@jdkirkham.bsky.socialProbably the most serious issue though is how this decision affects the credibility of the UK as a global leader on climate policy, at a time such leadership is desperately needed.
Show PostNew paper in Nature Communications led by Lander Van Tricht: glacier models run with daily instead of monthly climate data project 5 to 10% more glacier ice loss by 2100. That adds 20 to 33 mm to global sea-level rise. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Show PostHydrology Paper of the Day @jdkirkham.bsky.social on why geoengineering for climate change is not a good idea for polar hydrological systems: changes to solar radiation, ice melt and ice thickness will not be effective, and ocean current engineering will adversely affect sensitive environments.
Show PostAnalysis by @wwattribution.bsky.social finds global warming fingerprints all over the deadly Nepal mountain and glacier collapse and subsequent flood and debris flow. insideclimatenews.org/news/1609202...
Show Post🌱Pollen, charcoal, and biomarkers from 90-million-year-old Antarctic peatland sediments reveal that fire dynamics in the earliest peatlands of the warm, CO₂-rich Cretaceous world closely resembled modern ecosystems. @nu-eccor.bsky.social @awi.de 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
