Circular food system approaches can support current European protein intake levels while reducing land use and greenhouse gas emissions - Nature Food

Almost half of land use and nearly three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by adopting circularity principles and reducing the ratio of animal-sourced protein to plant-sourced protein from 60:40 to 40:60 in European diets.

I'm now following #PaperOfTheWeek entirely because @ClnHz's summaries are so good and all the papers she chooses are so useful

You might want to as well.. #FF

#PaperOfTheWeek w4 on #EmergentConstraints (EC) applied to #Precipitation. EC = find two parameters A and B that are correlated; A can be represented by climate models; B cannot but you want to predict its future. Ferguglia et al. (2023) found that for #precipitation, most EC found for #CMIP5 no longer work for #CMIP6, probably because the model spread is reduced and/or relationship between A and B was not that well understood, a pre-requisite for the method to work. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-022-06634-1

Time for #PaperOfTheWeek #CalendarWeek3 - This paper pushes to re-think ways of transferring #science to #DecisionMakers and #society 📣

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006320722004396?dgcid=author

Common myths
➡️ Facts change minds
➡️ Scientific literacy is the answer
➡️ To change social behavior, change individual minds
➡️ Big, broad impact is best

Some possible alternatives in line with more recent behavioral science are suggested.
My personal take-away: think of the human as part of a social web rather than an individual!

To start off the 1 paper per week challenge of this year, here is my #PaperOfTheWeek, or rather #PreprintOfTheWeek 😀

https://tc.copernicus.org/preprints/tc-2022-225/

They present and evaluate a new one-layer dynamical model to improve the fine-scale representation of #melt patterns under #Antarctic #IceShelves. Interesting to see how this can be applied to improve future #SeaLevel projections!
Quite technical but interesting for #ocean and #IceSheet #modelers!

TCD - Modeling Antarctic ice shelf basal melt patterns using the one-Layer Antarctic model for Dynamical Downscaling of Ice–ocean Exchanges (LADDIE)

While I admire @ClnHz’s #PaperOfTheWeek idea, I am not sure I really properly read papers at all any more. Or very rarely. And summarising? It wont happen (for me)

However, I skim read a lot, so instead, I’m going to more often pick one of the papers open in my #zotero tabs, and tell you it’s there.

Today #zoterotab is Annan and Hargreaves (2017): On the meaning of independence in climate science, https://dx.doi.org/10.5194/esd-8-211-2017

(I am not sucking up to
@jdannan & @julesberry 😜, this is a coincidence)
