Scientists and local stakeholders in Kerala, India recently came together to talk sea-level rise, shoreline change, algal blooms and how to adapt a coast under pressure.
Clear needs. Strong local voices. Useful science.

How old is the sea ice in the Arctic, and why does that matter?
We’ve just released a new sea-ice age dataset covering 1991–2024. It helps researchers track the decline of older, thicker ice & improve climate studies, model evaluation & safe traffic in the region. @met.no

I recently had a chat with Bob Grove for the climate hour about Arctic climate and tipping points, its out now online and on the air climategkc.org/climate-hour/
The tide seems to be finally turning on global coal, as both China and India are now adding enough clean energy to reduce their coal generation: www.carbonbrief.org/...
Where do our CO2 emissions come from, and where do they end up?
I made this little summary - and you can see why reducing the use of fossil fuels remains the most important tool we have for slowing climate change:

Back in 2012 we did a figure comparing historical emissions to previous generations of emission scenarios. rdcu.be/brDGx
Surprisingly, the figure is still doing the rounds. We update it every year, with many interesting changes primarily due to revisions in land-use change emissions.

Eye-opening presentation about demographic decline from Jesús Fernández-Villaverde. He thinks population will peak and begin to fall in 2055, much earlier than UN projections.
This problem is solvable with policies that respect peoples autonomy.

India’s coastline faces rapid environmental change – nowhere more visible than in the state of Kerala. A recent conference brought together international and
