Seeing this in budget 2025. Can someone make the case for why we need to spend $2.7 billion on new computing resources for Meteorological forecasting when we are in a dire need for improved investment in our weather monitoring network? Models need high-quality observational data...

The new UNEP report is out with the latest estimates of 2100 warming outcomes under current policies, NDCs, and net-zero targets. Here is how it compares to both the IPCC scenarios and other estimates (CAT and IEA, who will release their own updates soon!).

The latest @unep.org #EmissionsGap Report 2025 finds that global emissions continue to rise.
WMO’s own most recent Greenhouse Gas Bulletin also reported that carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the atmosphere soared by a record amount to new highs in 2024.

I actually just turned down a peer review request for a research proposal for this reason given its subject matter. Tri-Council leadership need to step up.
We’ve all been “Reviewer 2’d” but I strongly believe in the peer review system. This demand for information, in its current form, will undermine it for one of Canada’s largest research funding programs: If reviewers can’t be honest in their opinions without fear of reprisal, it all falls apart.
🧵The Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research has put forward a motion to release ALL data in relation to federal research funding applications.
This motion was put forward by conservative MPs who are skeptical of funding being allocated "fairly."

Impact of flights on global warming severely underestimated by many carbon calculators & offset schemes that don’t properly account for taxiing, sub-optimal routing or non-CO2 climate effects which are larger component:

Your flight emissions are way higher than carbon calculators suggest
Existing tools that work out the carbon footprint of flights greatly underestimate their warming impact, say the makers of a new calculator

Just out in Science Advances. Researchers (mostly) from Atlantic Canada find seasonal freeze-thaw mounds on the seafloor in Subarctic Canada (~57°N). This builds on earlier work (Normandeau et al. 2024 - Nature) that found subsea permafrost in this region. /1
