Big news for Southern Ocean observation, something we badly need more of 🌊
Alfred Wegener InstituteThe SYNCHRONY project, led by the AWI, will start on 1 August 2026. It will strengthen observations in the Southern Ocean, improve our understanding of changes to the ocean, ice and atmosphere, and lay the groundwork for the UN Ocean Decade initiative, Antarctica InSync. www.awi.de/en/about-us/...
🚨 New paper 🚨 from one of our awesome students 🌊 We ask: if the AMOC shuts down, does Antarctica feel the impact via the ocean? Using a coupled climate and ice sheet model we come to the conclusion: not much, actually 😅 (with caveats, of course) esd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...
Simulating the impact of an AMOC weakening on the Antarctic Ice Sheet using a coupled climate and ice-sheet modelAbstract. Climate model studies show that a shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) reduces northward heat transport into the North Atlantic, which causes an accumulation of...esd.copernicus.orgIt's wild how politicians can just .... *do things*, if they want to
Mayor Zohran Kwame MamdaniAt our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.
Should not have liked this. Just got another 7...
Tim RaupachWow, @egu.eu really badly wants candidates for treasurer and ECR union rep. To their credit I normally skim-read these emails but after the 30th identical email I did read it properly.
The year is 2316, summer is now one long heatwave, people spontaneously combust upon leaving climate controlled underground bunkers. Now a ritual whose purpose is lost to time, the mounting death tolls are announced with accompanying imagery of people frolicking in the sea during the 'cold era'.
Fionn PoolerThe first sentence: "Scientists say human-driven climate change is increasing the intensity, length and frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves". And yet the article still uses a photo of people at the beach 🤷♂️
That feeling when Argentina spends so much time in the other half, they forget what their defenders are for #ArgEgy
Willem HuiskampHahahahahahahahaha #ARGEGY
Extremely funny and well deserved thrashing of the U.S. No notes, Belgium.
Brent Toderian“After it ended, the Belgian team’s social media account had a message to the U.S. on Twitter: “Overturn this.” Perfect. #WellPlayed #Belgium
It's worth stressing that the *magnitude* by which some of these records are being broken is nothing short of astonishing

It's not just people in their 40s and 50s...
Emily GrubertA really unpleasant professional anxiety that I’ve just realized I have is that I don‘t know how to think about collaborations now that I’m so mismatched with peers on acceptable AI use. I expected this problem with students but I’m shocked at how everyone in their 40s/50s is just casually using it
5.7km/h!!! I never again want to hear about the dangers of legal Ebikes
Prof. Ian WalkerWe limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...
Never thought I'd say this, but I'm rooting for severe weather
CNBCHeatwaves and severe weather are raising risks for AI data centers, from grid strain to higher insurance and repair costs.
No way, this would be such bad writing in a movie 😭
