Challenges and opportunities for improved understanding of regional climate dynamics [link]
New study finds that Earth’s wet land areas are getting wetter and dry areas are getting drier due to a variety of factors, including human #water management, #climatechange and natural cycles [link]
Intense Winter Surface Melt on an Antarctic Ice Shelf [link]
the @CarbFix project in Iceland that is turning carbon dioxide into rock:[link]
We can now see how humans have altered Earth’s water resources [link]…

Emissions of banned ozone-eating chemical somehow are rising [link]
Paleoclimatological Context and Reference Level of the 2°C and 1.5°C Paris Agreement Long-Term Temperature Limits [link]
Ocean circulation makes the world warmer! Understanding why is a radiative feedback problem. [link] …
Hurricanes and the sea: it takes two to tango [link]
Equatorial Atlantic variability—Modes, mechanisms, and global teleconnections [link]
Regional Climate Sensitivity‐ and Historical‐Based Projections to 2100 [link]
Paper finds large Antarctic glacier melting from geothermal heat below [link]
The Atlantic is entering a cool phase that will change the world’s weather [link]

Solar and Wind Lock-In Fossil Fuels — And That Makes Saving the Climate Harder & More Expensive [link]
Oliver Geden: Politically informed advice for climate action [link]
Climate change was not a key cause of conflict and displacement of people in East Africa over the last 50 years – it was poverty and poor governance – question remains why was the region held back from development? [link]…
energy storage is hailed as a key clean-energy technology, but the awkward fact is that, at least in the US today, it increases carbon emissions. [link]
About science and scientists
How identity politics is harming the sciences [link]
Climate skeptic professor Peter Ridd fired for his views by James Cook University [link] …
Every aspect of science, from the framing of a research question through to publication of the manuscript, is susceptible to influences that can counter good intentions.[link]
New take on ‘girls rule(s)’: Female professor publicly reprimands student for her shorts being “too short” during a practice thesis presentation. Student proceeds to strip down to her underwear, finishes presentation a goddamn hero [link]
Charlan Nemeth’s new book, “In defense of troublemakers,” looks great; her research in social psych supports JS Mill’s arguments about how dissenters, even when wrong, help the majority to think better [link] …
Why the web challenged scientists’ authority–and why they need to adapt [link]
“Thus, scientists involved in politicized science disputes likely expect the news media to affirm the established scientific knowledge that scientists subscribe to and that, in their view, compels the policies they advocate for.” [link] …
