This blog explores what remaining carbon budgets mean for future emissions pathways, finding that zero emissions must be reached by 2030-2079 to meet climate targets in the absence of net-negative global emissions.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that global warming is worsening wildfires in boreal forests. Evidence from sediment cores suggests that the increase in fires has reached an unprecedented level in the last 10,000 years. Fossil lobbyists are pushing false narratives about the causes of the fires, but the reality is that drier and warmer conditions mean more intense fires.

Catastrophic wildfires have created record-bad air quality across Canada and the Eastern US. This blog looks at the role climate change plays in these events, as well as how hot and dry conditions exacerbated by climate change increase extreme wildfire risk.

Massive smoke plumes caused by Canadian wildfires over parts of the Western USA were captured by Copernicus Sentinel-3. The image is about 780 kilometers wide and shows the impact of the wildfires on the environment.

This blog post looks at the importance of carefully examining plots before making strong claims. It uses the example of a study looking at which regions that are not currently fire prone might become fire prone.

In a mere 3 weeks of 2023, 32% of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) warming since 1995 arrived. This event is paradigm-falsifying and must be addressed urgently. ENSO geothermal events are the only way to explain this temperature accrual.

This blog post provides a useful trick for interpreting graphs related to climate change. It explains how the temperature and CO2 levels are plotted together, and how to calculate the transient climate response. It is a great resource for understanding the effects of climate change.

Much has changed since Elon Musk took over. Based on experiments, climate denial responses are up 15-30x. Changes in followers are even more dramatic: Stef's analysis shows that climate accounts have seen little change while denial accounts have boomed. There are a few different factors contributing to this, including an exodus in October.
