What is a #heatwave , I hear you ask?
I could talk to you about them for hours 😅
Here's the abridged version ⬇️🥵💃🌡

we're not in a La Nina.
We're in an El Nino, that's ending.
It's too early to say that La Nina is developing or 'taking hold'.
**IF** La Nina develops, there's no physical way that current warm ocean temperatures are a result of something that MIGHT happen in the future.

Decades of climate change and decades of climate scientists #AMOS2024

#AMOS2024 has come to an end. Our new president Marty Singh closes this amazing week. Thanks to our sponsors and partners: CSIRO canberra convention bureau ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes Vaisala Climate Systems Hub Risk Frontiers Australian Earth System Simulator (ACCESS-NRI) Bureau of Meteorology, Australia

Honoured to work with so many amazing women in science. Just a sample of the awesome women at the #amos2024 conference today, celebrating international women and girls in science day on Sunday 11 Feb.

David Karoly talks about the history of the AMOS conferences from the great hall at Parliament House #amos2024

Every 1/2 degree matters.
Every year matters.
Every choice matters.

The ACT rocks....because we run on renewable energy, our electricity price went up by only 20% compared to neighbouring states.
Renewables are so beneficial in many ways.
Mark Howden
#AMOS2024

Emissions in Australia have dropped by only 1.3% since 2005. And they went up between 2022 and 2023.
However.....
More Australians want action on climate change.
And renewables are being rapidly adopted by Australian homes.
Mark Howden #AMOS2024

It's cheaper to physically and permanently reduce emissions than to emit and let Earth suffer the consequences.
The problem? We're simply not acting rationally.

And another. #NetZero is not the right target. Negative zero is what we must aim for.
