This sucks!! GFDL is really one of the best places for climate modelling there is!
This is really sad news. NOAA GFDL is one of the world's leading climate modeling centers, home to exceptional scientists. If anyone directly affected needs support, I’m happy to help. www.science.org/content/arti...
NOAA firings hit the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting
Dismissed researchers were improving severe weather predictions

Are you serious @royalsociety.org?? He is trying to destroy science, spreading dangerous misinformation, inciting violence & your response is to do nothing?
So what’s your purpose then? What do you exist for? Other than being elite?

And here is a great piece in The Conversation my colleagues @taimoorsohail.bsky.social and Bishakhdatta Gayen have written on our paper that just got published. theconversation.com/melting-anta... @bjerknes.bsky.social
Melting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profound
Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current down 20% by 2050.

New research out today with colleagues Bishakhdatta Gayen and Andreas Klocker projects that the world’s strongest current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, may slow by 20% by 2050 in a high emissions future. So happy to have this out for the world to read!
