The number of glaciers disappearing worldwide each year is projected to sharply increase, peaking at 2,000–4,000 per year around the middle of the century, depending on the level of warming above pre-industrial levels: spklr.io/63324BQ8QK

Peak glacier extinction in the mid-twenty-first century - Nature Climate Change
Many mountain glaciers will disappear with warming. Here the authors assess how many glaciers will disappear per year under different warming scenarios, finding that a peak in glacier loss will happen during the mid-twenty-first century.

🚨 New paper alert! ❄️

How many glaciers will exist by 2100 at +1.5 °C vs +4 °C warming? Our new study led by @landervt.bsky.social , projects the extinction year of ~200,000 glaciers worldwide. 🌍🧊

Can you imagine the Alps with only 20 glaciers remaining?

US cities consume 11 million tonnes of meat each year, producing 329 million tonnes of carbon emissions. A new study in @natclimate.nature.com shows emissions could drop by up to 51% by cutting waste and swapping beef for poultry: spklr.io/63329Bo7Xz

Emissions in the coming decades lock in centuries of sea-level rise. A study in Nature Climate Change with VUB shows current policies add 0.3m by 2300. But strong mitigation can still avoid 0.6m of future rise, protecting coasts like Flanders. @natclimate.nature.com

Climate skeptics actively engage in information avoidance. We need to bring them to the facts and let the facts do their work:

Using generative AI to increase sceptics’ engagement with climate science - Nature Climate Change
Climate sceptics tend to avoid climate information, making it even harder to reduce scepticism. This study shows that generative AI can enhance sceptics’ engagement with climate news by tailoring headlines to their existing perspective and shift their beliefs towards the scientific consensus.

How expensive are natural disturbances for Europes forestry?

I'm super excited, that @natclimate.nature.com decided to publish a Research Briefing by @rupertseidl.bsky.social and me related to our recent paper on the cost of disturbances. Check it out here:

www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Climate change raises costs for European forestry - Nature Climate Change
Natural disturbances, such as windthrows, pest outbreaks and wildfires, pose a major economic threat for the forestry sector. By coupling spatially explicit ecological and economic forest models, this study assesses the costs of natural disturbances under current and future climate conditions for all of Europe.

A study in Nature Climate Change shows that the ocean carbon sink unexpectedly declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics. 🌊 🧪
Unexpected decline in the ocean carbon sink under record-high sea surface temperatures in 2023 - Nature Climate Change
The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El Niño years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics.
