Curious how data centers might impact #energy use and our #climate future? Thanks to @climateinteractive.org you can now explore that in the brilliant En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator! 🙌 This is also one of the tools we're happy to help you learn to use @engageclimatesci.bsky.social. 🤓💡 #AI

En-ROADS Climate Solution Simulator platform shows graphs of how data center energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions from energy use interacts with climate actions.

Deep sea turbulence - small scale processes with important impacts across fisheries, floods, rising seas, and more. Plus, hard to study and model. Thanks to a super ocean turbulence lecture from Kiki Schulz at GRISO summer school, this article/research caught my eye. phys.org/news/2026-07...

Hidden deep-sea turbulence could alter climate and fisheries within one lifetime

Tiny, invisible swirls and twirls—not much bigger than a coin—deep below the ocean's surface are silently shaping some of the biggest forces shaping our climate: sea level rise, fisheries collapse, ex...

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is blanketing the Midwest and Northeast, creating hazardous air quality conditions. This experimental @noaa.gov GSL decision support tool forecast shows where the smoke will travel over the next few hours.

Climate change isn't just getting "hot", it's weather getting weird. From huge rain downpours to flash droughts. From stronger storms to wildfire arriving in the "off-season". Getting up to speed on climate science fundamentals can help every person and organization better prepare and respond.

This article in Nature argues that the most severe economic threat from climate change is weather volatility caused by Earth system tipping points, rather than gradual temperature increases #GlobalCarbonFeeAndDividendPetition www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Larsen B Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula lost the size of Rhode Island in sea ice in the 2002. After, glaciers feeding the shelf flowed faster. When stable, ice shelves act as brakes. When lifted, glaciers accelerate & land ice melts into the sea. https://bit.ly/4vrVITL

Please consider submitting an abstract to our @agu.org 2026 session, “The Cryosphere is for All’! @cires.colorado.edu @ciresceee.bsky.social @cpom-uk.bsky.social #AGU26 #cryosphere 🧊 🧪

AGU Cryosphere Section@agucryo.bsky.social · 4w ago

The Cryosphere Is for All is accepting abstracts for the 2026 AGU Fall Meeting! agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/pr... It explores broadening participation in cryospheric sciences through inclusive fieldwork, open science, mentorship, engagement with Indigenous communities, and other community efforts.

AGU Annual Meeting, December 7–11, 2026 in San Francisco, CA. Session C036, The Cryosphere Is for All: Overcoming Barriers to Participation in the Cryospheric Sciences. Exploring how we can build a more inclusive cryosphere community by addressing barriers to participation and highlighting efforts that broaden engagement, collaboration, and access across the discipline.

A useful look from @zekehausfather.com at the science of the likely record-busting El Niño this year. As he says, "We are both figuratively and literally in uncharted waters." What does that mean? It means we should also be charting new waters in how we strategize, interact, act, and collaborate.

Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3w ago

With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

Tech company emissions are growing with the AI boom. This isn't good for climate. What does is mean to shift the *system* towards using AI for climate good and powering it with non-fossil energy? What examples do you have to share? What can change look like?

Lamar Johnson@imlamar.bsky.social · 3w ago

For ESG Dive: - Microsoft’s latest #ESG report found a 25% spike in emissions: www.esgdive.com/news/microso... - Google’s emissions are up 18% year-over-year and 81% higher than its 2019 baseline: www.esgdive.com/news/googles...

A lot of global climate conversation happens using averages, but our experience is of every spike and dip that is summed together to create those averages. So I don't find it surprising that we are experiencing "super-extremes". But it does bring further urgency to eyes-open planning and prep.

Covering Climate Now@coveringclimatenow.org · 4w ago

Scientists are shocked by “super-extremes” in climate impacts as the crisis accelerates. “We’re starting to see extremes on a spatial scale and a magnitude that’s really surprising,” said Tim Lenton of the University of Exeter. By @eroston.bsky.social and @hayleywarren.bsky.social:

I really like this because it also helps people become more familiar with how our climate future works. There's no science crystal ball, but we sure do know a lot and people can plan and act using that information. Insight instead of certainty.

CIRES@cires.colorado.edu · 4w ago

What if the future of weather forecasting isn't about finding one "right" answer? A new CIRES and @noaa.gov forecasting experiment found that explaining why a forecast is uncertain — and when confidence will improve — helps people make better decisions.

Climate.us is a great place to explore. So much was lost with the destruction of climate . gov and climate.us is making sure we have data, tools, and insights. 🙌
