🌍 Our new @natclimate.nature.com study, led by @xuyanbin.bsky.social shows climate variations like El Niño don’t just affect weather — they can shape long-term human health and economic outcomes. Proud to contribute on the climate science side.

Met Office 2026 global temperature forecast released today: very likely a fourth consecutive year above 1.4 C and >1.5 C possible again. Highlights the vanishingly small headroom we have to stay below 1.5 C to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change.

2026 outlook: likely another year above 1.4°C
The Met Office outlook for the global average temperature in 2026 suggests an extension of the run of years with a value above 1.4°C, compared to pre-industrial levels.

Friends at NCAR, we're with you.

@ncar-ucar.bsky.social is a trailblazer in community modelling driven not by idealogy, but by open science. We share all our code, thoughts, ideas. These can't be shut down.

We'll fight and find every mechanism to support the ongoing CESM community.

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.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
