I made a list (or 'starter pack') of Land Surface Modelers, because that's the kind of thing one does on #bluesky. Please tell your friends and also (v. important) TELL ME if you want to be added. We need more people here! go.bsky.app/Mw4tJ3t

Our hope here is thus to foster more awareness of and participation in ISI-MIP experiments, share challenges, and raise & answer questions.

Subscribe to the ILMF list (we will send a reminder+link on Monday), or DM me and I'll send you it if that's too complicated :)

ISI-MIP is a major forum for climate impact assessment, & for many sectors land surface models provide a large % of projections. But (unlike the use of land surface models by coupled Earth System Models), connection between impact assessment teams & LSM developers does not happen automatically

On Monday 10th @14:00 BST |15:00 CET |07:00 MT, the International Land Model Forum and ISI-MIP are hosting a joint webinar. Topics will include:
The design of ISIMIP experiments,
Harmonization of forcing and land-use data,
Shared challenges e.g. generating sub-daily forcings for offline forcing.

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 7d

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Sales of non-diesel heavy trucks in the Chinese domestic market reached 57% of the total in September. LNG truck sales are still doing well, but the growth is largely in battery trucks.

Glad you liked it. I added you too now :) also congrats on your Amazon paper!

Amazon forest resistance to drought is increased by diversity in hydraulic traits - Nature Communications

The hyper-diverse tropical forests of the Amazon store vast carbon stocks, but whether this diversity increases their resistance to future drought remains uncertain. This simulation study suggests that higher diversity in plant functional traits increases biomass resistance to both short- and long-term drought.

How is this happening, that random gangs of bribed vigilantes are hunting people in the streets of formerly civilized cities? I know there is a lot to process right now, but this one got to me more than most.

Rebecca Solnit @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · Sep 29

The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

Opinion | A Responsible Way to Cool the Planet

A small, carefully scaled geoengineering program could compensate for the loss of cooling as we eliminate sulfur pollution.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.
