@biella_riccardo @CNDS_Sweden @g_dibaldassarre @MauriMazzoleni @l_brandimarte @icisk_eu Just finished reading the paper. Thanks for this much needed and thought provoking perspective on climate services. Great work!

From our archives: “Stop blaming the climate for disasters,” says climatologist Friederike Otto.

Scientists are increasingly warning that blaming disasters solely on climate change lets policymakers off the hook for poor planning.

But if you are born today, chances are high that you will live on a much warmer planet and experience climate-related disruptions of all aspects of your life. The good (or maybe bad) news is that it's in our hands today to shape this future. Will it be 2, 3 or 4 degrees warmer?

@ProfMarkMaslin Fully endorse the message of your tweet but the data is not as clear as the graph suggests. I am currently working with the EM-DAT data. The increase is driven by improved reporting, population growth and economic growth too - not just climate change

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@WWAttribution Great animation. Would be great to have more of these for future attribution studies

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@liz_stephens Great that you actually dug into this. I was always curious about the evidence backing up claims like this. Too bad that it's not really convincing.

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@m_de_Brito @liso0928 @EGU_NHESS Very interesting finding. Looking forward to reading the paper

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@J_StoneUNDRR @UNDRR Fair point on the audience ;) I fully support the overall message but sometimes get frustrated that the climate conversation becomes too hazard focused

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@J_StoneUNDRR @UNDRR Looking at absolute global numbers is also misleading. As a share of total global population or global asset value, the numbers for the last two decades would actually be smaller than for the preceeding ones. At country or local level this can of course look very different. 3/3

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@J_StoneUNDRR @UNDRR The report is more nuanced. For example deaths in the last two decades were largely due to geophysical events, e.g. Indian Ocean Tsunami. The climate link might be there as you suggest but more indirect. 2/3

@RemoteLongitude I hoped for a cheaper and thus more inclusive ticket but it's still great progress. I was so excited when I bought it and am very curious to see how it will impact mobility and traffic in the coming months and years

@giulio_mattioli German government reduced subsidies for electric vehicles at the beginning of 2023. Lots of people got electric vehicles at the end of last year before the reduction and now there was a significant drop in demand: https://t.co/v0mi8dwEDh

@NathanB60857242 Thanks

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@NathanB60857242 Any recommended readings to learn more about it?

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@NathanB60857242 Democracy can be unsatisfactory but is by far the best system we have come up with so far

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@NathanB60857242 Nature and planet earth are worth preserving. Quite a conservative value but somehow not a conservative political position

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@NathanB60857242 @Leo_Glisic Lots of overlap between anarchism and libertarianism regarding the role of the state. Disagreement mostly around capitalism, private ownership, and focus on individual vs. collective

[Jonatha Ulrich @JCMUlrich]

@NathanB60857242 1) Abolish borders. 2) Ensure that workers receive the value they produce. 3) Free everyone from material needs and social constrictions based on gender, sexuality, race, physical ability etc... not sure why that's left-wing and not just common sense
