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

Can we do a sweepstake on which 'thinktank'-employed retired geologist they are going to wheel out to be in charge of USGCRP?

BTW we have been through the 'dirt drying in the sun' merry-go-round in NorESM the last couple of months. The degree to which the soil evaporation changes (introduced to reduce runoff & arctic salinity) altered the climate was a little distressing for all concerned. But it wouldn't have made good TV

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.
Maue did not respond to requests for comment from E&E News. But he wrote on X that he was enlisting artificial intelligence to help with the latest National Climate Assessment. He cited the Gemini 3 Pro program as well as Grok, an Al chatbot developed by xAl, the artificial intelligence company led by tech tycoon Elon Musk. https://www.eenews.net/articles/its-the-gold-standard-of-us-climate-research-contrarians-could-write-the-next-one/

"He's an expert on oceans, she's an expert on land processes, those two specialize in the atmosphere," Aas explains.
Each week, they gather digitally to discuss the globeβ€”or more precisely, a representation of it. Together, they're developing a climate model.

Their hope is that climate science itself will somehow fade off into the distance. But the ideal of NCAR is a successful meme, that has spread far and wide through the climate science community. We share, we volunteer, we organize, and we collaborate. And we will continue our work, come what may 2/2

That the NCAR Mesa lab is beautiful is no accident. Assigning a beautiful place and building to the important task of understanding our planet speaks of a society that values both this undertaking, and the people who do it. To take that away is emblematic of attempts to undermine this status. 1/2

I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life and supercharged my ability to do science. NCAR's unique community nature makes it a global node in atmospheric and climate research. It's really not possible to overstate its value for science and society.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

The beautiful idea of NCAR, to improve understanding of our planet through a cooperative, shared and open intellectual team effort, is literally what has got me out of bed every morning for nearly two decades. This cannot, CANNOT be allowed to happen.

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency.

This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

This is, indeed, one of the most often-discussed potential tipping points. Noting that we don't actually say anything about rainfall recycling, and so the self-reinforcing properties of a tipping point are not part of this paper.
