Quite the discussion of NATO too...

Yes, it's noted by the pre-1850 downward trend identified by Mann, Bradley, and Hughes in their original (1998) 'Hockey Stick' (and replicated many times since)

We should have been getting colder, but we are not!

Given the events of the last few days I think it's worth the reminder that rail staff (Northern) also acted with true professionalism in response to the Manchester Arena attack too.

News of the #IceStorm in #Ontario, got me reaching for Murphy's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️forensic analysis of leadership following their 1998 disaster.
One of the themes he discusses will be familiar to people here, but it also made me think about direct parallels with the Valcencia floods.

I have to say, I really like this proposed definition for 'Natural Hazards'.
However, I tend to regard 'multi-hazards' as being situational (e.g., flood -> landslide at location), with the *approach* used to manage to them 'all-hazards' (i.e., nat and tech)

March 20th...a coincidence? Should the aviation sector start to consider elevating the 'Ides of March' (+/-5) in its Risk Register

I think it's worth putting this figure in the thread. I think it's brilliant...

Reading this provides yet another compelling reason that we really do need to get off any sort of high emissions trajectory

Talk about "money begets money", @microsoft.com how do you justify this level of one-step price increase?

I'm also wondering what @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social thinks about the Reasonable Worst Case Scenario for heatwave?

I know it's a quibble, but this threshold was really important (CCRA3 had estimated "very small" chance 40°C would be breached before 2040). Words matter

The dismissive nature of this Gov response has sent me back into @johnvaillant.bsky.social's sobering "Fire Weather" and the lesson some really need to learn from Paul Ayearst

Just awful to look across and know this smoke is from a major fire right in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale

Tell me again how we just need to adapt?

@stottpeter.bsky.social I have a question, if I may?

Have you ever replicated your 2003 European heatwave attribution paper's Figure 1, using the 2022 heatwave data?

Could it be useful in illustrating the risk in focusing on adapting to 2040/50 averages, when their outliers are already here?

I just found this clip on my desktop, and as it's Friday I thought I'd share it (even if I can't quite remember where it's from)

Well...that needs to be balanced out straight away...

I think the "dusting off" is the most telling element..."If Crisis or War Comes" was only written in 2022.
I think the UK version would need a little more than the dust blown off
