What humans do to change climate matters much, much more than natural climate variations in determining future ice loss from Greenland 👉 Read about the results of the Greenland Ice Sheet Large Ensemble (GrISLENS) Project in our paper out now in The Cryosphere doi.org/10.5194/tc-1...
The Greenland Ice Sheet Large Ensemble (GrISLENS): simulating the future of Greenland under climate variability
Abstract. The Greenland ice sheet has lost ice at an increasing pace over recent decades, driven by a combination of human-caused climate change and internal variability in the climate system. In proj...

If extreme weather had a capital, it would be Mumbai. We’ve got it all: floods, sea-level rise, cyclones, heat islands.
Mumbaikars are sick of being called resilient and being caught off-guard.
But forecasting the monsoon is fraught, more so with climate change. My dispatch for @carbonbrief.org👇🏽

⏰ New study shows ambitious mitigation (1.5°C) saves 2X as much ice globally (53% left) than our current pathway, which will destroy >75% glacier ice once it fully adjusts to a warmer climate
Every fraction of °C counts!
+0.1°C warmer = 2% more glacier mass lost

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

I first worked on this icefield in 1981. Change was expected, but the change we are reporting in 2024 is breathtaking in scale and acceleration. Project led by masterfully by @bethandavies.bsky.social, coordinating many data streams. apnews.com/article/glac...
Melting of Alaska's Juneau icefield accelerates, losing snow nearly 5 times faster than in the 1980s
A new study says the melting of Alaska’s Juneau icefield, home to more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating.

And as much as programs like the Voluntary Carbon Standard (now Verra) and the CDM and the Gold Standard and their peers have tried to make these things work, the way these organizations themselves have shifted, mutated, renamed, and reborn themselves is enough indication that there's problems afoot
