Using the same attribution technique recently peer-reviewed in @NatureComms, preliminary analysis by @stonybrooku @somas Prof. Reed and team @MichaelFWehner shows more of the same for #Ian. Human-induced climate change increased #Ian extreme rain rates by over 10%. @SBUResearch
Human-induced climate change increased hourly rainfall amounts during the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season by up to 10% compared to pre-industrial levels, suggests a paper published in @NatureComms. go.nature.com/3vwgMMb

The National Hurricane Center has designated the tropical wave over the central Atlantic as Invest #96L. The current model guidance tracks this wave in a WNW direction toward the Lesser Antilles. The wave currently has a medium (40%) chance of formation.

Temperatures are now at or above all-time September monthly records along an axis approximately aligned with Interstate 80 from Sacramento to Salt Lake City. A few places are on pace to eclipse their all-time, any month records prior to sunset. #CAwx #UTwx #CAheat

Today's #SummerSolstice2022 is also the #ShowYourStripes Day when we use warming stripes to start conversation on #climatechange and related hazards such as #drought. Land-based solutions can provide 1/3 of climate mitigation to limit global warming to 1.5C by 2030 #UNited4Land

As we saw today in Phillips Station, our #snowpack has dwindled to zero on May 1. No snow to measure. The lack of frozen water reserve is alarming. Let's do all we can to reduce our water use as much as possible. See more photos taken today: pixel-ca-dwr.photoshelter.co…

The significance of the current Indian/Pakistani heatwave is less about smashing records (though various records have fallen) and more about very long duration. The last ~6 weeks have been repeatedly challenging the top of the historical range and baking this part of the world.

If there’s one takeaway from the new IPCC report, it's this: The cost to halt global warming is so minimal that the change in annual GDP growth would be about 1/10th of 1%—smaller than a rounding error. The cost of inaction, however, is devastating. economist.com/the-economist-…

The @IPCC_CH just released its biggest #ClimateMitigation report in nearly a decade. Let’s break it down: ✔️ Fossil fuels aren't needed anymore ✔️ The clean energy transition can drive economic growth ✔️ Governments needed to reduce emissions yesterday hubs.ly/Q017kx7Y0

Lake Powell is shrinking. These photos were taken 9 months apart (Top photo 6/23/21 - Bottom photo 3/27/22) at Lake Powell's Lone Rock Beach in Utah. Water levels at the lake are at their lowest level since the lake was created in 1963 by damming the Colorado River. #drought

Early warning systems save lives. This #WorldMetDay, I'm proud to announce that the @UN will lead new action to ensure every person on Earth is protected by early warning systems within five years. We must boost the power of prediction for everyone.
