This sucks!! GFDL is really one of the best places for climate modelling there is!

Thomas Frölicher@froeltho.bsky.social

This is really sad news. NOAA GFDL is one of the world's leading climate modeling centers, home to exceptional scientists. If anyone directly affected needs support, I’m happy to help. www.science.org/content/arti...

Are you serious @royalsociety.org?? He is trying to destroy science, spreading dangerous misinformation, inciting violence & your response is to do nothing? So what’s your purpose then? What do you exist for? Other than being elite? 🧪 #academicsky www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

And here is a great piece in The Conversation my colleagues @taimoorsohail.bsky.social and Bishakhdatta Gayen have written on our paper that just got published. theconversation.com/melting-anta... @bjerknes.bsky.social

theconversation.comMelting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profoundPart of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current down 20% by 2050.

Our recent work on the possible slowdown of Earth's strongest current due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets, with colleagues @taimoorsohail.bsky.social and Bishakh Gayen, just came out (doi.org/10.1088/1748...). @bjerknes.bsky.social

New research out today with colleagues Bishakhdatta Gayen and Andreas Klocker projects that the world’s strongest current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, may slow by 20% by 2050 in a high emissions future. So happy to have this out for the world to read! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have a commentary in Nature on our disquieting inability to work out why 2023 was so warm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

nature.comClimate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territoryTaking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed. Taking into account all known factors, the pl...
