The volatile substance will be driven across the CERN campus in trucks to different facilities, giving scientists greater opportunities to study it.... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Melbourne Victoria set a new November record high dew point this morning going above the old record of 20.7C. High dew points are largely set by oceans temperatures which are currently record warm. More at www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV...
Excellent Kate Dooley piece on why it's bad news that #COP29 approved such dangerously weak rules for carbon offsetting between country climate targets:

🧵 @bopplaurent.bsky.social and I were asked, "Should we think of the ocean as a climate solution?", our immediate reaction was that it's already one. Follow on to see why.
We mainly talk about marine CO₂ removal (mCDR), but some of the intro stuff about the ocean should interest everyone. 🌊1/n
Stoked to get an ARC #DP25 grant with Madi Rosevear and @profmattengland.bsky.social to include ice shelf cavities into #COSIMA model configs, and to understand processes controlling heat delivery to Antarctica’s ice shelves. We'll be looking for a postdoc, so get in touch if you're keen!
Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it

'Global emergence of regional heatwave hotspots outpaces climate model simulations'
our new paper in @pnas.org with S. Bartusek, R. Seager. J. Schellnhuber and M. Ting investigating the tail behaviour of extreme heatwave trends.

Amazing fossil alert.
Jurassic salamander from China. You can see the soft tissue of the eye, gills, limbs, even the folds of its tail. And its last meal its stomach…

The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224. Andromeda has a D₂₅ isophotal diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs and is approximately 765 kpc from Earth.

Fun fact: If you ever swallow a razor blade, don’t panic. Acids are ranked on a scale from 0 to 14—the lower the pH level, the stronger the acid. Human stomach acid is typically 1.0 to 2.0, meaning that it has an incredibly strong pH.
