Astonishing to see the so-called "expert review" function of Grammarly exploiting my name for profit without any permission.
Thank you @mathildesaliou.com for pointing this out :

I understand that the function has been shut down after massive backlash and lawsuits.

Why does this matter? El Niño adds to climate change, shifting temperature + rainfall patterns around the world. That in turn affects wildfire, flood and drought risk; food, water, and health; and can even double the risk of civil conflict in tropical regions (Source: www.nature.com/articles/nat...)

"My fellow scientists, we have an assignment: we must take collective action to hold Congress and this administration accountable. It is time to channel that evidence-based outrage into action,” said @gretchentg.bsky.social at Saturday’s @standupforscience.bsky.social rally in DC. #StandUpForScience
The climate impacts of fossil fuel CO₂ will last longer than nuclear waste.

Yesterday, a 110MW off-grid AI data center outside of Dublin was switched on - and it's powered entirely by fossil fuels. Developers went with natural gas engines (specifically RICE) to bypass the grid connection queue. They claim the engines "could" be switched to HVO, and that the project will attempt to connect to the grid "when possible". What does this mean for Ireland's climate goals? According to my estimates, this single project will increase the entire country's annual GHG emissions by ~1%. Assumptions: - The project seems to be using Rolls Royce (mtu) 4000 Series RICE which have an electrical efficiency of 44% https://lnkd.in/eRX4PRuf - Modifying the NREL life cycle gas emissions factor with this efficiency yields 656.75 gCO2e/kWh https://lnkd.in/gfgs2X6P - Assuming a 90% capacity factor because AI hyperscale data centers run near 24/7 to recoup massive GPU costs - Ireland’s 2024 GHG emissions = 53.8 million tCO2e https://lnkd.in/ejjRgRpE hashtag#DataCenters hashtag#Sustainability hashtag#ArtificialIntelligence

Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1%
Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠

I've updated the Climate Dashboard to use the new 11-model ENSO multi-model mean to help predict 2026 temperatures.
It caused the 2026 estimate to jump from 1.45C to 1.51C, reflecting the much higher likelihood of a strong El Nino developing: dashboard.theclimate...
On the first day of the attacks on Iran, a school in Iran was bombed, killing more than 175. Nobody knows for sure what happened, and nobody wants to take responsibility.
Gary Marcus @garymarcus.bsky.social thinks there's a "good chance" that the incident stems from the use of AI.
From yesterday's 84°F and balmy to today's 30°F and snowy, DC weather is really putting the CHANGE in climate change. 😩
Environmental crisis made worse by the current war.
NOAA issues an El Niño Watch, indicating conditions are favorable for it to develop during the next 6 months. More details (updated story), including info on its potential far-ranging impacts and intensity: www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/w...

March Madness in the Northeast! From record heat yesterday, to snow and cold today! Florida snowbirds no doubt extending their stay 😂
Knowing the real impact of companies on people & nature:👍
Weakening reporting rules and allowing greenwashing:👎
The EU is trying to weaken its own sustainability rules, so we teamed up with 29 other orgs to demand strong & effective EU Sustainability Reporting Standards!

Extreme #Hitze trifft schon eine von drei Personen Personen weltweit. Auch junge, gesunde Menschen in vielen Regionen haben Schwierigkeiten, normale körperliche Tätigkeiten auszuführen.
As @frediotto.bsky.social puts it: "Each year that we delay acting with the urgency required loads the dice further in favour of more weather extremes that will take lives and destroy livelihoods." (4/4)
Read the full study here: www.worldweatherattribution.org/unplanned-ur...
Graph showing accumulated rainfall in Juiz de Fora, Brazil in the month of February since 1961. It shows 2026 as by far the wettest on record.
New study: Intense rainfall - like the deluge behind Brazil’s recent fatal landslides - will intensify as the planet continues to warm.
Over 70 were killed in the state of Minas Gerais in late February with Juiz de Fora - the worst impacted city - seeing its wettest month on record. 🧵 1/4
Timeseries of February rainfall in Juiz de Fora, highlighting the exceptionally high rain in 2026 of 752 mm, the second highest record in 1979 was only just above 400 mm.
In a rapidly warming world, landslides in high-risk areas are happening sooner rather than later. Making it paramount to reduce exposure & stop the rapid warming. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study on Juiz de Fora landslides www.worldweatherattribution.org/unplanned-ur...

February 2026 globally,according to NOAA was the 5th warmest on record, agreeing with the Copernicus ranking.
Africa stood as having its 2nd hottest February on records,while Tajikistan was the country with the most positive anomaly in the world.

Richtig so. Da hilft kein Händeringen: der ländliche Raum war im Norden seit jeher der Raum der Reaktion. In Städten dagegen wurden andere, neue Lebensweisen möglich...
die Fachwelt diskutiert in der Tat nur noch über das Ausmaß dieser unbestrittenen Beschleunigung: von knapp +0,2 K pro Jahrzehnt auf ca. +0,3 K oder +0,35 K : ist in jedem Fall dramatisch
Globale Erhitzung nimmt beschleunigt zu.

As always INDONESIA breaks its records of every day.
The Minimum of 25.4C at Poso is a record of March hottest night in history.
Not a single day since early 2023 has passed without breaking records in Indonesia.
If you are wondering about the environmental impact of bottom trawling, here's some more context:
At court in The Hague for the hearing of our case against the Dutch govt: they are allowing destructive bottom trawling in the Dogger Bank marine protected area - wreaking havoc on the ecosystem.
We're taking action - because Protected must mean Protected.
Ruling expected in six weeks - stay tuned
