Going to @EuroGeosciences #EGU25 today? I'll be speaking remotely about Holocene climate stability (and whether or not it means we're in a self-stabilising climate attractor, or just got lucky) & the #HothouseEarth hypothesis at 1620 CEST in Room F1 / online: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-19647.html
New blogpost/essay: *On the Point of Tipping*
[some thoughts-in-progress (that ended up quite long) on the uses and limitations of climate tipping points as a scientific metaphor & model]

It’s perhaps surprising that it’s taken as many as three whole posts here for me to get on to the topic of tipping points, given my recent academic and outreach work. I’ve been thinking about writi…
Thinking of going to @EuroGeosciences GA2025? We have a session on 'Earth resilience, tipping points and human-Earth system interactions in the Anthropocene' - abstract deadline is Wednesday 15th Jan. 13:00 CET!
https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/51893
Convened by Jonathan Donges along with Lan Wang Erlandsson, Ricarda Winkelmann, Nico Wunderling, & myself. Looking forward to this year's submissions!

I've got a commentary out today in the new Dialogues on Climate Change journal, summarising progress so far in research on climate #TippingPoints, and reflecting on their implications for climate action & the outlook for future research:
New post from me on recent stories of #CarbonSinks "collapsing" last year & Earth's "buffering capacity" reaching its limits, putting it in context of past trends & future projections. A bit of a lukewarm take by now, but hopefully a useful explainer!
