This year’s General Assembly of an EU project ESM2025 - building Earth system models for the future is taking place at PIK in Potsdam.
https://www.esm2025.eu/

It’s great to see my colleagues again and discuss how we make our models more comprehensive. The focus thereby is on including interactive cycles of not only CO2 but also CH4 and N2O in ESMs - very exciting 🤗

When the project meeting has a dedicated communication team, it’s every step is documented 😊

When published its update "April 2024 was warmer globally than any previous April in the data record" I heard it in a casual radio message, followed by an update on football.

Even though I have to deal with professionally, the realization that we are in an uncharted climate territory does not make it any less mind-boggling. Casually mentioning this unfolding threat to our civilization in between the really relevant news and sports borders with denialism.

@NatureMC
I am fully with you about mainstream way of reporting. What bothers me is that in a society in which trivial physical facts about climate change were made a topic of political debate with purposeful disinformation campaigns, the audience would be expectedly confused. How should non-experts on climate change interpret the casual news? There is lack of guidance on this. The most frequent question I get here is "I am concerned about climate change, what can I do?" 1/2

@TatianaIlyina@mas.to avatar

@NatureMC 2/2 What I would wish to hear along a mainstream reporting on temperature / climate extremes is also a casual update on climate action / inaction, update on the progress in expanding renewable energy and other solutions. Without this there is information vacuum.

Anlässlich der bevorstehenden #Europawahl, haben wir mit den älteren Kids #wahlomat gemacht und sind wenig überraschend zu ähnlichen Ergebnissen gekommen, was wohl an der höheren Gewichtung von Thesen zum Klimaschutz liegt.

Warum sollte der Ausstieg aus fossilen Brennstoffen überhaupt eine parteispezifische These sein? Oder gar ein Streitthema zwischen Parteien? Das ist doch für alle lebenswichtig, unabhängig von unseren politischen Vorlieben. Nur der genaue Weg dorthin wäre parteiabhängig.

TatianaIlyina,
@TatianaIlyina@mas.to avatar

Und dann gibt es noch parteispezifische Thesen, die die Leugnung des Klimawandels thematisieren. Und das im Jahr 2024, wenn es nicht die Klimaforscher, sondern die Natur selbst sind, die uns zahlreiche Beweise für den vom Menschen verursachten Klimawandel liefert.

The bar is on the floor hier liebe Leute! Wissenschaftsleugnung ist offenbar auch eine politische These.

Eine einfache Suche liefert eine Reihe personalisierter Online-Rechner für den CO2-Fußabdruck. Ich habe wirklich keinen Favoriten, vielleicht weil ich immer wissen möchte, wie genau sie sie erstellt haben, welche Daten verwendet werden und wie sie mit den Unsicherheiten umgehen 🤯
Ich schaue oft nach https://ourworldindata.org
Sie sind ziemlich dynamisch mit Daten zum Klimawandel.

An incomplete list of inappropriate comments I received from my male colleagues recently:

  • You look furious.
  • You have a quiet voice. A woman from Ukraine in our department also has a quiet voice.
  • You look nervous.
  • You gave me an angry look at the elevator and I didn't dare to discuss a project with you.
  • You are so modest.
  • You don't have to get so confrontational.

They reduce our professional interactions to an imaginary emotional state of mine.

Do men talk like this to each other?

Is it too much to ask to avoid gender biases in professional communication, at least for well educated and supposedly informed academics?

@DebR @grb090423
I recently talked to an esteemed female professor who has been around for a couple of decades longer than me and is very used to being the only women in the room. She explained that (1) male colleagues don't behave the same with each other and (2) this behavior is not ill-minded. On (2), I am trying to adopt this belief. As to (1), this is why I occasionally give it a shout-out in the hope that my male colleagues want to hear.

Just learned that a very promising early career scientist in my discipline has left academia, not seeing a desired career future for herself here. That company is lucky to get her. Yet, it saddens me enormously that it is often the most dynamic, brilliant, curious once, who are challenging status quo, committed to diversity and making our world a better place, who are leaving .

What are we doing wrong to make academic careers so unattractive for the best young minds?

Once upon a time, only about 650 million years ago, our Earth was a snowball. What was the aftermath #greenhouse #climate triggering deglaciation and the ocean's role in it?

We addressed this intriguing scientific question via a set of #EarthSystemModel experiments in the new Nature Communication paper "Moderate greenhouse climate and rapid carbonate formation after Marinoan snowball Earth" led by Lennart Ramme within his PhD project.

What happens after a snowball Earth melts?

With the new #EarthSystemModel ICON, we find that the supergreenhouse climate was not necessarily a stable and hot climate over hundreds of thousands of years. It is also possible that the temperatures were moderate and even declined rapidly, on a time scale of just a few thousand years, in response to changes in the ocean C-cycle.

Was für ein merkwürdiges Phänomen. Immer wenn ich meinen Prof. Titel in einem Anmeldeformular nenne, beispielsweise für eine Hotelreservierung auf Dienstreisen, werde ich mit „Herr Professor“ angesprochen.

Im Gegenteil, wenn mein Mann alleine mit den Kids reiste, wurde er in der Hotelrechnung als "Liebe Frau xxx..." genannt.

Die der 1960er Jahre muss diejenigen, die solche Formen herstellen, stark beeindruckt haben - I have no other explanation 😉

The growing reality of climate refugees - a resonating article by Wambui Mbuthia.

Climate change is not a sudden eviction notice for millions of displaced people. It is a slow and relentless erosion, chipping away livelihoods and forcing difficult choices.

In 2022 alone, more than 7.4 million people across #Africa were displaced due to climate shocks, adding to existing conflicts and instability.

Shell abandons 2035 emissions target and weakens 2030 goal.

Cynical victim blaming from a major fossil fuel polluter:
“if society is not net-zero in 2050… there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target”. This is familiar language from the oil major, which frequently explains that it is consumers, not Shell itself, that influence fossil-fuel use. —Carbon Brief

Does this happen to you?

I was advised to never ever use childcare responsibilities as a justification for unavailability, e.g. when rejecting meetings at late hours. Well, because, someone could think that I am not serious about science or that my kids are more important to me than my science, or something like this 🙄

But when a male colleague tells about skipping a meeting because his child is sick, everyone goes like "ah, he is such a good father!" (and a good scientist of course, anyway)

@pkw yes, yes, yes, fully agree 👏 (male) monocultures produce self-reinforcing mechanisms to maintain status quo. Don't want to stretch too far, but inaction on climate change is one good example of how status quo is harming us all.
