Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week. "...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

NOAA firings hit the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting

Dismissed researchers were improving severe weather predictions

Record low snowcover in the Alps! 🔥 At Zugspitze (highest GER mountain), the previous 145 cm record low (1972) for a 1st march has been smashed today: 110 cm! ❄️😱 Really worrying about the drought this summer (not to mention the glaciers...) 📈 🙏 @jojoski2.bsky.social

'Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise' ❄️🧊 Huge effort to gather mass loss estimate outside ice sheets btw 2000 and 2023 📈 Since 2000, 5% ice volume lost globally (273 gigatonnes/yr) 🌊 Guess who 'won'? 🥇 Alps and Pyrenees lost 39% of their 2000 volume! 😲😱 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A constant reminder that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as they did during the pandemic lockdown from now to 2030, we still wouldn't meet our emission target to keep global warming below 1.5°C.

A line graph depicting global CO2 emissions from energy and industrial processes, along with projections from 2000 to 2100. The y-axis represents CO2 emissions in gigatons (Gt), while the x-axis marks the years. A highlighted target to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C in 2100 is at 20 GtCO₂/yr by 2030. Also show is a line showing decrease in emissions equivalent to what occurred during the pandemic. The line misses the target by about 8 GtCO₂/yr in 2030.

Saw a skeet from @neilrkaye.bsky.social on a bulletin board today. Also, if you are 30 years old, more than half of all fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Southern Pfandlscharten Glacier 1911 | 2024 Jürgen Merz This small west-flowing glacier located in the Hohe Tauern range (AT) has now completely disappeared ✝️ During the LIA (~1850), all the cirque was filled with 1.2 km² of ice down to an elevation of 2350 m! ❄️ 📷 @glacionaut/IG

Comparison between the state of the small cirque glacier Pfandlscherten between 1911 and 2024. It has now completely disappeared but all the cirque was filled with 1.2 km² of ice in 1850!

I get that COPs are the best we have but they are infuriating - it is so hard to simply keep past commitments let alone accelerate action at the speed and scale required to have any hope of achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. Shame on the countries that show up to obstruct rather than act.
