Big news! The 'all scientists who do climate' feed now stands at: 🌏 3500 MEMBERS 🌎 ...more than it ever had on Twitter! Huge welcome to #3949, my fav colleague @brasmus.bsky.social, and #3500, @johndparker.bsky.social, who says he’s “not good at social media.” No longer, John! Pin it here ⬇️

New paper led by Emily Hollingsworth in Geochemical Perspective Letters. We use Raman spectroscopy to evaluate rock organic carbon oxidation during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum and assess its role as a positive feedback mechanism! (1/3) www.geochemicalperspectivesletters.org/article2444/

I agree, although as I understand it, paleo databases involve thousands or tens of thousands of original pubs—far too many for inclusion in the conventional way for most journals.

Just out, a 66 million year history of atmospheric CO2. Key take away: CO2 hasn't been at today's levels for at least 3 million years. These high CO2 worlds in the geological past had less ice and *much* higher sea levels 📈🌊 ⚒️🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Reposting great tips that helped me to write a guide for my own students. Key points: AI-text 1) is inaccurate, 2) amplifies bias, 3) relies on other people’s words and ideas. But also, useful. I invited students to teach me how they use it. They pointed out things I’d never think of! Amazing 🧪⚒️
