CMIP6 trends over the last 13 years (red) and the 13 years before (black) (using the screened simulations), along with the estimate trends from FR26 over (roughly) the same periods.

Is there an acceleration in global warming expected in the CMIP6 climate models? yes! But not as easy to detect in the real world.

Exactly what I was thinking.

"I think the current crisis absolutely vindicates China's push to electrify everything, notably road transport... wouldn't be surprised we see China push to be even bigger & bolder to transition to clean energy & electrify everything" Erica Downes from Colombia CGEP on BBG TV just now.

I don’t believe that. The political fallout is going to be tremendous.

I wonder by the US hasn’t started producing from the strategic petroleum reserve. They have 400 million barrels (I think) so they could produce 10 million barrels a day for 40 days, which would reduce the price of oil. Maybe there’s a limit to how fast they can pump the oil out.

Chris Wright saying "I made 5 calls for 5 scientists"

IPCC: thousands of scientists, years of writing and multiple rounds of peer review.

The DOE Climate Working Group report: “I made five calls for five scientists.”

Dear DOE: That’s not how you assemble a climate assessment. That’s how you assemble a panel for cable news.

Tell me you know nothing about how science is done while explaining how to do science.

The influence of internal variability on Earth's energy balance framework and implications for estimating climate sensitivity Abstract. Our climate is constrained by the balance between solar energy absorbed by the Earth and terrestrial energy radiated to space. This energy balance has been widely used to infer equilibrium c...

"For reasons I don’t understand, instrumental global temperature records don’t constrain ECS very tightly.”

The pattern of warming of the surface causes the inferred climate sensitivity to depart from the equilibrium climate sensitivity.

Congratulations, Matt! Continue making us proud.

The war in Iran shows us another cost of our fossil-fuel economy our reliance on fossil fuels makes us less safe

As I wrote yesterday, these are actually linked. As we spend less on fossil fuels, we can also spend less on national defense. This is yet another subsidy for fossil fuels.

When will clean energy spending exceed military spending? Why I may have been a tad premature in my 2026 prediction.

On The Climate Brink, @hausfath.bsky.social writes about the trends of spending on clean energy vs. national defense:

Nice interview with @andymiller24.bsky.social about the endangerment findings. He was a bit more upbeat than I would have been, but I suppose it's good to look on the bright side.

@andrewdessler.com on huge govt subsidies for #FossilFuels. US spends over $81bn every yr to protect oil supply🛢! Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) calculates about 1/5 of US Dept of Defense base budget exists at least partly to keep oil flowing via vulnerable choke points like #StraitOfHormuz

The war in Iran shows us another cost of our fossil-fuel economy our reliance on fossil fuels makes us less safe

On The Climate Brink, my latest post is on what the war in Iran tells us about the hidden costs of fossil fuels

Next time someone asks you to sum up MAGA in 30 seconds or less, show them this clip of Andrew Tate explaining why he doesn't read books.

Trump’s Iran conflict cuts the world off from a crucial energy source Liquified natural gas from Qatar was a safe energy bet for countries across Europe and Asia. Now they face an energy crisis. Qatar shut down production of liquefied natural gas this week at a plant in Doha after Iranian attacks targeting energy installations. Countries across Europe and Asia are facing a potential energy crisis after an Iranian drone strike shut down Qatar’s exports of liquefied natural gas this week, cutting off nations from India to Italy from a crucial energy source and potentially increasing costs for key industries in the United States.

"The [DOE Climate Working Group] report is survived by grieving former members of the Climate Working Group, who remain defiant. They have vowed to respond to the scientific criticisms of their report but have so far done nothing." www.theclimatebrink.com/p/obituary-t...

Great article from 2008 by @revkin.bsky.social about the meeting that year. This summed it up perfectly: out of more than 500 attendees, only 19 were "scientists" (and I suspect that was an overestimate).
