Great visualization about how warming in the Arctic (like we're having right now) is leading to colder winters with more snowfall ๐Ÿ‘‡

It's awfully ironic that this was Lord Whitehead's answer, as at the @nebriefing.bsky.social Prof. @kevinclimate.bsky.social told the attendees in no uncertain terms that the 1.5C goal was now out of reach and 2C will soon be too!

That many dont know this yet shows the need of a government briefing

"I was talking about extreme weather events. How they're rapidly increasing all over the world. How they're increasing much faster than #climate models predict. So faster than we expected, & they're causing severe impacts"

Watching this and hearing @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social say "This is the least extreme climate that you will experience in your lifetime" should have everyone rushing to sign this open letter to the PM www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-... Kill the disinfo - the UK needs to be properly prepared!
This is not the video I had planned to make.
I had a completely different video planned for today. But life changed last week, and I thought you should know about it. Visit the National Emergency Briefing websiteโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve just announced Iโ€™ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , itโ€™s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .

This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ง Our new paper, led by Geert Lenderink, shows recent European extreme rainfall events have localised climate change responses beyond the expected Clausius-Clapeyron rate โ€“ potentially enhancing flash floods in a warmer climate.
