We keep hearing scary predictions about sea level rise, but it’s hard to imagine what it will mean for🌊to rise 2+ ft.
In this WWNO Sea Change episode, we go to Virginia, San Francisco & Louisiana, where communities are coming up with w/solutions to the rising water.

From Sea to Rising Sea
We keep hearing scary predictions about sea level rise, but it’s hard to imagine what it will mean for seas to rise two feet…4 feet…even 7 feet by the end of the century. This episode takes you to eac...

New Weather West post! I discuss the inbound strong, moist, and very slow-moving #AtmosphericRiver that is aimed squarely at northern CA & its potential to bring very heavy rain/flooding. Plus, what's a #BombCyclone got to do with it? #CAwx #ORwx #CAwater weatherwest.com/arch...
Sudden shift to very wet conditions in NorCal with strong & very slow-moving atmospheric river poised to soak region in coming days; flooding likely in north - Weather West
A dry autumn to date in most of California! But hydroclimate whiplash to come... It did turn out to be a much drier than average autumn across most of California and the Southwest after all (except the northernmost part of the state). Well, that has been true through mid-November, at least--though it's going to change

For those who are keeping track, that's named storm #18. Only 11 seasons going back to 1851 have seen that many storms. (Note: the last time tropical Atlantic temps were near this warm and we were headed toward La Nina--2005--the season extended into January)
Tropical Storm Sara has formed and is closing in on Central America where it is set to unleash disastrous flooding rain with "life-threatening" impact.

The National Hurricane Center is also asking residents of the eastern Gulf Coast, including Florida, to monitor the storm closely since it has the potential to reach the US.

Here is another #Bluesky starter pack with scientists who were involved in the @ipcc.bsky.social #AR6 reports (with a likely WGI bias). Please let me know if I missed you!

We’ve suspected for a long time that rainfall variability increases with warming. Now, observations are long enough and of sufficient quality to prove it. Not enough rain, and then too much, exacerbates climate impacts and makes adaptation more difficult.

Anthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past century
As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to b...

Made my first starter pack! These are the climate journalists I know and love and highly recommend following on BlueSky so far. Please tell me who I'm missing (and apologies in advance if I've missed you, I swear it's not intentional!)

Pls frame the Lahaina/Maui fires as a climate justice issue. W/o this framing, recovery will amplify & entrench systemic disenfranchisement on Indigenous Hawaiians. These events have cascading effects incl housing&food security, tattered social cohesion, loss of cultural sites... Climate action now.

Sometimes I think about how when it’s time to rebuild Ukraine that the coastal zones will need to be built with considering sea level rise. (It’s a joy being inside my brain.)

So I, GenX nearly 50, have been in grad school (Energy Policy & Climate) since last fall. One huge thing that’s stuck with me is this pew poll that shows that MOST Repubs understand climate change & support more fed action. It completely flips the 24-hr news cycle “deeply divided nation” narrative.
Two-Thirds of Americans Think Government Should Do More on Climate
Over half of Republicans and overwhelming shares of Democrats say they favor a range of initiatives to reduce the impacts of climate change.

I’m sure there’s some sociological term for “a society that is becoming hysterical about unreal threats they made up because actually addressing real threats would upset the power structure too much so they’d rather die” but all I know is that it sucks
