Carbon offsetting explained.

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

1/8 Veelgehoorde reactie op resultaten coalitieakkoord:
"Zijn de plannen van GL-PvdA dan beter voor koopkracht van mensen? Voor extra banen? Minder armoede? Meer geld voor onderwijs, veiligheid en internationale samenwerking?"
Laten we kijken naar wat het @CPBnl zelf zegt:

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…

The key question was how high they thought global temperature will rise by 2100. Almost 80% of the respondents said at least 2.5C. Almost half said at least 3C. That is a catastrophic level of heating. Just 6% thought 1.5C would be achieved.

The president of @AEMET_Esp, María José Rallo, visited the Izaña Observatory (@AEMET_Izana) together its Director, and met the PI of the Greenhouse Gas measurement programme and the new ICOS atmospheric station.

In case you have had your head in the sand for the last 30 years, CO2 & CH4 concentrations are at record levels & still growing at record pace...
Oh, but don't worry, 90% of the world has a net zero pledge, or something, blah, blah, blah, ...

Great Nature paper by Auke van der Woude et al. with an analysis of the 2022 drought on Europe using loads of @ICOS_RI data: "with the build-up of ICOS, it is present to analyse and quantify a major event in the European carbon cycle in near-real time." doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-4…

This week, a new eddy-covariance supersite has been installed in @Paris by @INRAE_France #LSCE @MPI_BGC @UniHeidelberg and @UniFreiburg. In our @ICOS_RI Cities @HorizonEU project we develop new methods measuring and attributing greenhouse gas emission reductions in EU cities.

It's an important step forward that @WMO Congress has adopted the #GlobalGHGWatch. @ICOS_RI will definitely contribute further to it. We are ready to support 💪.

I am very pleased to share our newly published article on soil organic carbon models and their validation procedures over time. This paper is the result of a collective research involving 26 soil scientists following a workshop at the #Géosciences_ENS nature.com/articles/s43247-0…

Did you already realise that ICOS released European Obspack for CO2 and CH4 that brings you historic data plus ICOS Level 2 plus ICOS near-realtime observation from 60 stations dating back from 1972 up to March 2023? icos-cp.eu/data-products/CEC… and icos-cp.eu/data-products/JM9…

BREAKING: Jon Stewart just completely destroyed Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm of Oklahoma on gun reform in America. Each and every point that Dahm tried to address was completely debunked by Stewart. Stewart made Dahm look as foolish as he and his republican colleagues really are.
My favorite quote was: “In every other place your life you want to bring order, but guns are the outlier for you.”
Let all your republican friends see this video! xitter.cf/TheProblem/statu…
