Formation of California's #SaltonSea in 1905-07 was not "accidental" as everyone claims. My new paper published in the Proceedings of the 2020 Desert Research Symposium explains: researchgate.net/publication/34… #ColoradoRiver #hydrology #history #rivers #science


Higher temperatures are causing evaporative demand to play a larger role than reduced precipitation in #drought. Evaporation accounted for 61% of the 2020-2022 western drought’s severity, while reduced precipitation accounted for only 39%. #ClimateChange drought.gov/news/new-resea…

New study re #ColoradoRiver: #Drought vulnerability analyses relying only on the historical streamflow record may severely underestimate the magnitude of potential drought events and their impacts on #water storage, agriculture, and municipal water supply. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…


New study: #SeaLevelRise of 1 meter by 2100 (which is likely to be exceeded) would harmfully affect over 14 million people and $1 trillion in property value along the Southeast Atlantic coast of the US from Norfolk, Virginia, to Miami, Florida. #climate nature.com/articles/s4155…


New warning from #Antarctic researchers: "Runaway ice loss causing rapid and catastrophic #SeaLevelRise is possible within our lifetime." "To describe it as anything other than an emergency, sells these drastic changes short." #ClimateChange #emissions amp-abc-net-au.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.abc.ne…


Every hurricane this season was turbocharged and made more intense than it should have been, study finds buff.ly/3YWQOzR via @CNN #ClimateCentral



.@USFWS proposes federal protection for plummeting populations of giraffes to "help protect a vulnerable species, foster biodiversity, support ecosystem health, combat wildlife trafficking, and promote sustainable economic practices." #EndangeredSpecies washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…


New study: Models underestimate the speed at which #AMOC will weaken because of man-made #ClimateChange. "It is very likely (90–100% probability) that the AMOC will weaken faster than CMIP6 projections" if the effects of #Greenland meltwater on ocean circulation are considered.

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 nature.com/articles/s4156…

#ClimateChange 🌡️ 1.5°C exceptional warming is caused by human GHG emissions 🏭 We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes We are taking Earth’s 🌎 climate beyond natural limits, with CO2 & temps levels not seen for 3 million years @COP29_AZ


Plankton, the essential foundation of marine ecosystems, are struggling to survive as #ClimateChange heats the world's #oceans and alters circulation patterns, and as our emitted CO2 acidifies the water. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…


2024 Global Carbon Project report: Carbon emissions from fossil fuels reached a new global record high this year. Despite the urgent need to cut emissions to slow #climate change, there is “no sign” the world has reached a peak in fossil CO2 #emissions. eurekalert.org/news-releases/…


"We cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice." State of the Cryosphere Report 2024: Current #climate commitments will yield >2°C warming & result in global ice loss that will cause "disastrous and irreversible consequences for billions of people." iccinet.org/statecryo24/#:….
