When I think of all the amazing scientists that have lost their jobs here in the states because of Trump/Vought/Musk/RFK Jr/the GOP, it makes my blood boil to see the US interfering in a single overseas postdoctoral appointment matter to advance a white supremacist agenda.

With record-breaking heatwaves, France just had both its warmest June and July on record. Systematic collection of weather data basically began in Western Europe, giving Europe the longest thermometer-based histories in the world. After more than 250 years, we have changed the climate. 🧪

One of the climate modeling preprints that I cited in my feature, finding that AMOC was resilient and reversible to realistic Greenland melt, is out now in Science Advances. Not shockingly, it hasn't gotten broad coverage.

Climate model simulations show the Atlantic overturning circulation can recover even from strong future Greenland ice sheet melt.

Happy Midwinter to all Antarctic folks. A year ago today, I was at Elephant Island, where Shackleton and his men were marooned for months before the amazing journey to South Georgia and ultimate rescue. Elephant Island is just outside the Antarctic Circle, so we did see a sunrise, albeit briefly.
