@davidho.bsky.socialReposted by @iceybethan.bsky.socialWe need to be less hysterical about potential AMOC collapse in 2100 and way more hysterical about the actual mega El Niño in 2027.
@iceybethan.bsky.social"framing geoengineering as a solution to climate change was associated with lower worry about climate change and climate mitigation policy support"
One for you @mikebentley.bsky.social

@quaternaryra.bsky.socialReposted by @iceybethan.bsky.socialOn 18th Nov the QRA will be celebrating the first #QuaternaryPride following on from the success of #PolarPride.
But we need your help to cheer up our mammoth mascot by giving them a name! Comment or email [email protected] with your ideas by 18th October for the chance to WIN some QRA swag.
@zekehausfather.comReposted by @iceybethan.bsky.socialI often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:

@iceybethan.bsky.socialI want to say it was a pleasure, but it was pretty sad to be discussing the massive scale mass loss from Swiss glaciers with DW News today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzt5... @matthias-huss.bsky.social
@vaw-glaciology.bsky.socialReposted by @iceybethan.bsky.socialSwitzerland's glacier report 2026 is out.
Swiss glaciers have lost 5% of their ice volume this year. Only the last 5 years accounted for nearly 20% of the total ice loss across Switzerland. The numbers are devastating.

@iceybethan.bsky.socialYour feedback helps me to understand what is working well, and areas where I can make positive changes. It may be used to support future funding applications, to help keep AG running smoothly, freely available, to support payment of guest contributors, & maintenance, development and hosting costs.
@iceybethan.bsky.socialA final plea for teachers and educators: If you have used AntarcticGlaciers.org in your teaching, I would really love it if you could complete this survey. www.antarcticglaciers.org/2026/08/anta...

When does your favourite glacier go extinct?
This fab tool built by @landervt.bsky.social shows just how much every fraction of a degree matters.
@zekehausfather.comReposted by @iceybethan.bsky.socialThe world has made real progress in steering away from some of the darkest climate futures where global emissions doubled (or more) this century. But as David Wallace-Wells and I note in today's NYT, we are not out of the woods yet, and climate uncertainty is not our friend: www.nytimes.com/2026...
@iceybethan.bsky.socialMy feeling is that if you want to bring the politicians on side, it has to be focused on the economic impacts. Often not what motivates scientists but important for getting politicians to listen and take action
@frediotto.bsky.socialReposted by @iceybethan.bsky.socialWhat are known causal factors behind rock-ice avalanche near Nepal–Tibet border? @wwattribution.bsky.social Vulnerable slope, potentially weakened by 2015 earthquake, definitely destabilised by climate change through glacier retreat & permafrost thaw. www.worldweatherattribution.org/rapid-warmin...
@iceybethan.bsky.socialThe warmer our climate gets, the more unstable our mountains and the more likely the tragic events of August 26th in Nepal.
