Totally Cooked: The Weather & Climate Podcast
The climate is changing. So is the conversation. Totally Cooked is a podcast about weather, climate change, and what it all means for life on Earth.

Our research on the emissions & projected impacts of new fossil fuel projects has been making news this week.
Joined by my co-authors @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social @raindrop-herder.bsky.social, we take a deeper look on the latest episode of Totally Cooked.

For so long, fossil fuel projects have said their contribution to climate change is "negligible".
Turns out that's wrong.
Our research in NPJ Climate Action proves it.
Every tonne of CO2 matters.

It's mother's day here in Australia. 🇦🇺
Here's my wish-list, according to my 8 year old.
She's not wrong 😂🥰

HUGE sigh of relief here in Australia! We've said NO to the conservatives. Actually, not just no, we've given them the middle finger and ran as fast as we could in the opposite direction.
There's no way they'll win now.
Even Dutton lost his seat....GOOOOOONE!! Byeeeee, Felicia 👋

6yo:"mum did you go to university?"
Me [thinking this is my moment to shine & discuss how women can achieve great things]: "yes. I have the highest level of education! Its called a PhD!"
6yo: "who is the tallest person at your work?"

Clearly we're not quite ready for this type of conversation yet 😂

Yet another beautiful and warm yet highly unseasonal day here in Canberra. Normally by now we've had frost, with chilly nights and mornings. There's a saying here that you should not your heater on before ANZAC day (April 25). Snowballs chance in hell of heaters being turned on early this year ☀️🌡😕

A few weeks ago I gave a presentation at the NASEM workshop on impact attribution. At 7.30am local time, clashing perfectly with getting 3 kids out the door. My middle one joined me and no doubt provided some entertainment for everyone. she loved pulling faces in the camera!

far out, Dutton. WHHHHYYYYYY are we STILL having this conversation in **2025**?
C'mon, Australia. Vote wisely this election

Gorgeous (but unseasonal and a bit concerning) weather in Canberra - high 20's for days on end. This should be a dream for generating home solar, but due to the grid not coping with so much of it, our system shuts down for hours on end. Infuriating to see so much clean energy literally go to waste.
