John Clarke, my previous advisor and co-author from UC Berkeley, won the Nobel Prize in Physics! John is not only brilliant, he is also a really kind and genuinely nice person to be around. It makes me very happy that someone like John won this prestigious award. Congrats!

New paper with @Peters_Glen in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.
Hvor mye norsk olje og gass er i tråd med Parisavtalen? Jeg snakker om dette på Energi og Klima sin podkast. @CICERO_klima

Regjeringen bruker klimascenarioer på en kreativ måte for å forsvare norsk olje- og gasspolitikk. Intervju med meg selv og @BardLahn e24.no/energi-og-klima/i/1Mo… @CICERO_klima
Vi hører stadig at det ikke er noen motsetning mellom leteaktivitet på norsk sokkel og en verden som oppfyller Parisavtalen. Dette er basert på feil bruk av scenarioer og svake argumenter. Jeg skriver i @Morgenbladet @CICERO_klima @Peters_Glen @BardLahn morgenbladet.no/ideer/kommen…
Hvilken rolle spiller usikkerhet for fortsatt leting etter olje og gass? Ny spalte i @Morgenbladet denne uken:

Vil CO2-fangst og -lagring (CCS) stå igjen som en nødvendig teknologi, eller en dyr distraksjon? Insentiver peker i flere retninger. Ny spalte i @Morgenbladet denne uken: morgenbladet.no/ideer/kommen…
@CICERO_klima @Peters_Glen
Thanks @Peters_Glen for this succinct summary of my most recent @Morgenbladet column!
Mathematical models are useful tools, but can also disguise politics as science.
Models might find the 'cheapest' way to <2°C, but not necessarily an equitable (or realistic) way. More equitable ways are rarely investigated.

Fokus på effektivitet fremfor fordeling i modellanalyser bidrar til at scenarioer for hvordan verden kan nå klimamålene er urettferdige. Ny spalte i @Morgenbladet denne uka: morgenbladet.no/ideer/kommen…

«We need more low-carbon pathways developed outside of IAMs»

Stemmer det at 1,5-gradersmålet er kjørt? Og i så fall, hvor er vi på vei? Ny spalte ute i @Morgengladet i dag! En kort 🧵

Til tross for at 1,5 gradersmålet ble fastholdt under klimatoppmøtet i Egypt tyder utslippstrender og prognoser på at dette ikke lenger er oppnåelig. Med dagens utslipp vil vi sprenge 1,5 gradersbudsjettet om ni år. Og utslippene peker i feil retning. @gcarbonproject

My preview in @Joule_CP is out today! In it, I reflect on Odenweller et al.'s recent paper in @NatureEnergyJnl and discuss some general challenges associated with probabilistic feasibility assessments of future technology deployment

Thanks to @Peters_Glen for an excellent English summary of my most recent column in @Morgenbladet!
The story that we necessarily have to choose between what is good for the economy & what is good for the climate is an old story that has been accepted uncritically for far too long.

Mitt første bidrag til @Morgenbladet sin Dyrtid spalte: historien om at vi nødvendigvis må velge mellom det som er bra for økonomien og det som er bra for klimaet, er en gammel historie som er blitt akseptert ukritisk altfor lenge

Looking forward to reading this new article by the @INETOxford crowd! The finding that climate mitigation could bring economic gains rather than costs is not only important, but also challenges what the majority of IAMs have previously found.
A fast transition to renewables would likely save the world $12 trillion in energy costs vs our dirty, expensive fossil fuel system today. @INETOxford and @TheSmithSchool new peer reviewed paper in @Joule_CP cell.com/joule/pdf/S2542-435…
Climate scenarios vs. Reality? I talk about this with @chrisnelder in his most recent episode of the Energy Transition Show. Listen in if you want to know more about the models behind the scenarios, their assumptions, and part of the reason why the models choose CCS
In Ep. 176, @idasogn explains what climate integrated assessment models (IAMs) mean (and don't mean) and shares her surprising research findings, including: What if mitigation models select CCS as an artifact, and not because it would actually help? bit.ly/3Ihxhl0
We're hiring an early-career researcher for a permanent position in the Climate Mitigation group at CICERO. Want to join a great team? Apply by May 30th. jobbnorge.no/en/available-jo…
Happy to have our paper on projecting future emissions out in @NatureClimate today. Thanks to everyone in the @ParisReinforce team and @Peters_Glen at @CICERO_klima for a great effort! 1/2
For a good thread describing our key findings, I recommend @Peters_Glen thread from today. The full paper is here: nature.com/articles/s41558-0…. 2/2
