New blog on El Nino and extreme temperatures. TL/DR: don't blame El Nino - blame anthropogenic greenhouse emissions. www.kcl.ac.uk/el-nino-not-... #greensky #climatesky #geosky

Why El Niño is not to blame for record-breaking temperatures in 2023
Dr George Adamson, Reader in Climate and Society, explains the history behind El Niño, and why it is not the guilty culprit it’s made out to be.

Not to make light of the alarming surface warming we’re seeing at the moment, but every El Niño observed since 1998 has been ‘weird’

Twitter now is like walking into a party you know you should never have gone to. 'Oh George I hear you're into climate change? You should really hear what my friend Julia Hartley Brewer thinks about it.'

Do young people not use subscript for the '2' in CO2 any more? Has anyone else come across this? It's a 100% failure rate in the essays I'm marking at the moment. #geosky

There is this common wisdom among policymakers that getting the energy transition right means understanding the hard sciences. While that’s obviously necessary, it should be now clear that what climate politics needs is a desperate and thorough grasp of history and social studies.

The energy transition won't be successful if it is perceived as something that is happening "to" people. It must be “with” people. Giving communities authentic agency, a stake in the planning process, and a share in revenue when appropriate is the best way to expand the coalition for climate action.

So my survey got attacked by some bots, and now I've lost 50% of my data. Please help me get to 1,000 real humans who actually meet my survey criteria? This sad PhD candidate thanks you in advance.
