Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

Hot off the press: We can provide for the first time a systematic attribution of recent #heatwaves to the emissions of #carbon_majors. Essential new #Nature article coordinated by @yannquilcaille.bsky.social at @ethz.ch, with numerous contributors @usyseth.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nature research paper: Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors go.nature.com/46gmxjh

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature

Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

In the lead up to the Overshoot Conference @iiasa.ac.at Sep 30-Oct 2, the organizers had a fantastic nerdy idea to get the leading experts in their fields share their perspectives on the key themes.

The richest 10% of people worldwide contributed to about two-thirds of global warming since 1990, and the top 1% alone about one-fifth. If the entire world had emitted like the bottom 50%, there would have been minimal warming since 1990. Lot more in there (check out this figure) 👇 3/

Mal kurz von den Livetickern aufgeblickt: das @iiasa.ac.at hat eine neue Studie rausgehauen, die sich mit #GenderEquality & #Klimaresilienz beschäftigt. Demnach könne eine Gleichstellung der Geschlechter die Fähigkeit einer Gesellschaft, mit dem #Klimawandel umzugehen, verbessern. bit.ly/3CMg1Gh 👈

Have you ever wondered if the global leadership on climate would be less depressing if we had more Luisas and fewer Elons? With gender equality backsliding everywhere, it’s super important to stress its role in addressing the climate crisis. A 🧵 on our new paper on gender equality & scenarios:

Great coverage of our recent study on 2024 warming and the 1.5°C limit by @tinymaddie.bsky.social here: www.newscientist.com/article/2467... @bevacquae.bsky.social

Have we already breached the 1.5°C global warming target?

Although the climate goals set by the Paris Agreement are based on the long-term average temperature, one year of high temperatures might be a sign that the 1.5°C threshold has already been reached

In Nature Climate Change, we show that a year above 1.5 °C signals that Earth is most probably within the 20-year period that will reach the Paris Agreement limit. @natclimchange.bsky.social

What a first year with temperature 1.5 °C above the pre-industrial baseline implies for long-term temperature goals is unclear. Here the authors show that such a first year above the baseline is highl...

This is close to my heart: Why gender (in)equalities matter in our fight against climate change. Women that lack education or access to finance, cannot take good decisions, like growing new crops, or investing in irrigation systems. Equality is essential when we talk about future solutions.

I imagine a lot more would get done if leadership at #COP29 looked like this.

The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) are a key input to climate change mitigation & adaptation research - but what about urbanization, structural change & governance? Join the launch webinar of the SSP-Extensions Explorer! 🗓️29 Feb 2024 ⏰15pm CET iiasa.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The SSP-Extensions Explorer is an interface for quantifications of adaptive capacity across scenarios within the SSP-framework. The Explorer extends the work by @andrijevic.bsky.social, @carlschleussner.bsky.social @etheokritoff.bsky.social @adellethomas.bsky.social et al. in Nature Climate Change.

Poignant piece by Fatima Bhutto in @washingtonpost.com w/ thoughts on climate change as the most urgent feminist issue: "Even our boldest notions of how to improve the status of women [...] will be meaningless if women are swept away in mega floods, buried in landslides or suffocated by wildfires."

Opinion | Climate change is the catastrophe to end all other catastrophes

Humanity will endure wildfires, super floods, storms, hurricanes and tsunamis for as long as possible — perhaps not long at all.
