Evaluating Physical Climate Model Emulators for Global Warming Projections We propose a novel framework for evaluating physical climate model emulators for use in global warming projections Calibrating a widely used emulator to match the historical warming of GCMs does ...

A nice example of the high scientific standard of the IPCC when it comes to downplay the warming

Complex Earth system models are needed to simulate all these feedback's now becoming operational

The Great Ocean Sync: How Melting Arctic Ice Links the World’s Most Powerful Currents This blog post and the β€œDeep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on β€œEvolving synchronization of the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension in a changing climate” by Joh et al. (202…

Have you noticed synchronized SST anomalies between the Pacific and Atlantic in global maps? It’s not a coincidence. According to a new study in Science Advances by Joh et al. (2026), this "oceanic handshake" is directly linked to the retreat of Arctic sea ice. 🌊πŸ§ͺ ocean2climate.org/2026/03/01/t...

Greece to Acquire Nazi Execution Photographs That Were Up for Sale Online

There are big fascists and there are small fascists. You don’t see the latter. They hide behind the big fascists. But they can inflict as much damage.

Isaacman Wants to Restore NASA’s Core Competencies Posted: February 6, 2026 5:49 pm ET | Last Updated: February 6, 2026 5:57 pm ET | NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman issued a Workforce Directive on February 6, 2026 to restore NASA's core competencies...

This is very promising new from the NASA administrator after Congress, in a bipartisan manner, restored deep cuts proposed by the WH. NOAA and NSF budgets were also mostly restored. Checks and balances still have a faint pulse...

It should not be only of European economies. The impacts will be large I other areas of the world; in systems like the Amazon and the Indian monsoons.
