Join our session: “ *Bridging Proxy Records and Climate Models: Toward Robust Paleoclimate Insights Across Timescales* ” We invite contributions tackling the mismatch between proxy records and climate model simulations—one of the key challenges in paleoclimate science.

Hi #speleothem folks, we are excited for the fourth episode of the ICCP speleothem lecture series. Dr. Alena Kimbrough will talk about environmental and climatic conditions during multiple glacial-interglacial cycles using stable isotopes and trace elements from Sulawesi stalagmites. 1/2

After the excellent talk from @paleopatt.bsky.social, March is the time for second episode of ICCP speleothem lecture series. Dr. Elizabeth Olson from Union College will share her insight about the South American hydroclimatic change over the last 450 kyr. E-see you on 14th March, 09:00 am KST

AMOC news can be confusing—is it slowing? Collapsing? Remaining stable? There’s studies that claim each! That’s why, instead of the latest headline, I always rely on what @rahmstorf.bsky.social has to say—he’s studied it for nearly 40 yrs and knows how each new study fits into the bigger picture.

The AMOC is slowing, it’s stable, it’s slowing, no, yes, …

There's been a bit of media whiplash on the issue of AMOC slowing lately - ranging from the AMOC being on the brink of collapse to it being more stable than previously thought. AMOC, of course, refers...

This is a misunderstanding of the 1.5C target, which was never based on a special significance of 1.5C with respect to tipping points, but rather a recognition that we were already experiencing dangerous and escalating climate change, and 2.0C allowed too much further escalation.

🚨 New alarming study🚨 'the 1.5 °C warming target [..] was set largely based on avoiding dangerous climate change" [..], its utility may deserve reconsideration' 'trends in the tail-widening of extreme heat distribution over the past 65 years [..] in some cases exceed the model spread entirely'
