🚨 Important paper in Nature: "Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors".

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

The surprising similarity between rivers and trees

Rivers are not just water flowing to the sea — they’re living networks that connect land, air, and underground worlds. And these connections need to be maintained. Dig in for more. And stay tuned for the next two in this 3-part series.

Tree-planting is always good, right? Well, it turns out that a tree planted in the wrong place can actually have a negative impact on the climate. That’s why a research team with scientists from The Nature Conservancy developed maps to help with strategic reforestation for maximum benefit!
New maps help decision-makers factor albedo into tree-planting plans
Albedo can cause large reductions to the climate benefit of tree planting – but new science helps identify locations with greatest climate-cooling potential

Ojo a este artículo que se acaba de publicar en Nature Communications:

· En el 96% (de 940) de eventos de mortalidad de bosques analizados, previamente ha ocurrido una sequía dentro del 10% de las más extremas 🍂
· La duración e intensidad de estas sequías van en aumento 📈

How long does it take until we detect forced signals in global and regional land carbon fluxes?

And can we use dynamical adjustment to reduce the noise and shorten the detection time?

The 7 billion tonne gap!

Climate science & national emissions reporting use different definitions & methods to estimate anthropogenic land-based carbon removals.

This is no small issue, but what can we do about it?
