Here's a really handy video that explains how @carbonbrief.org made its Cosmos database of climate studies. Includes a giant tower of every IPCC report stacked on top of each other - with a real-life human standing next to it for scale! By @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org and @jjgoodman.bsky.social

Project Cosmos is Carbon Brief’s universe of 1.8 million climate science papers. In this video, science correspondent @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org explains the database’s features. Explore the database here ➡️ bit.ly/4eXC4tK

Our attribution map now features >800 studies, searching for the "fingerprint" of climate change on almost 1,000 extreme weather events ☀️🌧️🌀🔥❄️ 77% of the studies find that climate change made the event more severe or likely. Please do check out this super useful resource!

To keep track of the rapidly growing field of attribution research, Carbon Brief has mapped every published study on how climate change has influenced extreme weather. Explore the interactive map here ⬇️ interactive.carbonbrief.org/attribution-...

The Ed Miliband hate-fest in the UK press continued last year. Predominantly right-wing newspapers published an incredible 112 editorials attacking the energy secretary. That's two editorials a week, and more than twice as many as 2024, calling him a "crazed" "zealot" suffering with “eco insanity”

Huge thanks to the dozens of climate scientists who sent us their rebuttals to the catalogue of outright falsehoods and misleading claims in Trump's new 'critical' climate report. This factcheck is the longest article CB has ever published - 27,500 words already and likely to keep growing...

NEW ANALYSIS - English neighbourhoods that are home to the most minority-ethnic people are 15 times more likely to face extreme heat than the least diverse areas. Heatwaves are getting more severe – but the effects of rising temperatures are not being felt equally... ➡️ buff.ly/boWI6M1

Two important attribution studies were published today. I covered both for @carbonbrief.org 1️⃣ Shows that heat/drought extremes are overwhelmingly caused by the wealthiest 10%: buff.ly/0Se78bM 2️⃣ Finds that younger generations will face "unprecedented exposure" to climate extremes: buff.ly/Qxw80Un

Two-thirds of global warming since 1990 caused by world’s ‘wealthiest 10%’ - Carbon Brief

Of the 0.61C increase in global average temperatures over 1990-2020, a new study estimates that 65% was due to the emissions of the wealthiest 10%.

A lot to unpack from the @ipcc.bsky.social meeting last week! Not least the continuing stalemate over the AR7 timeline, plus the US no-show, outlines for the working group reports and the CDR report + much more Includes comments from IPCC chair @jimskeaclimate.bsky.social too ⬇️
