We have a new preprint out about the impacts a transition to equatorial superrotation would have on Earth's climate, e.g. in terms of surface temperature and water cycle. First PhD paper of Tim Marino, with @drmichaelbyrne.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2504.06909

🗻Climate change is increasing the risk of ice-rock avalanches in the Himalaya while preparedness and recognition remain limited, according to reassessment of the 2021 Chamoli disaster and lessons from the Blatten near-miss.

Fig. 3: Critical temperature thresholds for Antarctic ice basins. Bottom panel: burning embers show—for each of the 18 Antarctic ice basins—the percentage of long-term (equilibrium) sea-level relevant ice volume loss compared with the respective initial ice volume, at different levels of global warming (in °C above pre-industrial temperature levels, interpolated between full degrees). White diamonds mark the one-degree temperature interval of the strongest decline (ice loss per degree of warming, see also Fig. 2). In some basins, two critical temperatures yielding peak volume loss are found—this can be interpreted as the respective basin having two tipping points. Top panel: sea-level potential for each basin, given by the initial modelled sea-level relevant ice volume in metres sea-level equivalent.

"A first threshold, potentially as low as 1–2 °C above pre-industrial levels, triggers the long-term collapse of ~40% of marine ice volume in West Antarctica"
Anthropogenic activities are increasing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. There is mounting experimental evidence that lifetime exposure to these increasing atmospheric CO2 levels can negatively impact the normal physiology of organisms.
“I focus on a pair of climate fictions set around bodies of water: A. S. Byatt's “Sea Story” (2013) and Vajra Chandrasekera's “Half-Eaten Cities” (2018).” I'm continually delighted by how far this one short story of mine has reached. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Same can be said for transport:
How much better (safe, accessible, equitable, resource efficient, low-carbon, healthy, …) could the transport system be if women had been equally involved in planning and investment decisions?

Two questions for International Women's Day: First, how much better would our houses be if women had been equally present in the planning, designing, building, buying and maintenance of buildings in the last century? Women and men feel temperature differently (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)
Our latest article is now out in Communications Earth & Environment titled “Ice-rock avalanches in a warming Himalaya indicate pathways toward effective preparedness.”

We are on a trajectory toward Hothouse Earth—conditions humans cannot survive—driven by amplifying feedbacks and weakening carbon sinks. We still have choices, but we need rapid cooling, deep emission cuts, and carbon removal now, not in 20 years. @paulhbeckwith.bsky.social youtu.be/_TxwEkK__cg

AI data centers are booming—burning more energy, water, and money while driving up emissions. If AI is here to stay, we must change the economics so it helps cool the climate instead of heating it. @paulhbeckwith.bsky.social @herbsimmens.bsky.social @heidi-br.bsky.social youtu.be/1elHsKSRqwU
The rate of global warming has ⚠️nearly doubled⚠️ since 2015. Earth is heating at around 0.35°C per decade.
This is acceleration.
Fossil fuels are pushing the planet beyond safe limits.
The science is clear.
Where is the emergency response?

UPDATE: The likelihood that humans will go extinct by 2100 is 80%.
"Under current trends, we hit 3°C within 25 years - meaning that avoiding extinction, not just collapse, would require population and consumption reduction beginning immediately, not post-2050"
