@ed_hawkins Not a fan of extra models. Adds further to the computational overhead for users of model output for no obvious benefit. For me (Australian region projections) even the step from CMIP3 to CMIP5 was a lot of work for not a lot of scientific reward. Go with the observations.

@RichardEvans36 Are you speaking anywhere while in Australia? I would love to attend if I could.

Well worth a read

Beautifully written article on the role of trees and the oxygen we breath; and it is not what you think. Great piece of science communication. https://t.co/yrdA7ooBNv

@Martin_Flanagan Thanks. I should have followed long ago, because I love James' books

@CubaRaglanGuy Fascinating. Also a perfect indication of how changing behaviour is the pathway to changed beliefs

@ozhillbilly Oh no

At the Nobel prize museum in Stockholm. Very interesting, but my 1/400th of the 2007 peace prize is strangely unrecognised :)

@Pompeiana79 @OUPAcademic Had a 'more normal' tour of Pompeii today. I am done now (at least for a year or two!)

[penny whetton @penhelen]

@Pompeiana79 @OUPAcademic Then the heat got too much for me. But I may go in again tomorrow

[penny whetton @penhelen]

@Pompeiana79 @OUPAcademic It was most fun following the muleteer's route! It was also nice having a new angle on a site I know and love so much.

@HawkeJon @pompei79 @pompeii_sites @PompeiNecropoli @PompeiiApp @BloggingPompeii After wonderful Stabiae yesterday day, my 'traffic systems' tour of Pompeii has begun! (Last trip Mary Beard's book was my guide). Let's see how long I last in the heat, but I have tomorrow as well. @Pompeiana79

[penny whetton @penhelen]

@HawkeJon @pompei79 @pompeii_sites @PompeiNecropoli @PompeiiApp @BloggingPompeii I will be at Pompeii in two weeks and excited to be taking this book

Can't recommend #DomusTransitoria highly enough. The VR is mind blowing. Highlight of my time in Rome so far

So, yesterday the Government, with its new Emissions Reduction Minister, was due to release our quarterly greenhouse gas data.

They didn't. It seems like a small thing. It's not, even if it goes unpunished.

@climatedogs @dburner996 @StevenCrimp I wonder if we are rather simply seeing the effect of very dry soil

[penny whetton @penhelen]

@CubaRaglanGuy Shocking

[penny whetton @penhelen]

@Pompeiana79 Now that is handy! Thanks so much :)
