Many thanks @jrockstrom @Weather_West @PIK_Climate @UniofOxford !

📣 Just out: our new study on the 'cold blob' in the Northern Atlantic. Is that due to ocean currents bringing less heat there, or due to more heat being lost through the sea surface?
Our data analysis strongly suggests it's due to #AMOC slowing.

Absolutely worth watching. In fact, it's a must.

Share so maybe, perhaps, we can steer people away from the ludicrous "weather manipulation", "weather war" conspiracy theories.

Your 'moment of doom' for today ~ must watch~

"Climate Extremes: Extreme Weather lays out the science behind today’s evolving extreme weather phenomena, helping viewers understand why such events are rapidly becoming more common around the world."

Our sequel to Climate Extremes, “Extreme Weather,” will premiere today at 17:00 CET on YouTube. Check out the film for a deep dive into the science of extreme weather events and current trends. Here’s the link: https://t.co/JUWK8rY7Lf

The heart breaking Texas flood is another example of a rain event, that statistically, happens once every 500-1000 years in this location. 15-20” of rain in 12-24 hours meets that threshold in this part of Texas.
This estimate is limited by our historical record. And these rare events happen in various localized places each year. It’s rare, but not uncommon in Texas to have these disastrous floods. 1/

Alibaba’s $BABA new CEO disagrees with US large tech’s insane R&D and CapEx spend.

If you’re read between the words, he is suggesting that much of those billions is wasted in an arms race which will most likely not deliver ROIs.

Instead of making the best possible model by spending ridiculous amounts of money, the focus should be on real world applications — solving the important issues and problems of humanity.

Amazing chart.

The amount of global renewal energy capacity each year keeps blows the long-term predictions out of the water.

Clairement c’est le scénario du cauchemar.⚠️Une nouvelle #Dana (goutte froide) devrait s’isoler dès mardi au large du Portugal, risquant de générer des pluies abondantes le long de la côte espagnole🇪🇸,en s’alimentant à profusion en humidité depuis la Méditerranée & Atlantique.

Even if we are (comparatively) lucky & manage to avoid triggering any of the major #Earth system tipping points discussed in this film, we're already dealing with consequences of "expanding atmospheric sponge"--which is increasing wet & dry extremes. [Link below] #ClimateChange
