There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦‍♀️ for the facepalms. Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction #COP28FromHome 🧵

In 8 years of attending climate talks, I have never felt so much like we're getting real about what matters. It's kind of blowing my mind. Day 11 of #COP28, and the Arabic tradition of Majlis has Ministers talking straight about the realities of phasing out fossil fuels 🧵

An abrupt increase in area burned in BC - the top 5 years for area burned in the 1950-2024 period have occurred since 2017. In order, 2023, 2018, 2017, 2024 and 2021. Of course, 2024 is not over yet. More area burned during 2017-2024 than 1950-2016. What does the future hold?
