Yes water cooling for eg work places increasingly common.
Heat pumps are air conditioning (reverse cycle :-) Every one shutters their apartments in daytime, in addition to fans. Many buildings have passive cooling systems/pumped water systems (Swiss cities are often beside lakes and rivers). We need to think long term about efficient cooling systems.
Agreed. And plenty of lived experience of Geneva heat. But concerned that the jump is made to air con as ‘the solution’ to cooling without considering other less energy intensive options. Also air con is not allowed in Switzerland….
What about ceiling fans? They worked well for me in Geneva.

Great to see #TuringInstitute #ChiefScientist Mark Girolami visiting the @metoffice.bsky.social to discuss our growing collaboration in applying data sciences to weather and climate prediction #Turing2.0
Loving the views and vibe at the @metoffice.bsky.social - it feels like a building where important things are happening. It’s interesting how architecture can influence and inspire how we work…!
This one better take off

That should say Gernot! Pre coffee here..
Love it! Thank you Germot. I hadn’t figured out how to make starter packs yet :-)
Trevor McDougall (UNSW), Mark Girolami (Turing) and Albert Fischer (now WMO) have them - but haven’t seen them in Bluesky yet!
Thinking we need a scientists who Brompton list @davidho.bsky.social @dmarshallocean.bsky.social @helenczerski.bsky.social - it would be an illustrious list I think…
Cover your bike but not your face..?
Or considering the requirements of the non-male half of the population when designing things ;-)
Doubt it. Rarely queues at Male toilets! … Worth reading carolinecriadoperez.com/book/invisib...
Thank you Mike! Hope we will still have opportunities to collaborate:-)
Today makes my last day at the @nocnews.bsky.social - after a bit of a rest, onwards to new challenges. I will continue to be a fierce friend of the Ocean!
Great opportunity to drive the scientific vision for the UK’s Future Marine Research Infrastructure! Looking for a new Lead Scientist to join the team. Could it be you? #FMRI #transformation #integration #collaboration
Great to be at #IOC-UNESCO in Paris for the Ocean Prediction 2024 symposium! Looking forward to a mind expanding week and fun side chats #OP24 #OceanDecade 🌊
Great opportunities to join the dynamic #FMRI team and drive #Transformation of the UK's Future Marine Research Infrastructure. #LeadScientist #TechnicalLead #CommsManager fmri.ac.uk/recruit
Wish I had known this before deleting my twitter account!
It’s also alarming that we don’t have an internationally agreed requirements driven (surface) ocean carbon implementation plan to fund against …
