New paper is out!
We identified the worst crop shock every country experienced since 1961: the global average was −29%, with Botswana even losing 80% in a single year. Climate—especially drought—was the leading cause, although conflict is also a major contributor to crop failures. We can also see that the frequency of climate-driven shocks has doubled since the 1960s.
You can find the whole paper here: https://esd.copernicus.org/articles/17/151/2026/esd-17-151-2026.html
In the map below you can see the global distribution of the most severe shocks.

Wired: Rising Temperatures Are Taking a Toll on Sleep Health
As nights get hotter around the globe due to climate change, the prevalence of sleep apnea is expected to increase by as much as threefold.

Good News in Hard Times.
Whooo hooo!
ALL FIVE of Biden's giant offshore wind projects are back.
Trump cancelled all of them.
Over the last months every massive wind project has fought Trump in court. And won.
All five have been successful.

Every #climate scientist knows the GOP have been lying about basic facts and science for literally decades.

The media reports, over and over, how cold it is in the eastern US, but they're silent about how hot it is in the west. The lower-48 as a whole were almost a degree hotter than average in January.
And there's terrible snowpack in the west, critical for water supply, as what little precipitation has been rain.

My group is looking for 2️⃣ #research scientists in the field of #satellite 🛰️ remote sensing and data processing, to work in #Norway
One position (Tromsø or Oslo) will mostly be about #climate #SeaIce remote sensing from passive microwave sensors:
https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/294200/researcher
The other position (Bergen or Oslo) is mostly about #Ocean remote sensing from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions:
https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/294199/researcher-scientific-programmer
Both are 2-year positions, in the context of several projects we have with the #EuropeanSpaceAgency.
Please help and boost 🙌 .
A federal judge on Friday ruled the Energy Department violated the law when Secretary Chris Wright handpicked five researchers who reject the scientific consensus on #climate change to work in secret on a sweeping government report on global warming.
