PyPSA has come a long way from Jonas Hörsch and me hacking away in 2015, trying to create a tool that would meet our needs and we'd want to use. Great to see so many other folks enjoying PyPSA too, and how the development has become so professional over the years.

Ah, the "Indicators of Global Climate Change" also have past editions linked in the right navigation column and operate in a similar format (with limited changed and expedited peer review).

I've just published an update to the PRIMAP-hist historical greenhouse gas emissions dataset. As always it's available from Zenodo.
There's an important difference to the previous datasets: the data is no longer published under a CC-BY license, but under CC-BY-NC-SA. (1/3)

Great to finally see it out! I have to admit that I'm loving and excited to work with polar scientists! Congrats to the authors! Now, can I call myself a polar illustrator...? 🤔

New paper out today in @nature Geosciences:
The Greenlandification of Antarctica

The Greenlandification of Antarctica | Nature Geoscience

Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

Interesting-looking new article into how social practices in the football industry are flight-intensive.

There's been much research on how that's the case within academia, but I feel like we've been overlooking other sectors... doi.org/10.1080/2331...

A vast majority of people globally is in favor of climate action:

"Our findings reveal widespread support for climate action. [...] 69% [...] expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income [...] and 89% demand intensified political action."

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change

Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate action, while a perception gap exists regarding other citizens’ intention to act.

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

That sounds very interesting, but might be of limited help with a case of "[reviewer 2] did not seem to like the results and no matter how well we responded, there were always new ‘problems’."

Thinking what it would have been like in one of the journals with immediate public peer review.

The new transparency for peer review in Nature journals is good I think, but odd that it's only for the final paper - reviews like yours become only known if you decide to write about them.

"In a way, this manuscript is a reinstantiation of Wynne and Keepin's analysis of the 1984 IIASA Energy Study
[...] though much less confrontational" in the review made it quite clear that this was not someone who wants to delay your manuscript. 😄
