Herr Bevacqua? Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ist gefährdet, wie aktuelle Berechnungen zeigen. Trotzdem rät Klimaforscher Emanuele Bevacqua, daran festzuhalten: Noch sei es möglich, die Erderwärmung zu verlangsamen.

Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ist gefährdet, wie aktuelle Berechnungen zeigen. Trotzdem rät Klimaforscher Emanuele Bevacqua, daran festzuhalten: Noch sei es möglich, die Erderwärmung zu verlangsamen.

"Die Klimakrise muss oberste Priorität auf der politischen Agenda haben, sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf internationaler Ebene. Für die anstehende Bundestagswahl ist da allerdings noch deutlich Luft nach oben", sagt der Klimawissenschaftler Emanuele Bevacqua.

Wäre doch mal schön, wenn wir dazu eine Talkshow hätten, oder @zdfde.bsky.social ?
