Our new paper out today in Nature Geoscience! We identify the possibility of rapid changes in the distance warm water can intrude - and melt - the bottom of ice sheets. nature.com/articles/s4156… Bryony Freer and I wrote an explainer for Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/guest-post-the…


NEW – ‘Every 0.1C’ of overshoot above 1.5C increases risk of crossing tipping points | Ayesha Tandon w/ comment from Annika Högner @TessaMoeller97 David A. McKay (@[email protected]) Read here: buff.ly/3WrtNnx




🚨 New episode alert! 🚨 There's tons of talk right now about climate tipping points — this idea that planet Earth is on the brink of irreversible climate disaster. So ... what's the science?? Are we really on a knife's edge? Spotify Podcasts 🎙 open.spotify.com/episode/00scYN…

Our work with International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration has uncovered known and unexpected processes shaping #ThwaitesGlacier and West Antarctica Latest models predict: 📈 accelerating ice loss in the 21st/22nd centuries 💧 collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the 23rd ➡️ ow.ly/4AYz50TrEzC


The dangers of a collapse of the main Atlantic Ocean circulation, known as Amoc, have been “greatly underestimated” and would have devastating impacts, according to an open letter by 44 experts. One of the signatories, Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 tells me why theguardian.com/environment/20…

New post: Are Earth's natural carbon sinks collapsing? climatetippingpoints.info/2024/12/03/car… Following recent stories on the global carbon sink "collapsing" in 2023, we look at recent claims & put them in context of the latest research. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateFeedbacks #CarbonSinks #SciComm

New post from me at ClimateTippingPoints.info on recent stories on carbon sinks "collapsing" last year and Earth's "buffering capacity" reaching its limits, putting it in to context of past trends and future projections. A bit of a lukewarm take by now, but hopefully a useful explainer!


I've got a commentary out today in the new Dialogues on Climate Change journal, summarising progress so far in research on climate #TippingPoints, and reflecting on their implications for climate action & the outlook for future research: doi.org/10.1177/297686… #ClimateChange #OpenAccess
