Great first two days at the #PAGES_PO2_workshop in Bristol with interesting talks about FB-N-isotopes by Alfredo Martínez-García, thallium isotopes by Yi Wang and ocean oxygenation models by Juan Muglia and Katrin Meissner (so captivating that even pigeons attended the session!)

Morgen beginnt die #COP28 in #Dubai. Kann die #Weltklimakonferenz den entscheidenden Durchbruch schaffen? Meine Kollegin @saskiabucker und ich haben Klimaforscher*innen befragt - und ihre Antworten waren wenig optimistisch. #COP28Dubai #climate rnd.de/wissen/klimakonferenz…

Wann wird die Klimakonferenz zum Erfolg? „Wir brauchen ein Abkommen ohne Spielraum für Tricks“

Am Donnerstag startet die UN‑Klimakonferenz, die COP28, in Dubai. Der Sommer der Extreme und die vielen neuen Rekorde weltweit haben gezeigt, dass der Klimaschutz unerlässlich ist. Doch Fachleute...

Polar regions warm faster than the rest of the world. This is happening now, and also happened millions of years ago when alligators and turtles used to live in the Arctic. But most climate models are not able to produce the observed warming. Why?

Luminous ‘mother-of-pearl’ clouds explain why climate models miss so much Arctic and Antarctic...

Back when there were Arctic alligators and turtles, ‘polar stratospheric clouds’ kept their world warm. Research suggests these clouds contribute to the ‘missing warming’ in climate models.

Including these clouds in climate models would therefore reduce the gap between models and climate reconstructions in the past. It might also improve our future projections. 5/6

The good news is that these clouds were more likely to form in the past than they will be in the future. This is due to stratospheric circulation patterns that depend on the location of continents and mountains. 6/6

If we are going to put a business rep on ARC science panels, OK, how about ensuring company boards and key parliamentary committees each have a scientist on them? canberratimes.com.au/story/7… via @canberratimes

How this government is destroying the bright ARC of our future

This government's stone-cold ignorance was itself written in stone this week.

The green Sahara: why and when did the Sahara transition between a wet state, supporting river systems and vegetation, and a desert as we know it today? This new paper shows it was a combination of slow changes in solar insolation and abrupt changes in ocean circulation.

A strengthening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation was the main driver of the abrupt initiation of African Humid Periods during the last two deglaciations. @UNSWScience nature.com/articles/s43247-0…

Be age appropriate, use simple language, be honest, & finish on a positive. This was some of the advice given by @UNSW climate change experts when asked how we should talk to children about #climate change. #COP26 @KatrinJM @sarahinscience @ccrc_unsw newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/sc…
