Chicago and #AGU2022 here we come? Just a bit later than I had hoped.

> 'As my colleague Susan Joy Hassol and I emphasized in an LA Times op-ed two weeks ago, we must “be able to wrap our minds around two seemingly opposing realities: We are making substantial progress, and yet it’s wholly insufficient to the scale of the challenge”.'

Michael E. Mann: Don't despair. It's never about a single COP.

Yes, this year's summit, like every summit, fell short of what is needed. But the overall trajectory is progress. This is not the time to give up on the world's only functional framework to tackle climate change.

Hi! I'm Kim Wood, a faculty member at Mississippi State University studying hurricane behavior that ranges from individual tropical cyclones (TCs) to long-term patterns. I spend a lot of time coding in Python and strive to share examples when possible to limit how often we have to reinvent the wheel. I also craft data visualizations such as storm-following satellite imagery as in this example from Hurricane Dorian (2019):

What unconscious #habits do you have while you #work? I tend to narrate to myself while I'm solving problems or #writing.

It comes out as a whispered mutter. The first time I really noticed it was in #college, when my favorite #calculus professor told me to stop muttering during an exam! Needless to say, that was a jarring way to realize it 😜

Despite temperatures being a bit cooler today at the World Cup than Qatar was seeing earlier this month, they were /still/ made twice as likely by human-caused climate change.

The World Cup is warming up.

"If the 2022 World Cup had taken place in June and July as is typical, players, spectators and workers would have experienced 50–70% more hours with Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) above 86°F, and 15–23% more hours with WBGT exceeding 89.6°F than during November and December. "
