It was a pleasure to contribute evidence to the long running Antarctic Inquiry, alongside @klausdodds.bsky.social and @huwiceandstuff.bsky.social. The Antarctic is changing rapidly, and requires urgent and targeted study to understand present and future sea level contributions.

Must read.
It's been death by a million papercuts to U.S. weather forecasts by the Trump administration, but yesterday's detailed 2026 budget feels like a deathblow. In today's @nytimes.com I ask: How far can we degrade our hurricane forecasting before people end up dead?
