I'm trying to imagine their perspective - the entire field of climate science is corrupted, deluded or groupthink. None of it can be trusted. Only these five brave heroes can do what needs to be done. So no review or comments, lots of self citation etc. is all justified.
Pretty bold position really

It was interesting to think through some interesting questions on this - what will humanity look like in 10,000 years? I make a couple of points about climate change for this interesting article in Cosmos cosmosmagazine.com/earth/climat...
The stranger in the mirror: how will a hotter earth change humanity?
Climate change is the greatest challenge in human history – current trends could have us eventually approaching extremes not seen on our planet for 15 million years. Will a destabilised global climate...

In a great dicussion with @bobkopp.net @lisgilmore.bsky.social & other authors of the new paper critiquing ever expanding #tippingpoints frames in #climate science and policy, I showed this bizarro #WEF view of a science-managed Earth. The full chat: revkin.substack.com/p/a-watchwor... #greensky 🧪

The new WMO State of the Climate report has a section by Gavin Schmidt and me on attributing exceptional 2023 and 2024 warmth.
We find that while 2024 can be well explained by changes in forcings and internal variability, 2023 remains more of a mystery:

Dr Michael Grose gives his talk on climate update. Six supported datasets agree in global mean temperature trends
@bobkopp.net you may be interested that we both point to your commentary paper, I'd be interested in your feedback if you have any ☺️
Thanks for the interest Nada, the recording is now available at the original link above 😊Hope you're doing well
thanks to all who came along, great points made by Ben Newell on our perceptions and decision-making, and some good Q&A (although I know we only scratched the surface) - over 1300 attendees(!) reflecting the always strong interest in the topic and how we respond to it

I'm excited to be advertising a PhD project on climate change projections under net zero emissions and overshoot scenarios! Applications close 23rd May.
Please come to this webinar next week, an important (and always hot) topic and a lot of things to talk about.
I will try to be fair and balanced, but having different perspectives is really important

Rainfall maps offer ominous insight where Australia's climate is headed
As South Australia and Victoria continue to face drought and unseasonable heat, there has been a notable absence of major rain systems. So, what's going on?
www.abc.net.au
I had a really good conversation with the journalist on this - covering humid heat vs dry heat, the limits to adaptation and all sorts of things, he is great and this is such an important issue
Big picture - we will stabilise the climate sooner of later, so we need to understand it - and have good definitions of 'stabilise' both globally and regionally (and appropriate alternative terms).
Happy to be a very small contributor to this nice paper from UniMelb student Alex and supervisors @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social and @drjobrown.bsky.social well done Alex!

...all the details and the ‘facts’ supporting this desire can all change fluidly, inconsistencies and contradictions are all totally fine. Because it is about power and not reality – in fact it is about power over reality. It is so against our training as researchers, but very real I think
…a world where things are simple with a bad guy vs. a good guy with a simple plan, nothing is chaotic and there are no structural problems with complex causes like climate change, injustice – someone just needs to come in and make people shut up about these. If people shut up then it will be fine...
…but if you don’t mind spoilers, the last half goes much broader than flat earth, into Qanon etc. and in the last 10 min concluding some people deeply want ‘restorative authoritarianism’ - the wish for a strong man coming to come in, put things back ‘where they belong’…
Thinking about the state of - things - I found this useful to watch back. If you don’t want spoilers, I recommend watching the whole thing – the first half includes a really nice demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfh...
Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week.

We have organised an online workshop for applications that will need to select subsets of models in CMIP7, and how it can be improved over CMIP6 - both scientific and technical aspects.

This was in my World Book encyclopedia (1980 edition) growing up - an interesting time capsule of where we thought things were going
(sorry, Friday afternoon and I'm getting silly - great work on the interview, very clear and helpful!)
It's amazing the strike all occurred in that red circle! Must be related to crop circles 😁
(replying to all of the above) - yes, when I said 'realistic' I meant based on real glaciology, not that it would be effective or plausible!
The costs/benefit does seem crazy, but I wonder if given the costs of SLR on New York, London or Amsterdam, it starts to make even the crazy maths make sense?

Back in 2021 I was very privileged to play a small part in the 'megafires' section in the 10 new insights in climate science - it was a good choice by the editors at the time, and has only proven more relevant since 10insightsclimate.science/year-2021/3-...
