Nice @ryankatzrosene.bsky.social piece here on carbon offsets for academia - fundamentally, it is really not a reliable way for academics to engage with the complicated reality of their climate impacts

What’s the main takeaway Gavin? Is there something about El Niño transition years that we’re not accurately predicting?

I made a plot. Each bar shows the coldest and warmest daily global surface temperatures for each year, according to ECMWF reanalysis (ClimateReanalyzer). Over this time the average temperature fluctuates by 4.28C within each year.

In a new comment in The Conversation Canada, I echo calls to revise international GHG-reporting practices so countries report upon the Carbon flux in their UNMANAGED lands.

November was another Gobsmackingly Bananas record warm month, globally… media seems to be 🦗🦗🦗 Let’s not normalize the insanity of this trajectory. It can only persist for so long before having cataclysmic results for humanity.

Remarkable… The gulf between these two quotes is absolutely wild. Both world-leading climate scientists. Both invoking “the science”. Who’s right?

The more planes in the sky, the more ‘excess CO2’ each flight causes. It’s just like congestion on the ground. Look at how the pandemic (when air traffic plummeted) reduced the ‘excess CO2’ per flight…

Kids: Dad, why do you take so many pics of the same thing? Me (in Grandpa voice): You see, back in my day, it cost a fortune to take photos. You had to buy the film, hope you got the right shot, and then pay to have the photos developed. When digital cameras came out it was both blessing and cur..

Great opportunity for Taylor Swift to talk to her fans about the perils of climate change, and the urgency of phasing out fossil fuels as soon as possible! With humidity, Rio felt like 58°C yesterday 😳

Imho this framing around “emissions cuts” rather than supply management is going to come back to haunt us. It places its hope in market shifts and technological change. But just wait, only a matter of time before emissions reductions targets get watered down or missed altogether.

This was likely the warmest October on record… and much of that relative warmth was concentrated in Canada’s high Arctic where in some places it was +10°C above the 1991-2020 average😳

1) It’s not inaccurate 2) It downplays potential of reducing ruminant herd as a way to reduce CH4 emissions 3) Personally I do see a socio-political logic to their arguments, but… 4) I’ve been accused of being a “methane centrist”😅 (I know some who’d waive away some of these claims as greenwashing)

The fossil fuel industry and their state supporters are doing everything within their power to ensure that the demand scenarios on the right don’t come true. For the sake of humanity we must not let them win this fight!

Apparently this is a “Modoki El Niño” which means that even though winter is starting off warmer across most of Canada, we could see intense blasts of cold as well. Here’s hoping!
