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/klimako…

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?

@KatrinJM @DrJucker @StevenSherwood4 Sounds cool! Paper link?

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. Why? New research by D Dutta, @DrJucker, @StevenSherwood4, A Sen Gupta, @KatrinJM, and J Zhu. A thread 1/6

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

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

@melissatraveler @julie_arblaster @timraupach @NeginNazarian Yep. I completely disengaged with the brutal looking X and most of its content… let’s see if the sky is brighter on the other side :-)

How do 5 climate scientists kill time while waiting for a 3am flight to the WCRP Open Science Conference? We join the other place ☁️💙🌅. Follow us! #WCRPOSC

@DrJucker We saw the waterspout too ❤️

@StevenJPhipps Great decision, Steven. I hope lots of people will be smart enough to vote for you! Be the change 👍

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m running as an independent candidate for Hobart City Council. As a climate scientist, I no longer feel able to sit on the sidelines. The coming decade is critical and will transform the way we live. It’s time to put my hand up and do what I can.

Thank you #ICP14 for an amazing week of science… and the opportunity to finally catch up in person again with colleagues from all over the world. 🇳🇴🐟❤️

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/7554903/… via @canberratimes

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.
