Some (good) personal news - I am so happy to share that today is my first day at Climate Central (as a Climate Scientist).
Ready to move the science and communication of it forward in this crucial moment. Follow our work on climate services and attribution at climatecentral.org/.
Climate Central
Climate Central researches and reports on the impacts of climate change, including sea level rise and coastal flooding, extreme weather and weather attribution, global warming and local temperature trends, carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions.www.climatecentral.org

Last month observed particularly anomalous warmth across large parts of Siberia (>5°C above the 1981-2010 average).

ERA5 monthly averaged data on single levels from 1940 to present
ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather for the past 8 decades. Data is available from 1940 onwards. ERA5 replaces the ERA-Interim reanalysis.doi.org

Really really disturbing. A lot of that region is taiga / permafrost…..
It implies snow cover is minimal…
I wonder what the CO / CO2 and methane emissions look like…plus albedo.
Google didn’t kill the open web.
But AI might.
Because AI doesn’t click.
And if no one clicks, no one pays.
And if no one pays, content stops.

From Penny Press to Protocols: The Structural Shift AI Forces on the Internet
In 1833, Benjamin Day had a crazy idea. What if newspapers didn't have to cost six cents? What if you could sell them for just one penny and make up the difference somewhere else? This sounds obvious now, but at the time it was radical.Joan Westenberg (Westenberg.)

114f 2 days ago, 108f yesterday, 105f just now.
On average +15f or so.
But, it’s a dry heat…..
About 1 trillion stars, located 21 million l-y away from us, and featuring a diameter 2.5 times larger than the Milky Way: this is M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy, and I can capture it, with total impunity, with a 103 mm off the shelf telescope. If this is not mind boggling, then what is?

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay🐝
Bees and other pollinators keep 80% of crops & wild plants alive.
Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.
The New Deal for Pollinators aims to reverse this before 2030, by:
🌿Mitigating the impacts of pollution, including pesticides
🌼Restoring degraded ecosystems
🛡️Protecting habitats
🌾Taking action to protect the most threatened species

"From the icy oceans of our poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough has filmed in every ocean habitat on planet earth. Now, with long-term collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of our last great, critical wilderness, and the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe.."

Over the last 50 years, temperatures have been warming across most land areas during the month of May. However, there is also some spatial variability (not too surprising).

Shoutout to all UK ocean scientists! This third FMRI podcast is the most interesting so far - really getting into the details of what the future could look like. This is going to affect ALL of us, so please do listen to the podcast and have your say. The fourth episode will be focussed on responding to your thoughts (we've got a bunch already but more is better), so do send your ideas, concerns, questions and comments!
This is also for anyone who uses UK marine research infrastructure - geologists, atmospheric scientists, polar scientists etc. Please do help spread the word, and feel free to post about your responses to the issues in the podcast - the aim of this is to stimulate discussion.

in reply to Zack Labe • • •I am forever thankful for the kindness of so many people these last few months. I'll always remember it. Thank you.
Now I'm going to do whatever I can to keep on fighting, and more importantly support the early career scientist community in whatever way I can. Don't hesitate to reach out.
There are still *many* stories left to be told (since January)... but right now, I am just grateful ☺️
