Updated version of the impacts map that incorporates the latest runs from 13 dynamical models to refine the areas affected by this year's event:

This year's record setting El Niño will impact many different parts of the world, with some experiencing severe drought and others flooding. In a new analysis at The Climate Brink, I explore what impacts happened during past events and which are most likely to occur this year

What is funny is that climate has a shorter response time than politicians. What is going on there?

Someone advised me to put this on a t shirt. Anyone who'd buy this?

If you want 1.5C, 1.8C, 2C, overshoot, no-overshoot, etc, then they all require the same thing: rapid short-term emission reductions reaching net zero CO2 emissions as soon as possible. This has been clear from the IPCC Special Report on 1.5C, which depicts "overshoot" on its cover! 1/

I wrote my thoughts about the current heatwave in Europe in a small post. I think there could be something potentially positive in the fact that Europe was hit by the heatwave this summer, as "positive" as it can be when people, animals, life, nature suffer... alexborger.com/blog/europe-...

Just open sourced Computational Life Reactor github.com/alexcybernet...

~3 days

Can life start from noise? Check out my recent experiment: Computational Life Reactor (CLR) alexborger.com A great short intro to the topic by Number Cruncher (Johannes Martin): youtu.be/w9_fWcNeITg

Number Cruncher just published a 12 minutes video on YouTube featuring CLR - Computational Life Reactor Can Life Start From Noise? youtu.be/w9_fWcNeITg?...

Hey guys, if you are interested in computational life: I have built CLR a Computational Life Reactor to run experiments. It’s an interactive browser implementation of the computational-life experiments studied by Agüera y Arcas (Google) and collaborators (watch mlst/YouTube). 1/4

What are your motives for open-sourcing your code, and are those changing with AI?

“Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.” Carl Sagan

The carbon budget for holding 1.5 °C is almost gone, yet the path is known: emissions must fall to net zero by 2032 to limit warming to 1.5 °C, or by 2050 to limit it to 1.7 °C. The hard part is whether a species clever enough to measure the danger is wise enough to answer it.

Claude Fable 5 (nee Mythos) is out today. One of the ways I like to test new models is by giving them daily global temperature data (ERA5) and asking them to come up with some creative and compelling visualizations. Here is how Fable did!
