Our study just out in Nature: the extreme North Atlantic heat in summer 2023 was mainly due to weak winds causing shallow mixed layers, which heat up more quickly.
Global warming is causing a trend toward shallow mixed layers, making such extremes more likely.

The Forest After Tomorrow: Projecting the Impact of a Collapsing Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on European Tree‐Species Distributions

This study examines the effects of a collapsing Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in comparison to a common climate-change scenario. It shows that an AMOC collapse would result in co....

Honestly this piece I wrote in September is my attempt to explain more than just the new right and the dark tendencies of the Silicon Valley techno fascist oligarchy but the reflections of fascism they are building into their tech and society.

I wrote this on 1.5°C eight years ago

"Depending on climate sensitivity and natural variability, we could conceivably see the first year above 1.5°C as early as the late 2020s – but it is more likely to be later"

It's looking like I was a bit too optimistic 🧵

What will the world actually look like at 1.5°C of warming?

By the time we hit that temperature, further climate changes will already be locked in and unavoidable.

Warum wurde Trump gewählt??

Die britische Journalistin Carole Cadwaladr, die den Cambridge Analytica Skandal enthüllt hat, hat in diesem sehenswerten TED Talk schon vor 5 Jahren eindringlich davor gewarnt, wie die großen Internet-Konzerne die Demokratie zerstören.

Here's my column this week, about the astonishing moment in which we find ourselves: facing the greatest predicament humankind has ever confronted, and doing sweet FA about it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Picture an all-seeing eye scanning the dying Earth – and then lighting on our ‘solutions’ at Cop29 | George Monbiot

What would it witness in Azerbaijan? A species that knows it is destroying itself but is too greedy to change course, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Did the land sink collapse in 2023? No

The land sink was low in 2023, as expected with an El Niño.

The land sink will partially recover in 2024 as the El Niño subsides, but with high uncertainty.

Should we worry about the climate impact on the land sink? Yes
