@petergleick He was brilliant..
Peter GleickRIP Tom Lehrer. I grew up with his music and still know the words to so many of his songs.

Mikko TuomiDue to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy, a global irreversible #solar tipping point may have passed where solar #energy gradually comes to dominate global #electricity markets, without any further #climate policies.
Policies resolving barriers may be more effective than price instruments to accelerate the transition to clean energy.

The momentum of the solar energy transition - Nature Communications
Nijsse and colleagues find that due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy, a global irreversible solar tipping point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to dominate global electricity markets, without any further climate policies. Uncertainties arise, however, over grid stability in a renewables-dominated power system, the availability of sufficient finance in underdeveloped economies, the capacity of supply chains and political resistance from regions that lose employment.
Prof. Stefan RahmstorfMy take on the acceleration of global warming following from @hausfath @nytimes article https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/13/opinion/climate-change-excessive-heat-2023.html. I use different data (NASA) and method (LOWESS non-linear trend). Compared to the 40-year linear trend, the non-linear is less steep in the first half and steeper in the second.
Daniel SwainInternational dynamical models ensemble is now unanimous in predicting strong to very strong #ElNiño event that will peak sometime this winter. This is a remarkably strong signal, so I'm reasonably confident that the oceanic signature of a strong EN will actually occur. https://t.co/YSe3xb4PA7

Ruth MottramGood thread on the current alarming #Antarctic #SeaIce trends by @PoLaRobs
Rob Larter (@[email protected])
A thread about the extreme anomaly in Antarctic sea-ice extent this year, the present state of knowledge on the reasons for it and why further research is important. I find the sharp downward trend in Antarctic sea-ice extent that started 7 years ago deeply unsettling, which is why I toot about it a lot. 1/n
Rob LarterSo in summary, be very concerned about the changes currently being observed. In parallel with lobbying for action though, lobby for more research, because we need that to strengthen the foundations of calls for action and to inform decisions on adaptation.

Dan GillmorThe most important thing you'll read about the Trump coup attempt since the latest indictments is this, from Josh Marshall, who really should be here, not on Musk's degraded POS: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/john-eastman-comes-clean-hell-yes-we-were-trying-to-overthrow-the-government
John Eastman Comes Clean: Hell Yes We Were Trying to Overthrow the Government
I want to return to this revelatory interview with co-conspirator John Eastman, the last portion of which was published Thursday by Tom Klingenstein, the Chairman of the Trumpite Claremont Institute…
Dr. Farhana SultanaThe capitalist model of climate governance means many people & ecosystems are seen as disposable as they don’t generate enough profit (any longer if they were exploitable before). This is a denial of #ClimateJustice globally. This is how #ClimateColoniality is perpetuated too.
