I've just published an update to the PRIMAP-hist historical greenhouse gas emissions dataset. As always it's available from Zenodo.
There's an important difference to the previous datasets: the data is no longer published under a CC-BY license, but under CC-BY-NC-SA. (1/3)

Please join USAA-IPCC and @agu.org next week for a webinar on how to engage with @ipcc.bsky.social reports as an Expert Reviewer! The Special Report on Cities and Climate Change opens for first review on Oct 17 - we'll discuss in our webinar how to register and what makes for good review comments.

Great to finally see it out! I have to admit that I'm loving and excited to work with polar scientists! Congrats to the authors! Now, can I call myself a polar illustrator...? 🤔

The Greenlandification of Antarctica | Nature Geoscience

Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

Interesting-looking new article into how social practices in the football industry are flight-intensive.

There's been much research on how that's the case within academia, but I feel like we've been overlooking other sectors... doi.org/10.1080/2331...

A vast majority of people globally is in favor of climate action:

"Our findings reveal widespread support for climate action. [...] 69% [...] expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income [...] and 89% demand intensified political action."

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change

Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.

That sounds very interesting, but might be of limited help with a case of "[reviewer 2] did not seem to like the results and no matter how well we responded, there were always new ‘problems’."

Thinking what it would have been like in one of the journals with immediate public peer review.

Robert Gieseke (Openclimatedata) @openclimatedata.net · 6d

The new transparency for peer review in Nature journals is good I think, but odd that it's only for the final paper - reviews like yours become only known if you decide to write about them.

"In a way, this manuscript is a reinstantiation of Wynne and Keepin's analysis of the 1984 IIASA Energy Study
[...] though much less confrontational" in the review made it quite clear that this was not someone who wants to delay your manuscript. 😄

The title and editors' names are white on a pink backgroung; the coover also features black circles connected by arrows, with words like "non-food crops", "agricultural services", "land and water", "cereal and roots", "primary energy", or "capital goods" written in the circles: a system.

New paper with @glenpeters.bsky.social in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.

Influence of individual models and studies on quantitative mitigation findings in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Nature Communications

The paper analyses the impact of the uneven representation of models and studies on key mitigation findings in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. It finds that the model with the most scenarios has a considerable influence on several findings.

Question for Energy/Climate folks: I'm looking to understand the pipeline from energy cost projections (e.g. IEA WEO estimates) to IAM models to IPCC reports. Am I right to think that the IAMs get estimates from WEO and then IAM outputs shape the reports? Any explanatory cites would be appreciated!

The "Reviewer #2" mentioned in the LinkedIn Post is reviewer #2 from the initial, rejected submission, right?
So not the same as "Reviewer #2" in the peer review report for the publication in Nature Communications?

We finally have a new paper out looking at how summary statistics from the AR6 scenario database are highly dependent on the sampling of the database.

High profile statistics are often more representative of the model fingerprint, not the physics.
