Today we have a double debunk:
1. A debunk of the idea that 67 dog breeds are being banned in Britain
2. A debunk of what the usual suspects are saying online (because they are so tediously predictable!🙄)

Mr Girling said: “Charities exist because people care about other people. The moment when audiences start questioning whether what they are seeing is real, the emotional connection that drives support is put at risk. "

Come March, the buds on the tree's begin to burst, this #dataviz shows the timing of bud burst for different tree species across the UK. The black lines show the timing in the Spring for the years 2000 to 2025 and the blue line is the average day for that species.

The greatest risk of AI in Higher Education isn’t cheating — it’s the erosion of learning itself
If we eliminate the friction that builds expertise, what’s left? Struggle isn’t inefficiency. Ignore this, and we’ll produce credentials while quietly dismantling HE

There is probably a distributional assumption (gaussian?) in some part of the method. For precipitation, they cube-root the anomalies to reduce skewness. I wonder how well that works? They also standardise by subtracting global mean (of what? raw obs anoms with uneven coverage?) which seems odd
I like that they also attempt precipitation. I'd like to see them focus on getting the land precip better rather than on estimating ocean precip from land obs, which is a different challenge. I'll have to delve into the SI for more on land precipitation.
From noise, all this

A helicopter drops water over a forest engulfed in thick smoke and flames, with the sky lit a dramatic orange from the fire. The scene depicts a vigorous effort to combat a wildfire over a dense wooded area.
New research from the UEA's @tyndallcentre.bsky.social has found that the most high-risk conditions for fires are increasingly happening across countries at the same time.

One topic covered in the interview is the US DoE's flawed climate working group report of 2025. Yesterday Ben and colleagues published this article, demonstrating the DoE's report was factually incorrect in its claims about stratospheric temperatures agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Well worth watching this interview from January of UEA's Ben Santer by @rtmcswee.carbonbrief.org for @carbonbrief.org. Heartfelt and moving, while also informative about Ben's views on climate action and climate science in the current geopolitical circumstances.

DOE climate report 'demonstrably incorrect', say scientists in new analysis
phys.org/news/2026-02...
Regarding a recent community science paper on 1.5°C of #globalwarming (doi.org/10.5194/essd...), the graph I like the most shows #seaice extent anomalies for different datasets and reconstructions. The most striking feature is HadISST2 disagreement with Antarctic reconstructions.
For more problems with the DoE's report see this comprehensive review put together by @andrewdessler.com and colleagues: doi.org/10.22541/ess...
Figure 1 from Santer et al. (2026) showing agreement between model predictions and observations of global temperature change across multiple stratospheric and tropospheric layers.
The DoE report was flawed because it only considered the lower stratosphere, and even there it made false claims about model-obs disagreement. Ben's figure shows agreement between model predictions and observations of global temperature change across multiple stratospheric and tropospheric layers.

This is a really informative post and I encourage readers to particularly read the worked example that Zeke provides. Seeing things “in action” always helps me understand it
As a rare climate scientist working in Silicon Valley, I've been drinking from the AI firehose a lot more than my peers. I thought it would be helpful to lay out my experiences of both the promise and pitfalls of using AI to accelerate scientific research:

A reminder to those at #OSM26, there's an oceanography feed where your stuff could be seen by thousands, even if you have only one follower. Join, pin, like, post, enjoy.
I am reliably informed that “virtual attendance” to OSM26 DOES NOT INCLUDE WATCHING THE TALKS, JUST DOWNLOADING THE SLIDES, and I would like to understand the decision making process for that. #agu #OSM26
It has occurred to me that the optimal level of marketing for my podcast Volts, upon which my family's entire income depends, might be higher than its current level of zero.
