Article on how aerosols influence climate climatedata.ca/resource/aer... and subsequently how understanding this is important when considering SSP3-7.0 climatedata.ca/resource/aer...
I can't overstate the importance of the guidance in the Learning Zone articles linked to in previous post. Big hat tip to my colleague @ruth-moore.bsky.social especially for an excellent job summarizing in plain language some complex science around how aerosols interact with ghg scenarios.

Can’t give all the credit to me! A group effort between a bunch of friends. Becca has inspired me to start sharing my #scicomm baking so get ready for that in the days ahead 😊
@ruth-moore.bsky.social has mastered #scicomm through cake

Many areas are seeing record snowfall this winter, thanks to global warming--or rather, global weirding!
How so?
It hasn't been cold enough for lakes other than Erie to completely ice over yet. As cold air sweeps across them, it's picking up moisture and dumping massive snowfall on the other side.

🔵🔴⚠️The ongoing cold spell affecting USA and Canada is bringing heavy snowfalls and very low temperatures,triggering a #lakeeffectsnow that covers 800km from LakeSuperior to LakeOntario, with all the Great Lakes seen a in this Sentinel-3 view of Feb.17.

Our Gulf Coast blizzard spun across the Atlantic and turned into Ireland's strongest-ever storm, the equivalent of a Cat 1 hurricane.

I was a grad student when the 2007 IPCC report came out, the two highest emissions pathways predicted warming of 3.4 or 4 degrees. "A bit less than 3C" is still too high, but thanks to activists, scientists, and policymakers we have brought the number down. Our climate future is still being written.
New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C.

Moving away from high-end emissions scenarios
I have a new commentary in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes in current policy scenarios

All I want for Christmas is for you to consult future #climate projections in your work next year. Everywhere you are affected by weather or climate now, even indirectly, can use climate projections instead of past data. Design, planning, maintenance, operations, procurement, accounting. All of it.

Most overlooked climate science + policy finding:
Ten years ago, national policies had us on pace for ~4 C or more warming (IPCC statement at left, 2014 report).
Today, national policies, if fully implemented, have us on pace for ~3 C of warming (IPCC statement at right, 2023 report).

The issue with hosting a UN climate summit in Azerbaijan was not just that it is a fossil fuel producer, but that it is an authoritarian fossil fuel producer. If you let an undemocratic country host and chair the climate negotiations, you are likely to get an undemocratic process and outcome.
