"a kind of celebration of ignorance"

Aus aktuellem Anlass, sehr hörenswerte Episode mit Volker Kutscher.

My latest looks at an audacious new geoengineering proposal: Damming the Bering Strait to save the Atlantic's overturning circulation from collapse.

It would bring all the ecological, social, and political problems -- and it could cause the collapse it's trying to forestall. (Or not.)

Unbelievable footage from NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters inside the eye of Hurricane Erin.

Simply incredible.

Today's story, republished in SciAm:
Most AI weather models aren't very good yet at predicting local extreme weather. But they're showing promise - and experts say NOAA needs more investment in these tools, which Trump cuts threaten to stymie. www.scientificamerican.com/article/ai-w...

I am part of a large group of authors who just published a paper in AGU Advances about the importance of continuing measurements of the Earth's energy imbalance.

I have a new oped in the San Antonio Express-News & Austin American Statesman about the Texas flooding.

The President’s budget proposes devastating cuts to NOAA, which helps everyone understand and prepare for extreme weather. NOAA was also in the middle of developing new flood maps for neighborhoods. bsky.app/profile/cost...

HAPPY 75th, NSF!

We’re celebrating this milestone by highlighting some of NSF’s most transformative accomplishments—innovations that have shaped our world and continue to drive progress in health, technology, the environment, and beyond.

Read on 🧵(1/11):

If you're wondering what the impact of NSF cutting the overhead rate, I wrote something about this for The Climate Brink.

This sounds boring but, make no mistake, this is an existential threat for the U.S.'s competitiveness in the 21st century.

Meet Dr. Geeta Persad, a NOAA-funded scientist using cutting-edge climate models to study how aerosol pollution influences extreme events like heat waves, drought, and wildfires. Learn how her journey and research are helping communities build resilience: cpo.noaa.gov/womens-histo...

The "tipping point" jumped from pop culture to pop climate science. This scary phrase, originally intended to motivate stronger emission reduction, is now being used to support geongineering deployment, costly "negative emissions" and doomism that absolves humans of agency.
This paper explains how:

In a new interdisciplinary Nature Climate Change Perspective paper, led by me, @lisgilmore and Rachael Shwom, we offer a critical perspective on #climate and social “tipping points.” 🎁: rdcu.be/d2gBC 🧵

SpeedyWeather.jl just got its own podcast episode! Wonderful conversation with Abby and Arfon who founded JOSS, the Journal of Open-Source Software 🥳 Tune in, I promise no tool shaming ;)
