Thinking of everyone affected by the #Victorianfires.
We are 600m above sea level - would be roughly 6deg hotter if we had no elevation.
My concerns have amplified since.
My family has grown but we're now in Canberra & doing as much as possible to reduce carbon footprint & adapt.

This heatwave is bad.
The bushfires it is enabling are also bad.
Climate scientists & meteorologists are incredibly concerned about the next 48 hours.
And this is just a taste of what's to come.

that was once serious cock-up by Defense!
The fire is 300km away, in Victoria.
Much of Australia is currently in a heatwave, in some places the hottest temps for >15 years.
Cool change forcasted in south-east from tomorrow onwards, but this is a recipe for disaster for firefighting

Emma was a fabulous all-rounder.
Terrific scientist, articulate Communicator, brilliant advocate for women in science.
She will be deeply missed.

We're working on a webpage that can basically do this, based on our paper + more impacts included. Will be launched sometime in the new year - watch this space

In our study, led by @sarahinscience.bsky.social, we find that the intensity, length and frequency of heatwaves do not return to pre-industrial levels under net zero - and in many regions barely improve at all.

My husband asked if there was a hit out on me already, and whether he need to look in to witness protection. I'm not entirely sure if that was all said in humor

Turns out that's wrong.
Our research in NPJ Climate Action proves it.
Every tonne of CO2 matters.

But we had a lot of fun with this episode. This one is more for the entertainment value.
@instrachan.bsky.social & I dissect the 2004 "blockbuster" The Day After Tomorrow.
Prepare for tangents, skepticism, laughs, & maybe even some climate science.
