Who else is coming to EGU this year? I think I sort of have to go...
Congratulations Dr Kaitlin Naughten on receiving the EGU Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists!
Her work has transformed understanding of Antarctic ice-shelf melt and future sea-level rise.
She says, “It was a lovely surprise to hear that I'd won this prestigious award."

your energy bills are rising because they're forcing you to use millions-years-old sunlight instead of today's

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement:
I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings.
Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

If you stop observing the sea ice it stops declining, right?
This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

Here I am - loudly, and clumsily, declaring support!
not to invalidate my trans siblings but, personally, cis allies loudly declaring support for us right now does help keep despair at bay even if it changes nothing. I don’t care how you phrase it, how clumsy. Please be there for/with us, loudly. It fights the voices that scream everyone hates us.

I've had 3 requests to review journal articles in the last week, which is not that unusual these days. Is this normal for a scientist approaching mid-career stage? Or is it a consequence of editors trying to have gender-balanced review panels in a field where women are underrepresented?

I don't know what to say about NOAA except that my heart goes out to every single one of you who lost a job yesterday. Your work is appreciated all around the world, not just in the US. I hate living in a dystopia.

Climate scientist here, I heartily endorse this podcast episode!
For a topic so ripe with misinformation, it's refreshing to see a couple of non-experts get it completely right.

I have a slight disagreement. Ian rejects the word "denial" due to its association with Holocaust denial and Dorian didn't see the connection.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like.
