"Those most impacted by climate change must be able to define and prioritize their own research agenda". Read our new editorial www.nature.com/articles/s41... and take a look at the collection of articles on #weather and #climate extremes: www.nature.com/collections/...

Climate research in the Global South - Nature Communications

The consequences of weather and climate extremes are felt disproportionately by some of the most disadvantaged populations of the world. Gaps in data and research perpetuate these deeply rooted inequalities and must be overcome.

Was asked to do a short and sweet @nature.com News&Views piece for a very cool new attribution study. Go check it all out!

Leipzig Institute for Meteorology @meteoleipzig.bsky.social · 28d

Using years of experience in attribution science, a comprehensive study that links heat waves to individual emitters (ie fossil fuel producers) has just been published by @yannquilcaille.bsky.social et al. A systematic step forward as highlighted in my @nature.com News&Views article:

rdcu.be/eFpWu

Heatwaves linked to emissions of individual fossil-fuel and cement producers | Nature

The emissions of leading fossil-fuel and cement producers have been systematically linked to particular heatwaves. Three scientists discuss the methodology behind the result and its potential impact on climate-liability court cases.

Five years ago today, most historical UK monthly rainfall observations were not available to scientists.

But the 66,000 pieces of paper containing the data had been scanned.

With covid lockdown approaching we saw an opportunity to transcribe the data.

Today, we remember all the victims murdered during the Holocaust.

We mark the 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This memory must be passed to future generations.
