Check out the extent of ocean warmth over the last three months... The likelihood of experiencing these anomalously warm temperatures has been increased by human-caused climate change. And this has immense impacts on society and our environment. Data from www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...

The parallel between this paper and England et al. 2014 (doi.org/10.1038/ncli...) is a good reminder that part of the Pacific SST trend pattern discussion is similar to that which occurred during the “global-warming hiatus”. However, while the hiatus global warming trends have been reconciled...

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Gonna keep posting about this. Dismantling NCAR is stupid and dangerous; doing it as payback to the governor of Colorado is idiotic.

Trump admin targets Boulder-based National Center for Atmospheric Research for dismantling

The Trump administration is seeking to dismantle the Boulder-based National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

denver7.com

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

agu.quorum.us

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Friends at NCAR, we're with you. @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is a trailblazer in community modelling driven not by idealogy, but by open science. We share all our code, thoughts, ideas. These can't be shut down. We'll fight and find every mechanism to support the ongoing CESM community.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

📢Submit to our EGU session!📢 We are organizing a session at EGU 2026 in Vienna, with a focus on climate sensitivity, radiative feedbacks and the pattern effect! If you work on anything related to climate sensitivity, we'd love to have you! 🥳🥳🥳 Submit soon! :)

This is a bit technical, but I'm updating my table of TCR/ECS values for CMIP6 models, and I need to find info on these models: "AWI-ESM-1-1-LR", "CAS-ESM2-0", "CMCC-CM2-HR4", "E3SM-1-1", "E3SM-1-1-ECA", "EC-Earth3-Veg-LR" , "ICON-ESM-LR". Anyone? thx!

For years, I've long said that climate.gov's team of remarkable communicators (& their amazing blogs, which were accessible but did not "dumb down" the science!) was NOAA's best (& most cost effective!) public-facing extreme #weather / #climate education effort to date. This will be a huge loss.

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

Reminder: call for abstracts for the CMIP Community Workshops. Latest developments in models & approaches, reflections on CMIP6, explorations on CMIP7, etc. In particular for those related to climate emulators, I encourage you to check the session 29. All info here: wcrp-cmip.org/event/cmip26/
