Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread

Dear @elonmusk can you please let @realDonaldTrump know that climate change is very real and very costly, and that we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground?

Is this a joke? 500 tonnes C captured by 2027 — (100 p.a.) when we’re burning 10,000,000,000 tonnes p.a. Solving 0.000001% of the climate crisis. Technophilia gone wrong 😩

Anyone notice that those politicians who initially played down this virus also tend to be strong climate change deniers? Both point to a catastrophically poor ability to judge risk.

Big news: we’re divesting at UNSW! Hoping more will join us. University to jettison fossil fuel investments by 2025 'at the latest'

Honestly when did the humble cake of soap stop being a thing?? Shelves dominated by plastic bottles of liquid soap, made mostly of water, some at ridiculous prices, crazy. #oldschool

We have still got this completely the wrong way around in Australia. @AlboMP @tanya_plibersek why not tax fossil fuels to subsidise young Australians in getting their degrees?? The current situation leaves them with 2 x massive debts: (1) tuition fees and (2) climate change.

As we enter the fourth La Niña event in the past 5 years, and with ongoing evidence of an AMOC slowdown, good time to re-up our work exploring how an AMOC shutdown would reorganise our atmosphere…..

The collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation could shift the climate to a more La Niña-like state. New research by @ProfMattEngland, @AndreaTaschetto + @BryamOP (@UNSW) explores the consequences – including "a massive pile up of heat". bit.ly/3NrHJZ4

A decade ago a journo asked me to describe how our future would be different - in terms unrelated to a graphic or scientific paper - and I said “One day we will come to dread summer rather than celebrate it.” That day came far sooner than I expected 😔

Walking through smoke-filled, surreally bruised-coloured Sydney today, the horrible realisation dawned on me: It’s not even summer yet.

Our new study out in @NatureComms this week led by @ZhiLi_Ocean with me and @SjoerdGroeskamp reveals alarming acceleration in ocean warming rates in recent decades - and we uncover the water masses doing all the heavy lifting. newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-t…
