Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

We're excited to announce the launch of a new virtual institute! The Decarbonization and Energy Virtual Institute (DEVI) is seeking expressions of intent for innovative, cross-disciplinary projects that address methodological gaps in energy transition modeling.

Investing in R&D has never been more critical. In the US, R&D expenditure as a share of GDP has stagnated since the mid-1960s and is below 1%. We can do better.
Never forget that greenhouse gas emissions and and economic growth decoupled a LONG time ago. Anyone who tells you that our economy depends on ever-increasing use of fossil fuels is mistaken at best, and lying at worst, and they've been wrong for at least 20 years.

Honored and grateful to have raised three future service dogs. 🙏 🐾 These amazing pups bring independence, comfort, and so much joy to their future human partners. ❤️ #GuideDogs #PuppyRaiser
Behavioral scientists are studying puppies in hopes of developing a behavior model that can predict the likelihood a dog will successfully complete training and enter the canine workforce.
They’re all good boys and girls, but only some can be service dogs
For now, there is no way to predict which dogs will make good workers, but canine behavioral scientists are trying to change that.

With the October data in GISTEMP, it is almost certain that 2024 will be a new annual temperature record.
Best estimate is for 1.47°C above pre-industrial, but it could be above 1.5°C depending on the this month and next (of course).

The alarming slowdown of the ocean carbon pump shows why we need a global ocean health observing system. @SOCCOMProject @GO_BGC @bgc_argo data are critical to study how climate change is changing the ocean, especially the Southern Ocean.

We now have results from a modern reanalysis product (ERA5) that shows November 17th was in fact the first day the world has experienced that was 2C above the preindustrial (1850-1900) average.
Hopefully it will prove transitory, but its a worrying sign.

Provisional ERA5 global temperature for 17th November from @CopernicusECMWF was 1.17°C above 1991-2020 - the warmest on record.
Our best estimate is that this was the first day when global temperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C.

Nov 1 (Reuters) - Occidental Petroleum (OXY.N) said on Wednesday it would sell 27,500 metric tons of direct air capture (DAC) carbon dioxide removal credits to TD Bank (TD.TO) over four years.
The credit purchase represents one of the largest DAC credit deals by a financial institution, the companies said, and TD plans to some of the credits to offset its own operational emissions.
TD will buy the credits from Occidental's carbon capture, utilization and sequestration unit 1PointFive's STRATOS, a DAC plant under construction in Texas.
