The Greenlandification of Antarctica - Nature Geoscience

Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

Right then... A quick review of the DOE's new 'critical review' of climate science. Whether it's worth a formal community response - I'm still not sure, but here's my first thoughts /thread/

I can't imagine there will be any problems with this summary of climate science

In today’s climate, #atmosphericrivers play a major role in bringing snowfall to #Antarctica. Have you ever wondered how that might change in the future? Out today, our new study on the future frequency and precipitation impacts of Antarctic atmospheric rivers: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

We kicked off the morning with energy and purpose, ready to bring Earth and space science to the Hill. Christine (@catswx.bsky.social), an atmospheric scientist, joined others in highlighting the importance of federal support for climate research.

Such an energizing day standing up for science… Huge shout out to the AGU Policy team for making it happen!

That’s a wrap on AGU’s Local Science Partners Congressional Visits Day! Today, scientists like Christine Shields (@catswx.bsky.social) met with members of Congress to advocate for strong science funding and evidence-based policy. Here’s a quick recap of the day:🧵⬇️ #AGUinDC #SciencePolicy

🧵 1/4 I'm very happy to share this comprehensive review paper covering atmospheric rivers in Antarctica. It was an idea that started during a workshop in Boulder back in summer 2023 and now is finally published thanks to an amazing team effort rdcu.be/d9nFY.

Lots of adaptation $$ will be needed soon, and there won’t be enough for everything: “the cost of maintaining roads in just the US will increase by $100 billion a year by 2050 (in 2018 dollars), or roughly half of what state and local governments spent on roads in 2021.”

Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · 2y ago

Around 10 years ago I almost died because a road not built with climate change in mind was so wrecked it damaged the bus I was on. I knew that I would eventually write a story about how climate change is wrecking roads, and endangering lives. This is me trying to explain that. Gift lift.

On the ground #COP29, negotiations mostly surround how the world will pay for adaptation, mitigation, and loss&damage from climate change. Sometimes it is hard to see the forest through the trees but progress marches slowly forward. 🧪
