For those enjoying persistent heat across NZ in recent weeks, remember that others can be susceptible to unfamiliar temps for many reasons (pregnant women, young kids, elderly folks, those with medical conditions). Keep an eye out for those at risk - summers will only get hotter.
"Are you afraid of dying in an extreme weather event caused by climate change?" is the dumbest election debate question I've ever heard. Sort it out @1NewsNZ. It's terrible framing, bordering on misinformation, and the public is left with zero insights on CC policies. Yet again.
The median person in different parts of the world have had quite similar experiences of relative warming to date. Reason being that lower (higher) income countries experience faster (slower) emergence but also have much younger (older) populations. The future will be very unfair

A tiny glimpse into a fascinating and genuine debate among researchers , who all want the same thing - but differ on how to communicate it to an already stressed public. stuff.co.nz/environment/cl…
Animated map showing long-duration weather stations setting daily, monthly, and all-time record highs and lows in 2022. Weather variations continue to routinely set both new highs and lows, but as global warming progresses new highs have become much more common than new lows.
The temperature categories for the AR6 scenarios database was based on a MAGICC. If FaIR is used instead, there are twice as many 1.5°C scenarios (with no/low overshoot), a later net zero CO₂ year, & smaller reductions in 2030 CO₂ emissions. The climate model matters! 1/
Not sure the significance of this number has been fully conveyed. $890 million (and counting) in just two months, already more than double the losses for all of 2022 (itself a record). 2004 Manawatu and 1984 Southland floods each reached ~$150 million. icnz.org.nz/industry/media…

The Academy has awarded Dr Andrew King (@UniMelb) the Anton Hales Medal for his contributions to climate science. The medal underscores the vital role of Earth scientists and their impact on understanding our planet’s dynamics and natural processes.
I'm joining the University of Melbourne next February as a McKenzie Fellow and Lecturer in Physical Geography! More paleo sea level research to do in Australia and further afield!
I feel very honoured to have been awarded the Priestley Medal. Congratulations to all the other winners too!

@harrinluke Quite the epic achievement and undertaking! Congratulations and best of luck putting a great team together! 🥳💪🏼
@harrinluke Excellent!!!! Congratulations
@harrinluke Congratulations Luke! Very well deserved!
Enjoyed chatting to @GeorgeFDriver for this article. Agree that disagreements about climate targets are as much about norms as they are about science. I take a mainstream approach towards national contributions towards global public goods. 1/ northandsouth.co.nz/2023/10/16/new…

I got a prize!! 🌻💐💃

Remember: whatever small part of the planet you inhabit, it is not representative of the whole globe. 🟥 = warmer than 1981-2010 average 🟦 = cooler than 1981-2010 average Data: ERA5
Record-shattering heat in Spain (+3.4°C margin) Even after having seen many records being smashed in the last few years, each record is remarkable. The chance of breaking records should be low and shattering them much lower. Such margins make adaptation to heat very challenging.
BREAKING: Valencia 🇪🇸 has just scorched its previous heat record by a shocking +3.4°C The new provisional record stands at 46.8°C (116.2°F). This is a huge record-break.
1/ I don't think this paper is quite the revolution that this twitter thread claims. There's been a lot of methodological back and forth over the last several years. The paper adds a nice example, but I don't think it quite supports the breadth of the claims in the X thread.
I have a paper out today highlighting an error in the climate impacts literature that leads to major exaggerations of the influence of climate change on extreme weather impacts. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
@carlo_tuitter @ed_hawkins @ClimateOfGavin @ClimateVikki @CopernicusECMWF @OceanTerra I think operationalising the extremeness of events (relative to the mean state and variability of the region) is an important first step before the attribution. The former helps prepare, and reduce risks, the later is more about climate communication.
Delighted and grateful for the opportunity to study climate and climate impacts in a net-zero world as a NERC research fellow starting January '24! Thank you to all my amazing colleagues who have supported and encouraged me. Can't wait to get started! @UniRdg_Met @AtmosScience
A warm welcome (and a big congratulations) to our latest cohort of Independent Research Fellows! 🎉 We're excited to watch them advance their fields and develop their leadership skills over the next five years.
Climate change is a total gamechanger for heatwaves. This animation breaks down our recent study on the late April heatwave that impacted Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Algeria, highlighting how much hotter and more likely climate change made the event.
