We’re advertising a PhD studentship for folks with good knowledge of Caribbean culture and society, with background in geography, human geography, humanities or interdisciplinary geosciences as part of our @leverhulme.ac.uk funded ‘volcanic histories’ project

Summary of what the PhD student will do. QR code in bottom LHS. Project part of our Leverhulme Trust funded project volcanic histories and the student will examine the cultural markers and response to to volcanic activity across the Eastern Caribbean. Understand local ways of knowing and remembering volcanic activity. Integrate scientific. And community knowledge for DRR - joining an interdisciplinary team from several universities.

Nearly half of Florida farmworkers’ bodies reached dangerous temperatures in one study — but short breaks pulled them back from the danger zone.

There's a really nice explanation (with clear graphics) in this @quantamagazine.bsky.social article of why most molecules in the atmosphere (oxygen & nitrogen) don't act as greenhouse gases, but a lot of the far less numerous ones (like carbon dioxide and methane) do. A great teaching aid :)

The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.

this is sooooooo f'ing sweet. every time Sec. Chris Wright lies about the DOE Climate Working Group report, reporters cite our response.

Mr. Wright falsely claimed that critics of an Energy Department report — written by five researchers who reject the established scientific consensus that the burning of oil, gas and coal is dangerously heating the planet — did not dispute any of the report’s data or facts.

“They just didn’t like that the conclusion of our report was, climate change is a real physical phenomenon that’s unfolding, it’s just not the crisis it’s often sold to be.”

In fact, 85 scientists submitted a sweeping critique of the report detailing a litany of inaccuracies, including claims that sea level rise is not accelerating; that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will help plants grow; and that computer models exaggerate future temperature increases. The American Meteorological Society, a leading science organization, also outlined what it called “foundational flaws” in the report. And the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the nation’s leading scientific advisory body, also contradicted the Energy Department report, saying the evidence that greenhouse gases threaten human health has only grown over time.

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

Opinion | A Responsible Way to Cool the Planet

A small, carefully scaled geoengineering program could compensate for the loss of cooling as we eliminate sulfur pollution.

I'm not sure many folks realize just how persistent the warming from CO2 is.

Here is a set of 1000-year climate model runs (using FaIR) simulating one year of CO2 emissions (40 gigatons in 2020); a millennia later the world has not cooled back down!

I’m increasingly confident that these quotes are fully and intentionally fabricated, having searched extensively in both reports.

The quotes are framed to suggest that the IPCC *concluded* that natural variability undermines attribution of anthropogenic climate change.

FYI: It does not.

Graeme MacGilchrist @gmacgilchrist.bsky.social · Aug 17

Made up quotes in the DOE CWG report?

In Ch8, authors claim to quote IPCC AR5 and AR6 summary statements suggesting difficulty attributing climate change due to decadal variability.

I suspected out-of-context, but I can't find the quotes (or anything like them) *at all*.

Anyone know any better?

TL;DR, it only takes six simple equations to do (reasonably) accurate longwave radiative transfer in a GCM!

Demonstrated for an Earth-like planet, but the approach could easily be extended to exoplanets!
