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…

As Earth’s climate warms, the Gulf Stream and other Atlantic Ocean currents will slow down. A new and detailed simulation shows that the slowdown could vary from place to place, with some seas experiencing an abrupt collapse in circulation. go.aps.org/46cN9kW

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!

A new perspective in Nature Climate Change argues that the discourse around climate tipping points risks "oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action."

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

PBS Terra has a new documentary about the risk that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) is heading for collapse. 🌊 Well worth watching! I do have a few quibbles, though. In case you're interested, they are in my Bluesky thread. youtu.be/5R-PeI6wI3s?si…
