Where do our CO2 emissions come from, and where do they end up? I made this little summary - and you can see why reducing the use of fossil fuels remains the most important tool we have for slowing climate change:

How old is the sea ice in the Arctic, and why does that matter? We’ve just released a new sea-ice age dataset covering 1991–2024. It helps researchers track the decline of older, thicker ice & improve climate studies, model evaluation & safe traffic in the region. @met.no nersc.no/en/features/...

I recently had a chat with Bob Grove for the climate hour about Arctic climate and tipping points, its out now online and on the air climategkc.org/climate-hour/

The map shows the spatial pattern of median conditions for the selected month, while the lower panel tracks how the season may evolve at your chosen location.

You can: • Jump between different ski resorts (like Myrkdalen in the screenshot) • Switch to major Nordic cities • Or just click anywhere on the map to get a local forecast time series for that spot

The tool uses ECMWF’s 51-member seasonal ensemble and summarises the range of possible conditions each month. In the time series you see the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 95th percentiles, so you get a sense of the spread.

Winter has arrived properly in Norway this week ❄️ After a few days of heavy snow it already feels like mid-season, so it’s time to look a bit further ahead. I’ve built a small interactive tool to explore ECMWF seasonal snow forecasts for the Nordics: climatecompass.shinyapps.io/Snow_Depth_F...

Sarcasm aside, it's perhaps worth pointing out that the evidence suggests that weather disasters reduce economic growth for decades - the idea that there's rapid bounceback, or even extra growth stimulated by recovery, has proved wrong www.newscientist.com/article/mg23...

We all get poorer every time a climate disaster strikes

Long-term economic effects of global warming could be far greater than thought, making many countries poorer and hurting even those of us spared direct impacts

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

A reality check for me was working with students on an internal carbon accounting platform that Bon App our food provider uses. Beef was less than 5% of our purchases but around 50% of our food emissions even with international work to be plant forward. apnews.com/article/plan...

A recipe for avoiding 15 million deaths a year and climate disaster is fixing food, scientists say

Scientists are presenting new evidence that the worst effects of climate change can’t be avoided without a major transformation of food systems.

The real headline is there in the article: “The wealthiest are increasing their wealth faster than any other group.” That’s the story. Not the meaningless number.

So when we say the richest 1% hold $52 trillion, we just check out. It sounds like monopoly money. We’re not wired to understand exponential scales — and that’s exactly how the story slips past us.

100

Who has a sense of what $52 trillion means? It’s too big, too abstract. Even billion vs. million is a scale most people can’t intuitively grasp — a billion seconds is 31 years; a million seconds is 12 days.

Guido Grosse @grosseguido.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Growing wealth inequality is devastating for societies. But with headlines like “the wealth of the top 1% reached $52 trillion”, the topic gets ignored — because those numbers mean absolutely nothing to anyone.

I may have found my defining quote. Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

From a poster called “just shower thoughts“ reading: when people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically, changing the present by doing something small, barely anyone in the present to really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

Thanks to the fantastic team at NERSC, Jakob Dörr, and Philipp Griewank. If you’re working on climate dynamics, prediction, or sea ice processes, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how sea ice age could play a role in your work. #Arctic #SeaIce #ClimatePrediction #ClimateModels #ESA #SAGE

This work also launches us into our new ESA project, SAGE, where we’ll dig deeper into how sea ice age can reshape the way we evaluate and improve climate models. Stay tuned. 🌍❄️

Most exciting: sea ice age reveals low-frequency variability in the Arctic (see Fig. 5 in our paper). This opens a new window into decadal-scale fluctuations — crucial for improving #ClimatePrediction systems.

111

For the first time, we applied the same ice-tracking algorithm to both model output & satellite observations. This fair, like-for-like comparison reduces long-standing biases and shows that sea ice age captures dynamics thickness & volume alone cannot.

100

Sea ice age is more than just a number — it integrates the dynamic + thermodynamic processes shaping Arctic sea ice. Unlike area or thickness, it can’t easily be tuned in models. Age emerges from the cumulative history of growth, melt & drift. A tough benchmark for climate models.

Agreed! It’s really important to separate the role of natural variability (and its response to forcing) from forced-responses but it is a minefield for public communication

Hi Kevin! There is sensitivity to those standout years but there is also a clear signal of natural variation in sea ice loss and arctic amplification that show a strong peak in the mid 2000s
