As a climate scientist, I know the knock-on effects of heatwaves like these — and we need to act urgently independent.co.uk/voices/canada-…

New study: Quick action to #CutMethane emissions can slow climate warming rate by 30%. Fastest, cheapest emissions cuts are in oil & gas. Study underscores that reducing oil & gas methane *now* matters irrespective of if gas stays in the system longer. edf.org/ZXgL

Air quality in China is improving faster than we thought and this may cause a problem for the newest climate models to simulate climate since 2000s and project its change in the next 3 decades. @YangyangTAMU #npjclimatsci go.nature.com/3c7sSD7

@kristinapistone Sadly they do not have the money

I tell you, nothing feels quite as good as having spent ~2mos on a proposal you thought turned out really well and you were actually excited to do the science, and then (6mo later) it's rejected due to "its overall quality and relevance in relation to other proposals received."

@kristinapistone Time flies

Happy defensiversary to me! I guess by some metrics I am not "early career" anymore? So I vote in favor of using those other metrics :)

Can we get @realDonaldTrump to sit in on one of these remedial climate classes with @GregAbbott_TX? ow.ly/JDOQ30nhdOK @AndrewDessler @cohan_ds @KerryonClimate @busbyj2 @DrSpeedyDee @YangyangTAMU @sneakypeteiii @biogeochem @KaraKockelman @Dr_Mark_Torres

Prof John Schellnhuber Founding Director of the @PIK_Climate Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research: "The question is not if we will miss the 1.5 C , we will, the question is by what margin? If we want to save millions of lives we must think in non-linearities" #COP24

@ed_hawkins @VariabilityBlog Yes that is from spm sr15, all numbers have uncertainty including ours. Let me send you the raw figures this evening .thanks

@YangyangTAMU @VariabilityBlog OK - so that whole sentence which uses Smith et al as a citation at the end has nothing to do with the results of Smith et al? And the 'IPCC projection' of 0.2C/decade in your figure is the 'current' rate stated in the SR1.5 report, without the uncertainties?

@YangyangTAMU In your recent Nature comment, your statement about 0.25–0.32 °C/decade cites Smith et al. (2018, GRL), and I'm curious where in the paper those numbers are derived from? Thanks. (cc. @VariabilityBlog)

@ed_hawkins @VariabilityBlog Sorry I meant multimodal mean in my figure. Did not use anything quantitative from smith, but I agree careful decadal prediction is needed

@YangyangTAMU @VariabilityBlog Your text says 'the next 25 years are poised to warm at a rate of 0.25–0.32 °C per decade' but Smith et al only shows data up to 2027 in Figure 2, i.e. the next 10 years. Please can you be more precise about where these numbers come from? Not at AGU to discuss unfortunately.
