Although written with some irony, this article so captures the commodification of scientific publishing in the last few years. It sometimes feels like a publications arms race, not in a good way www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Introducing the j-metric: a true measure of what matters in academia
Science has become obsessed with publishing numbers. With this new satirical proposal, have we reached peak metric?

Looks like staying below 1.5 degs warming is in the rear view mirror. Let's hope that 2 degs doesn't end up the same.

Just published, free to read. www.nature.com/articles/s43.... Currently trajectory => dangerous levels of sea level rise from the ice sheets. Will this influence policy? Unlikely, but important to keep banging the drum. As declared by almost all nations: it's an EMERGENCY.
