Senior scientist at @metoffice (UK) looking at the effects of #aerosols on #climate - all views are my own and not of my employer etc

@TreacherousBuzz Yes I remember this! I failed my first interview at the @metoffice (mostly out of anxiety). Hope you're all well @TreacherousBuzz

The first cloud resolving simulation of cirrus cloud thinning suggests that not only would it thin cirrus but that it would also affect mixed-phase clouds producing a larger cooling effect than anticipated https://t.co/gUTfe3WxGZ

This.

[Andrew Dessler @AndrewDessler]

Lots of people talking about air capture of CO2. Even Prez candidates. It's a great idea, but it takes a lot of energy. To understand this, let's work out the thermodynamics. [note: nerd twitter thread] 1/

@geoengineering1 Thanks Andrew, not able to get there I'm afraid

[Dr Caroline Clason @Caroline_Clason]

Dear @BBCNews @davidshukmanbbc, can we please stop illustrating climate warming in the UK with pictures of people enjoying themselves on the beach? How about pictures of scorched pasture, moorland fires, dead livestock...? This isn't the way to get the public behind real change.

[Global Systems Institute @GSI_Exeter]

@helenczerski kicks off the panel discussion. In any system change there are winners and losers. We need to acknowledge and be upfront about these. What are the risks and benefits of Gaia 2.0? #lovelock100 @UniofExeter @UniofExeterNews #Gaia

@simon_sat @MarinaKorProud Many congrats Simon!

It's looking likely that we could reach 39°C somewhere in southern and eastern England on Thursday. The hottest temperature ever recorded in the UK is 38.5°C 🌡️

There is currently a 60% chance we could break this on Thursday, depending on the amount of cloud

[James Mollard @DrMollyman]

Plenty of lightning and storm watching tobe done last night! Resisted the temptation to get up at 1am and go for a drive storm chasing though! #UKHeatwave #thunderstorm #ukweather

The CO analysis on 21 July from @CopernicusECMWF Atmosphere Monitoring Service @ECMWF and CO data from #TROPOMI #Sentinel5P show high values from fires in #KrasnoyarskKrai #Russia and in #Canada. The values really stand out compared to the CO climatology from the CAMS reanalysis

"The first time a temperature warmer than 20C has been measured north of 80° on the planet." https://t.co/qeV6CKXh4y

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

We re-analyzed 38 studies that questioned whether climate is changing and/or humans are responsible, and found an error in each that, when corrected, brought them in line with the scientific consensus. Our study's been downloaded >100k times now!

“Nature Scientific Reports appears to have published a paper that makes a claim about the Earth’s orbit around the Sun that violates some pretty basic orbital dynamics and that then uses this to suggest that most of our warming is natural.”

After working through the weekend, @MetOfficeww, @DFID_UK + @beisgovuk are still hard at work at the #ADClimateMeeting - a crucial precursor to the Secretary General’s Climate Action Summit in September. Proud to have the UK co-leading on Resilience + Adaptation 🌍

Q. How many 93-year-olds can silence a crowd of 50,000 people seventy years younger?

A. Just the one.
