🚨 New paper 🚨 from one of our awesome students 🌊 We ask: if the AMOC shuts down, does Antarctica feel the impact via the ocean? Using a coupled climate and ice sheet model we come to the conclusion: not much, actually 😅 (with caveats, of course) esd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...
Simulating the impact of an AMOC weakening on the Antarctic Ice Sheet using a coupled climate and ice-sheet model
Abstract. Climate model studies show that a shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) reduces northward heat transport into the North Atlantic, which causes an accumulation of...

'Mind-blowing' El Niño stuns scientists. Why are they so concerned?
A Pacific El Niño is setting daily warm water records. Scientists say the world is in uncharted waters and they aren't sure what will happen next.

Absolutely wild. Read that again: the *actual* costs of *just wildfire smoke* are higher than the currently projected costs of *all climate impacts combined*.
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 3w agoWe didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.
