Our new paper is now online #QJRMS @RMetS. We investigated the IOD-Anatrctic teleconnection in reanalysis and a set of CMIP5 and CMIP6 models using a novel statistical technique named LRTM. Read the paper at: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Congrats to Prof. Rintu Banerjee who has created a historical breakthrough by being the first woman to take over the charge of a Deputy Director of @IITKgp, the first IIT of the country.
Many Congrats!

Breaking News!
March came in at 1.68°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, making it the 10th consecutive month at an all time recorded high, and the 9th consecutive month breaking the Paris limit of 1.5°C.

Global air temperatures remaining much higher than normal for the time of year.
And El Nino is only just starting.
We expect to see more devastating extreme weather events, especially in Australia, South America & Asia in the coming months.

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences.
Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022.
The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

It finally happened, breaking 5 sigma, the same statistical threshold physicists used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson.
At 2,700,000 km² below the 1991-2020 mean, Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.14σ below the mean, roughly a 1-in-7,400,000 chance.

I found #COP27 hard, but it's great to see that the #cryosphere made it into the cover text. Big well done to @iccinet for the persistence to make that happen!

Wow this footage of @elonmusk watching the first successful Falcon 1 launch is something else 🤣
SpaceX would have died if this didn’t work. I can’t imagine what he was going through.

My latest piece is currently "Most viewed" on the Guardian.
"The movie #DontLookUp is satire. But speaking as a climate scientist, it’s also the most accurate film about society’s terrifying non-response to climate breakdown I’ve seen."

#COP26 Last day - the success of COP rests on how willing the Developed World is to help fund the decarbonisation of the least Developed countries - this is about history legacy 👇 and trust. Hence why the $100
Billion is so symbolic. Let’s hope the final statement is positive

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others. 🧠
