I want to see Pulp cover Olivia Rodrigo's Vampire

So, your forecasts are sharp and reliable, but are they valuable? Our new EMS paper on RUVPY is out - reference implementation of RUV. Honest assessment needs to be tailored to the specific decision. RUV is general enough to model almost any context. Go forth and tinker. doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

The flowerpot hats are the low-res pixelated version you got when you drew normal hats on computers in the 80s, but in real-life. Was that intentional or is my brain playing tricks? #devo #genius

The coming and going of air masses and jet streams over Australia and New Zealand during winter 2025.

Modern water treatment may be the most important life-saving invention of the human race. If these people forgo this, that's on them (but also their vulnerable children), but know what the outcomes can be: bacteria, parasites, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and other horrible, preventable illnesses.

Finally, a story about #water on Mars that doesn't refer to #groundwater as an "underground ocean". Interesting work. www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/water-on-mar...

Thanks for all your efforts on The Last Drop @timsmedley.bsky.social. It's a fantastic overview of the water emergency and even as a hydrologist I really learnt a lot. Anything you would change in the book following your recent work on degrowth?

Wow I love supercomputers! Just finished a run in 4 hours that would have taken 18 days on my laptop. We have come a long way since these were a thing 💾

Loving all the graphic abstracts these days, but what do you all use to make them? My attempt looks pretty crap

Australia's warmest spring since national records began in 1910, 2.08 °C above the 1961–1990 average

David Gooding@lostintassie.bsky.social · 2y ago

The Bureau's National climate summary for Spring was released today - and was the warmest on record. www.bom.gov.au/climate/curr...

#Custard were on fire last night at The Baso in Canberra, seemed to be enjoying it as much as we all were. You nailed that cow bell Sam!

I could watch Gurdeep all day

The way we talk affects how we see the world. When we use positive words and stay optimistic, we start to notice more good things around us. It's like wearing happy glasses - they help us see the bright side of life and appreciate the simple joys each day brings.

Just unfollowed 502 accounts, please dont take it personally. I got a bit excited clicking on all those starter packs and my feed stopped reflected what I wanted it to be about. Clicking is a bit of a drag so I wrote a little program to talk to the API and do it for me, thanks @bsky.app!

Success! Actually avoided this place for a day and got some real work done

One of my favourite data discoveries this year: Google's mind-blowing ARCO-ERA5 dataset: hourly data for ~300 climate variables, available globally from 1940! 🤯 Loadable with a single line of Python code from a single cloud-friendly Zarr file! Below: a month of wind waves + swell: 🌊

That's crazy

An ERA5 animation showing the unprecedented November 2024 Typhoon outbreak in the Western Pacific Ocean. Just incredible.

If your home/livelihood are ever more frequently wrecked or threatened by severe flooding, and you've been wondering why, this graphic (plus climate breakdown) tells you all you need to know.

I imagine a lot more would get done if leadership at #COP29 looked like this.

Especially if you live in a place where active travel is encouraged (and funded) like #Canberra

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Genuine question, is @calnewport.bsky.social really Cal? Digital minimalism and all that

So #clojure folk, what is the status now of creating binaries? I know it's somewhat a dumb thing to do but it would make sharing CLI tools with colleagues easier

BlueSky is so much easier than writing my paper! Looking forward to reading about the dip in global research output that happened around the end of 2024 Thanks @bsky.app

This is a really compelling figure to demonstrate climate change attribution. Wonder if anyone has done something similar for floods?

Climate Central@climatecentral.org · 2y ago

Ocean temperatures made hotter by human-caused climate change are fueling more intense Atlantic hurricanes. A NEW Climate Central study: climate change increased the intensity for most 2019-2023 hurricanes & all (so far) in 2024. Read the study & learn more: climatecentral.org/report/2024-...

Ditto. Maori justice has progressed so much since I was a kiwi kid in the 80s. The recent regression really sucks but this haka is powerful

Tim Smedley@timsmedley.bsky.social · 2y ago

This just made me cry. Fuck. Solidarity with the Māori and the hīkoi march.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Community test - can someone give me a positive climate factoid to share with the teenagers I'm teaching today, let's make them a little more hopeful about their future

This was a great talk, #Clojure for science has come a looonng way since I used it in 2017. The Scicloj stack looks solid

Daniel Slutsky@daslu.bsky.social · 2y ago

Thomas Clark's recent talk at #clojureconj is a fantastic overview of recent developments in the #Clojure stack for #scientific computing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D5d...

The reef restoration efforts are clever but can they really work at scale?

Terry Hughes@profterryhughes.bsky.social · 2y ago

Qantas has no credible plans for reducing its emissions. Instead, they hope to restore approximately one-millionth of the Great Barrier Reef - while helping to wreck the rest.

Super important work, thanks @waterpotential.bsky.social. It's really starting to feel like the ambient technology and science is at a point where short-range ecological forecasting and decision support is becoming operationally feasible.

Dr. Ryan E. Emanuel@waterpotential.bsky.social · 2y ago

I am honored to be part of a group of scientists calling for investments in ecological forecasting to mitigate climate change. A new perspective in Nature Climate Change explains why this work matters right now. 🌏 🧪 Press release: ecoforecast.org/ncc2024/ Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
