Une majorité de plateformes glaciaires de l’Antarctique menacées à long terme, dans un scénario pessimiste de poursuite du réchauffement climatique
La survie de ces langues de glace, déterminantes pour l’élévation du niveau marin, dépendra du niveau des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, selon des modélisations publiées par la revue « Nature ».

I am happy and proud to present our #platformist team effort out in @nature.com!

We examine if, when, and why #Antarctic #ice shelves will no longer be viable, at the latest, due to changes in #atmosphere and #ocean conditions.
A little 🧵 for the experts...

Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves - Nature
The viability of Antarctic ice shelves under low rates and high rates of global warming is modelled to estimate when it will become unfeasible for the ice shelves to maintain their present-day shape.

This is AI2ES, my AI institute. No way around it other than to say this is really awful. We are doing so many amazing things! We want to keep doing amazing things but without this level of funding, we will not be able to do so.
Another blow to meteorological R&D this morning, as it was confirmed that NSF is terminating funding for its main weather and earth science focused AI research institute led by the Univ. of Oklahoma. Also - a LOT of weather to talk about, especially in the West. More: https://tinyurl.com/mr2znbdb

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.
GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.
This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

Awful. More horrible science news
"The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

In 2024, Paris banned cars from its city center to make room for cyclists and pedestrians with remarkable pollution reduction as a result. Earlier this year, Parisians voted to create even more car-free zones in the city.

87 years ago.
In April 1938, Guy Callendar published the first evidence from thermometer observations that the world’s land areas were warming.
He also linked the observed warming to the increase in atmospheric CO₂ from burning coal.

It is heartbreaking and terrifying at the same time. For the people working there but also for climate science and our abilities to cope with climate change. This will have repercussions well beyond the US… Really really scary times
Cuts to #science of >50% at NASA and >75% at NOAA would end US climate and space science research.
NASA cuts are '...an "extinction level" event': arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...
"At this funding level, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research is eliminated...": www.science.org/content/arti...
