#AirPollution is influenced by the global #climate and by societal choices on climate policy and clean #energy technologies. In our June e-newsletter, we spotlight CS3 research at the nexus of climate change and #AirQuality. tinyurl.com/b77wvwx5 #sustainability🧪

Big up to @rdzombak.bsky.social for bringing eyes to this story. 🧪

So many people beyond my little cohort of fellows are impacted by slowdowns at NOAA. America is rapidly losing footing as a leader in climate science and we all are paying the cost.

This is likely not 100-level, but a former postdoc in my group put together a tutorial on linear vs ML climate emulation, including risk of overfitting, which might be useful. nbviewer.org/github/blutj... (based, in part, on work that led to this preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2408.05288)

While @mitofficial.bsky.social (to my great disappointment) is not on Bluesky, the video about its resesarch and importance to the nation (which was posted on X/Instagram late yesterday), and dedication to continuing it, is worth sharing here. youtu.be/r7R8ewU1Wqc?...

What can we do to enhance human well-being in current & future generations? This year’s Global Change Forum, hosted by MIT CS3, explored emerging research in the field of sustainability #science and how decision-makers might translate that knowledge into action that advances #sustainability goals.

While the annual average for #GlobalWarming may bob above and below #1.5°C in the coming years, it will eventually stay above the threshold, likely by the mid-2030s, says MIT CS3 Deputy Director C. Adam Schlosser. How concerned should we be, and what kind of response is warranted? bit.ly/3DTBTzv
