Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

A strong statement from the Director of CNRS Earth and Space about the dismantling of the National Center for Atmospheric Research: "a pillar of atmospheric and climate research is being torn down"

#NCAR is great for both research and outreach.
While digging through my archives, I found this video I made of a small homemade tornado.

This is very bad news. For our NCAR colleagues of course, for climate scientists everywhere, and really, for everyone. I had the good fortune to spend two years at the Mesa Lab as an ASP postdoc, and it was one of the best scientific environments I have known.

Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves may be at risk of disappearing under high-emission scenarios by 2300, according to an analysis of the effect of ocean warming in Nature. This could result in up to 10 m of global sea-level rise. go.nature.com/47Ag4k1 🌊 🧪
This is figure 1, which is a schematic of the processes that contribute to the Antarctic ice-shelf mass balance.

We have a new preprint out about the impacts a transition to equatorial superrotation would have on Earth's climate, e.g. in terms of surface temperature and water cycle. First PhD paper of Tim Marino, with @drmichaelbyrne.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2504.06909
Climate impacts of equatorial superrotation
While it is expected that the large-scale tropical circulation should undergo some changes in a warmer climate, it remains an open question whether its characteristic features, such as the Hadley cell...
