I like to keep up with Australian and international climate science discussions - it looks like Bluesky will be better for this and less, hmm, problematic. So, I'm going to start an account there and probably delete this twitter account soon after, thx
An article from me and Blair at the Bureau to accompany the State of the Climate report - on Australia reaching the 1.5 deg milestone
Australia has already warmed by more than 1.5 degrees 360info.org/australia-has-al…
Good job @AndrewKingClim - always a valuable comms job to do! here's my attempt from a similar cold snap a couple of years ago 😊theconversation.com/4-ways-t…
It has been particularly cold this week, with a record low temperature recorded in Tasmania. Such records are increasingly rare as average temperatures continue to rise. Read more from @AndrewKingClim (@unimelb). theconversation.com/southern…
Discussion paper in early release – a great group effort based on a workshop day last year on doing Extreme Event Attribution in practice in Australia and New Zealand.
iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
a topic I think is very interesting; drawing lessons on messaging from the origins in epidemiology (where some events are as clear and smoking and cancer, others are more like diet studies of eggs, red wine and red meat – and communication should match)
A great commentary and response from John Kennedy 🙏diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/…
I'll be giving a talk at this session, with two other fantastic talks - please tune in if you want wcrp-cmip.org/event/cmip-sem…
Really worrying reporting from WA (contains a brief comment from me)
From me - Western Australia’s unique eucalypt forests fade to brown as century-old giant jarrahs die in heat and drought. Climate change is drying the region. theguardian.com/environment/…

New paper in @PNASNews led with @cristiproist shows that a weird spatial pattern of temperature change has slowed global-mean warming since 1980. Because the pattern could evolve in the future, observed warming doesn’t help us constrain long-term warming.

Hobart people - please consider coming to this event to discuss the hot topic of climate tipping points, based around our report from the community: csiro.au/-/media/Environment…
We're back! Our first event leaps into 2024 on Feb 29th (geddit!?). Should we be worried about climate tipping points? Dr Micheal Grose (@ClimateGrose) will tell us about a recent report on Australia's risk 6:30pm 29th February @hobartbrewingco
A symbolic milestone (includes a note about our estimate further back where Aus may be >1.5 even last decade)
From me - Australia’s climate has warmed by 1.5C since 1910, Bureau of Meteorology temperature records show theguardian.com/environment/…
Our report launched last night - follow the link to the full report. Thx to the many people contributed and shared their knowledge
Dangerous climate tipping points will affect Australia. The risks are real and cannot be ignored theconversation.com/dangerou… via @ConversationEDU
Really impressive and important work led by @AndrewKingClim and Tilo here (that I was fortunate to play a small role in) - understanding changes under stabilisation is important to gauge our challenges even for a best case scenarios in the long term
New preprint online: egusphere.copernicus.org/pre… We use the ACCESS model to explore climate change and variability under net-zero emissions. It's a long read but keen to see what people think. @ClimateExtremes @SciMelb
If you're coming to AMOS2024, or will be in Canberra on 4 Feb, please consider coming to the public lecture session - I will be presenting the outcomes of our community workshop on global climate tipping points and Australia, followed by A+ panel events.humanitix.com/climate…

“Event attribution is/is not ready for a (major?) role in loss and damage (negotiations)”
It has been interesting to be a small part of a public conversation about this – and think about article titles – Friday thoughts
Our @AndrewKingClim commentary nature.com/articles/s41558-0…
I really think the messages in the two comments are actually not that different, but it is the titles that give a glass half full versus empty view of the same picture. Both note the usefulness of EEA in L&D,
