Looking for the latest climate information on a specific topic or for a certain region? There are many fantastic webinar series (both live and recorded) that are free and available! Here are four of my favourites (see thread):
1/ The regional US Climate Science Adaptation Centers (I'm part of the South Central one!) have a webinar series called "Science You Can Use". It focuses on ecosystems, forests, birds, fish, and more. Sign up for live events + view past recordings here: casc.usgs.gov/webinars
2/ The @NOAA Science Seminar Series tackles everything from the well-being of sponges in the Florida Keys to the latest advances in weather prediction. See what's up next and sign up for their mailing list here: nodc.noaa.gov/seminars/
3/ @ClimateCentral has a long list of webinars on topics relevant to broadcast meteorologists, but recordings are open to all. Recent topics include everything from the economics of climate change to communication tips. See: medialibrary.climatecentral.org/workshops-and-…
4/ As part of the @NOAA webinars, there is a new series starting next week. It's called, "From Science to Solutions: The State of the Carbon Cycle" and it presents highlights from the "other" Black Friday climate report, carbon2018.globalchange.gov. See:
carboncyclescience.us/news/new-webin…
5/ For engineers interested in learning more about how to incorporate climate information into design and maintenance, the Infrastructure + Climate Network has a carefully curated series of recorded webinars here: theicnet.org/?page_id=24
Do you know of a useful and relevant webinar series that I missed? Add it here!
"Sea Level Rise from Melting Ice Sheets, and What We Should Do About It" by glaciologist and sea level rise expert @erignot is a public lecture hosted by @theNASEM but it's also available to watch live online, next Wed Mar 27 at 7PM : eventbrite.com/e/public-lectu…

Here’s 3 myths the US president believes...and our Global Weirding episode that tackles each one (thread). Other countries including China know the truth and will capitalize financially if we don’t come to our senses. It’s sixth-grade science! ... (thread)
Myth 1: climate change is a hoax and those scientists are always changing their minds.
Truth:
Myth 2: climate is weather, and one cold day or week disproves decades of warming
Truth:

When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.
The very first (and still relevant) goal was expressed in the @UNFCCC. It was drafted at the Earth Summit in Rio and adopted in May 1992. It calls for "stabilizing atmospheric CO2 [in ppm] to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system." Here is the full text:
Since then, there have been 24 "Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC" or COP mtgs. The most recent was in Katowice, Poland. The next is in Santiago, Chile. COPs are not scientific mtgs: they are primarily attended by formal delegations from each nation that's a party to the UNFCCC

“Information is not enough for people to act.” #climate psychology, activism and anxiety by @FridaHylander at @SkaneXr @LUCSUS_LU
What's needed for people to #ActOnClimate? @FridaHylander uses "Model of helping" to understand #climate psychology.
To motivate action, people need to:
1. notice an event
2. interpret the problem as an emergency
3. feel personal responsibility.
1. Notice event- barriers to notice #climatechange include:
Humans perceive emotionally, not rationally
Slow gradual threats seen as risky as fast, vivid ones
"villains" are easier to blame than nature
Living in cities, far from nature
fragmented knowledge

#climate twitter! I want to donate 10% of my 2019 income where it will do the most good to reduce emissions. Would love to hear your take on the most effective orgs (in this thread or private DM). Thanks! Ping @drvox @KHayhoe @Fisher_DanaR @AmyAHarder @LeehiYona @EricHolthaus
As I replied to @EricHolthaus- I'm aware of and inspired by @givingwhatwecan & @GiveWell work on global health/poverty; I personally want to support climate mitigation. I realize there's no one right answer, depends on theory of change etc; curious to hear different perspectives.
Esp. in climate arena where impact could be on different possible levels (eg X tons avoided from cookstoves vs Y tons #fossil CO2 kept in the ground vs systemic political or economic change)- curious to hear diverse range of theory of change or evidence of effectiveness.

1. On 10 December) the CJEU (aka the ECJ) gave its ruling in Case C-621/18 Wightman. It held that a Member State may unilaterally revoke the notice that it has given under Article 50 TEU to leave the EU, in accordance with its constitutional procedures.
2. I was not involved in the case in any way. Having seen some of the tweets on the subject over the last ten days, I offer – for what they are worth – the following short personal comments.
3. First, the Court of Session, which made the reference, had heard and rejected the UK Government’s argument that the case was hypothetical. The CJEU does not second-guess national courts on the application of national law.

Just returned from Bangkok, where nations made little progress towards finalising the Paris agreement on climate change that aims to limit global temperature rises over the next 80 years.

It was my first @UN #climate change rodeo and there were a few things I wasn't aware of
Under Paris, countries agreed to a fairly detailed set of promises to keep global temperature rises under 2C by 2100.

It was the first time all nations - both developed and developing economies - signed up to the same set of climate rules. But they weren't binding
Parties gave themselves in effect 3 years to come up with a text agreed by everyone, ratified, and translated into national law on a state-by-state basis. The idea is the accord isn't legally binding, but the rulebook it provides could be on a national level

Just a reminder: the European Parliament has so far commissioned from experts dozens of impact assessments or studies on #Brexit in 14 broad fields. They don't necessarily constitute the EP's official position but are all free & available here: europarl.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/… Thread 1/6
They include studies on the areas in which the European Parliament has set red lines for its approval of any Article 50 deal, such as #citizensrights europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… & the effect of #Brexit on the #peaceprocess in Northern Ireland europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… 2/6
The studies on #Brexit also cover other critical topics such as the internal market and #consumerprotection europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… and #financialservices europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes… 3/6
