“Staff were told on Thursday that 102 full-time equivalent positions would be cut from the unit, with a large number to come from climate modelling teams.”

“Leading #ClimateScientist Professor #SarahPerkinsKirkpatrick, president of the #Australian #Meteorological and #Oceanographic Society, described the cuts as “one of the worst things I’ve seen during my career”.

“If we don’t have the Australian climate model, then we simply cannot replicate Australia’s climate and #weather within an accurate envelope; it’s just not possible,” she told this masthead.

“None of the other climate models that exist across the world can do that.”

Cuts to strategic CSIRO climate modelling suggests the Learned leader listens to the Economic sooth-sayers in suits than science based facts.

‘Worst thing I’ve ever seen’: CSIRO slashes climate modelling jobs

Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.

"On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, prominent #climatescientist #MichaelMann... and Peter Hotez reveal the forces behind the dangerous #antiscience movement, including plutocrats, libertarian tech entrepreneurs, and petrostates.

They write, "Armed with the information in this book, we can be empowered to promote scientific truths, shine light on channels of dark money, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet, and ultimately avert disaster."

The forces behind the dangerous anti-science movement

In their new book, "Science Under Siege," Peter Hotez and Michael Mann reveal the main forces threatening science: plutocrats, pros, petrostates, phonies, and the press.

Wright was speaking days after his agency, the Department of Energy, produced a report claiming concern over the climate crisis was overblown. That energy department report was slammed by #scientists for being a “#farce” full of #misinformation

In recent weeks the Trump administration deleted the website that hosted the periodic, legally mandated, national climate assessments
#Climatescientist #MichaelMann said in an emailed comment to the Guardian: “This is exactly what Joseph Stalin did.”

"#Climatescientist #MichaelMann called the report “a deeply misleading #antiscientific narrative, built on deceptive arguments, misrepresented datasets, and distortion of actual scientific understanding.” @Insideclimatenews

DEBUNKING #LAWildfires Myths with #ClimateScientist Dr #DanielSwain

1h21m02s long but it proves why it's #CLIMATE that is responsible for the fires.

NOT the fault of 'lesbians', women, 'black' women, or a pseudo-liberal governor. CLIMATE caused the fires in #LosAngeles.

@ned Nice to welcome another #ClimateScientist here! If you write a post with #introduction, it usually gets a lot of exposure. I see that you've already followed quite a few people - that's a secret to making your timeline diverse and fun. Also, use hashtags liberally! How's that for #UnsolicitedFediAdvice?

#Introduction:

I'm a #climateScientist, and for the past few years I've worked in the #climateRisk space as science team leader in an organisation undertaking climate-related physical risk assessment for #government, #NGO, and #finance sector organisations.

The #physicalClimateRisk space is a real wild west at the moment, with lots of players trying to do things in sometimes wildly different ways.

So now I'm heading back into academia in order to study how to optimise risk assessment

Fossil-Fueled Climate Change Left Out of Media Coverage of Hurricane Helene: Scientist Peter Kalmus

Hurricane Helene tears through the southeastern United States as scientists say climate change rapidly intensifies hurricanes. The storm devastated large swaths of the southeastern United States after making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm. Officials say the death toll is likely to rise, as many are still missing. Helene is expected to be one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history and was fueled by abnormally warm water in the Gulf of Mexico, but most of the media coverage has failed to connect the devastation to the climate crisis. “The planet’s overheating. It’s irreversible. It’s caused by the fossil fuel industry,” says climate activist and climate scientist Peter Kalmus in Raleigh, North Carolina. “This will get worse as the planet continues to get hotter.”
