The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

BREAKING: A federal court has blocked the National Science Foundation (NSF) from transferring a major supercomputer away from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Wyoming. This is good news! (🧵👇)

To go under Thwaites Glacier, the only way is through ⬇️ This intrepid UK-Korean science team are tunnelling 1000m through one of the world's most unstable ice shelves. They'll get daily data showing how warm ocean water is melting Thwaites from below - crucial for predicting sea level rise.

The science budget cuts might not end up as bad as expected, but the NCAR situation is very worrying.

Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year. Learn more about this year's #BOTY and other big advances in science: scim.ag/493Tpgx
Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

#NCAR is great for both research and outreach. While digging through my archives, I found this video I made of a small homemade tornado.

This is very bad news. For our NCAR colleagues of course, for climate scientists everywhere, and really, for everyone. I had the good fortune to spend two years at the Mesa Lab as an ASP postdoc, and it was one of the best scientific environments I have known.

Hi Mike; recently we started looking into this for heat waves (arxiv.org/abs/2410.00984, to appear in AIES). We found some inspiration in papers like doi.org/10.1175/BAMS..., doi.org/10.1029/2022... and the group of @eabarnes.bsky.social, like doi.org/10.1029/2021...
