It's #showyourstripes day! Here I am with my custom-made T-shirt showing climate stripes across three generations of my family -- you can now make your own version here (best on non-mobile browser): svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/webapps/cl…

And of course thanks to the full @IPCC_CH team behind the original IPCC Synthesis Report Figure 1c that kicked this off. See my thread on that figure here: xitter.cf/AlexRuane/status/16378…
Very proud to have led team developing #IPCC SYR Figure SPM.1, released today, which shows how current and future generations have different experiences with climate change. 1/4

This #showyourstripes day 2024, I am happy to announce our new @NASAEarth Climate Legacies tool that allows you to put yourself and your family & friends on the climate stripes diagram we presented in the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report. Make your own at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/webapps/cl…; a🧵

ps - there are lots of other features that we're excited for you to discover. For example, future year-by-year variability is uncertain and chaotic, so the tool regenerates future variability every ~10 seconds drawing from the same distribution. You can also select °F or °C

This is why AgMIPs machine learning activity (AgML) is so vital! @AgMIPnews
Interesting to see that Agriculture and Food Sciences had the lowest growth in AI-engaged scientific articles compared to the other fields analysed - arxiv.org/abs/2405.15828

I had a great time in DC engaging with Congressional staffers at the @NASAEarth From Satellites to Seeds event highlighting NASA science for food systems - only sorry I had to run out to catch my train before the reception! @KarenStG @Bradley_DOORN @AcresProgram @chrishainwx

We would love to get more feedback on our proposal for emissions scenarios for CMIP earth system models. Also important to represent how these scenarios and climate outputs will fit into broader pipeline of impacts and risk assessment as well as adaptation and mitigation planning

A great thread on the gap between US climate change policy intent and science communication when there are vested interests, complicated legal frameworks, and partisan lenses:
Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. xitter.cf/HillaryClinton/status/…
