Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found. 👇👇👇🧵 https://t.co/4w54V5Qwg1

@BarackObama @NASA Incredible mission — but I’m far more concerned about addressing Earth’s climate future. We are cooking our planet in a blanket of burnt fossil fuel gases that has no end in sight. History won’t celebrate the space race nearly as much as it laments our deep climate failings.

Breaking: A new review paper of the tipping point risk of the Atlantic ocean circulation known as #AMOC has been published. 🌊
The evidence has broadened over the last years that the present #AMOC is in a multi-stable regime, posing a risk of tipping 😨.

@amittalwalkar Met him at an airport once and told him he was everyone’s favourite commentator. He was so humble about the praise! Brought the game to life like no other! Channel 9 always brought him on for the closing stages of a tight match. They knew what the fans wanted.

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

The grid’s going green! And look how much has changed in only 10 years.

October saw renewables supply a record 51% of Australia’s main energy grid 😎

We’re heading in the right direction, but we’ve still got to step up the pace to cut pollution and to cut costs.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

Australia’s medical and scientific research sectors save lives and are vital to our economy. The government has to step up and lean in to their potential.

It’s small-minded and short-sighted to force them to wither on the vine, when we have money put aside for this purpose in the Future Fund.

大変名誉なことに、招待講演者にしていただきました。

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The more than 1000 job losses at CSIRO reflect a long pattern of underfunding by govt, who have treated science as optional.

We need research to build resilience and future industries.

Reversing the slide in national research investment has to start now.

🌊 What is the Meridional Overturning Circulation
and why is it important?

The Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) – critical for transporting heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients across the globe – is weakening under climate change.

@jonburkeUK @theoztrucker Yessss! @theoztrucker — please repeat your experiment but this time add the ice to the glass of water and see the water level rise immediately. You’ve just replicated a chunk of land ice entering the ocean and raising sea levels. Basic physics.

[Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS) @AntarcticSciAus]

🧊 New research reveals an overlooked Antarctic process could skew sea level rise projections.

☀️ A team led by Dr Fabio Boeira Dias (ACEAS/UNSW) found East Antarctic ice shelves melt in summer bursts as sea ice retreats and warm water flows underneath.
