Abstract submission now open for the UK National Climate Impacts meeting. Climate and health focus on one day, and a general impacts/risks focus on the other. We would love to see you. @eunicelo.bsky.social @richardabetts.bsky.social @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social www.climatebristol.org/projects/nci...

Really exciting climate conference covering key science aspects on the approach to #COP30. Some very high profile speakers, and lots of time for engagement. Me & @richardabetts.bsky.social are running the Extremes, Impacts & Adaptation session 🥵🧊🏥 exeterclimateforum.com @coxypm.bsky.social

What is the fate of a pulse of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere? After release, the CO2 is gradually taken up by land & ocean, roughly in equal parts for the first 50 years, but the land saturates while the ocean continues to take up carbon. acp.copernicus.org/articles/13/...

Anyone interested in climate attribution, check out how the latest models will look. The design and implementation is particularly exciting, as we move from 'concentration driven' to 'emissions driven' models. Comments on our paper are very welcome egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

The weather and climate advisory committee to @metoffice.bsky.social disbands early for some of us, as the Chief Scientific Officer does his first ever forecast, warning us to change travel plans in light of the red warning alert they have just announced

Pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement will harm American lives. My paper showed that there would be many thousands of extra heatwave deaths a year. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Increasing mitigation ambition to meet the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal avoids substantial heat-related mortality in U.S. cities

"The health burden of climate change is much larger than we have realized," says @climatedann.bsky.social "Persistent exposure to heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and more will take a toll on people’s bodies. We must learn how this will manifest" #climatecrisis www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why don’t we know the full human health cost of climate change yet? In this @nature.com short paper published today, I share some thoughts on long-exposures, slow onset events, and other invisible health tolls www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why we still don’t know the mounting health risks of climate change
Persistent exposure to heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and more will take a toll on people’s bodies. We must learn how this will manifest.

How did we ever have some leading our country who would deny basic science 🤔? I am desperately trying to think that Liz Truss was a mildly better PM than Boris Johnson, but she is making it very hard for me. Thanks to Keir Starmer for not being either of them

Well done to my amazing colleagues at Bristol, who have made it into the @carbonbrief.org 10 most talked about climate papers for the second year running. Good work @climatesamwell.bsky.social and Paul Valdes! www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-the...

"Words are easily misunderstood" - climate scientists have standardise some; 'likely' means >66%. But for MI5 'likely' means 55-75% - and they are communicating this better than we do, with "likelihood of needing a coffee refill" @ipcc.bsky.social @valmasdel.bsky.social @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social
See lecture on Oxford Mathematics YouTube channel by Prof Spiegelhalter for more context on the MI5 part!

Wildfires in London in 2022 destroyed properties - and we've looked at just how unprecedented they were. Not at all relevant for anything else going on, in, say, LA, at the moment 🙄 - well done to @vikkithompson.bsky.social for leading such an important study

Today we have been speaking with A&E doctors about #StormDarragh - some insight (from a single region) - A&E visits were lower than usual on the storm night - A&E visits were higher the day after, as people had waited for longer - Hospitals put nothing in place when a weather warning is issued

Hello, I’m excited to use my first post here to share that I’ve been awarded an Emerging Leaders Prize in Climate Change and Health by the Medical Research Foundation! I’m grateful for the support from my group, colleagues & friends. Receiving the award at @royalsociety.bsky.social was a dream.

I've created a starter pack for researchers looking at weather, climate, and linking through to different aspects of human health. I've certainly missed loads of very relevant people - so please let me know if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/VmEFso3

We weren't entirely sure what this white stuff falling from the sky was. Using an Assman Psychrometer to measure the wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures, along with a few assumptions, our students (Scarlett and Lucy) decided it was snow! @jonrobson.bsky.social you might recognise one of them 👇
