Calls/emails from reporters asking for a comment on last's years temperature are coming earlier than normal this year. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.

Holy sh*t. If this verifies, it is close or at the limit of human survivability.

People often ask me "where's the best place to move to in order to avoid climate impacts?" I don't know the answer to that, but I do have a good answer for where's the worst place to move: the Middle East.

Sanity check. I filmed an interview today and got the following release form. It gives them the right to "simulate and impersonate" me. Does that sound as bad to you as it does to me?

It seems like Musk might finally have pushed climate twitter to other platforms. I think both blue sky and mastodon are getting much better and approaching critical mass.

On The Climate Brink, @hausfath describes the odds that this year’s warming exceeds 1.5 deg C.

The answer: it’s possible, but with caveats.

I wonder if people in Dade County who voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 realize how much they f*cked the world up. Anyway, I'm sure they're feeling smug and principled right now.

People who talk about the horror of wind turbine blades always forget about the 40 billion tons of CO2 we dump into the atmosphere — every year.

Having a fantastic workshop sponsored by TAMU on urban climate and how extreme urban heat and other factors will affect people living there.

Coincidentally, right next door are the people who are working as hard as possible to make the climate of urban areas unlivable.

Temperatures for the last few months are so hot that there is now almost no way you can cherry pick to get a negative trend, even in the UAH satellite data. Starting your trend calculation in any month from Dec. 1978 to Aug. 2023 and ending in Feb. 2024 yields a positive slope.

I'm learning a lot about my father as we go through his old papers. Here's a letter he wrote to Eisenhower asking for clemency for the Rosenburgs.

Your occasional reminder that more intense rainfall is one of the longest standing predicted impacts of climate change.

Hey reporters: please do not connect the flooding in Dubai with cloud seeding. If you seed clouds all the time (which they do), then when intense rain occurs (which eventually it will) you may conclude that cloud seeding was responsible. But what about the 999 times when you seeded and it didn’t flood.
