NEW PAPER: In a new paper, jointly published in @agu.org Earth's Future & @ametsoc.org BAMS, and co-led by Melissa Kenney, @costasamaras.com and me, 175 authors outline priorities to guide the future of scientific assessments of climate change in the United States. 🧵

Research Priorities for Robust Climate Assessments in the United States

A network of climate assessments plays a critical role in synthesizing the state of science to support evidence-based decision-making To support future U.S. and sub-national climate assessments, ...

Our new @NatureComms paper reveals a widespread midday depression in ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET) globally. ET midday depression indicates plant water stress, helping us better understand how plants use water during drought & heatwaves. Led by Jingyi Bu. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

NASA’s ECOSTRESS satellite reveals widespread midday depression in ecosystem evapotranspiration - Nature Communications

Plants often reduce water use around midday when heat and dry air increase water stress. Using ECOSTRESS satellite data and machine learning, the study shows that this midday depression of evapotransp...

"It is not the the reader or viewer’s job to supply the causal context an article leaves out. To place media literacy as the solution would concede to the idea that reporting will not improve. It is editors & correspondents who have the capacity to responsibly tell the #climate story..."

Wildfires: why media coverage doesn’t always make the climate connection

A wildfire can be explained by today’s barbecue, yesterday’s wind direction, a dry spring, four decades of land use change, or a century of emissions.

One week ago, it was 100 degrees. The next day, and the four days after that, smoke was at dangerous levels. Yesterday, we had torrential rain, hail, and tornado warnings. Today, it's in the mid-50s... and we have a wind chill. That's a lot of drama in seven or eight days

New paper out in @pnas.org: this year’s western U.S. snow conditions were pretty dismal, but to what extent was this snow drought due to climate change?  Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (with Marianne Cowherd, Stefan Rahimi, Yuhong Ye) Thread:👇

As of July 19th update, the Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature is now more than 3.7 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 mean. With the warming just getting started, this El Nino is still in charted territory, but just barely.

Absolutely insane winter heat wave in ARGENTINA. In the coldest month of the year, the city of Salta had its HOTTEST NIGHT IN HISTORY for any month, beating the record of summer hottest month by 4C! This is one of the most incredible and anomalous events in world climatic history

Most UK media reports on June heatwave failed to mention climate crisis. Analysis of nearly 2,500 articles finds almost three-quarters made no reference to global heating. NASA map below shows burnt or still burning areas

Just did an interview for TRT World on Europe's worst heatwave on record. The heat has killed thousands. We've crossing 1.5°C, & there's no dropping back below. This is the baseline now. We must cut emissions far faster, & protect people from the heat already here. Both, together. Part 1:

Climate change is of course a major driving force behind these deaths, but contributing is a lack of an adequate system to care for the most vulnerable, who tend to be socially isolated. This autopsy of heat deaths in Chicago is instructive. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...
