Hard to believe I’m even writing this.
Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C than its annual average.

The electricity-to-gas price ratio is the biggest barrier to electrifying European homes.
Heat pumps deliver ~3 units of heat per unit of electricity. The maths works in Sweden but not everywhere.
Much of gap is policy.

The paper describing the ISIMIP3b simulation protocol and climate-related forcings from CMIP6 is now available in @egu.eu GMD. Encyclopedic reference work led by Katja Frieler and the ISIMIP core team @pik-potsdam.bsky.social. What an effort!

JUST DROPPED: For years I thought industrial electrification potential was limited.
How wrong I was.
Engineering studies point to 90%+. Long term scenarios support this.
Technology is much further ahead than we think. Question is whether policy keeps up.

How far can industry run on electricity?Much ffurther and faster than the 'hard-to-abate' label suggests.

Rainfall intensity matters as much as how much rain falls.
New in Nature: Corey Lesk and I show that daily-scale concentration of precipitation dries the land over the long-run, an effect as strong as total precipitation is climatological wetting.

Concentration of precipitation in large events decreases land water availability, and this effect will further increase with a future warming climate.
