Professor @ETH_en, @IPCC_CH WGI Vice-chair #Climate #Extremes #Land #AR6 #SR15 Bluesky: @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social Citizen/mum/scientist. Personal account.
Joined April 2018
As climate scientist & author of the @IPCC_CH #SR15 report, I reiterate its main conclusion, confirmed in the #AR6: 0.5°C of global warming matters. Yes, the window for 1.5°C is closing, but it remains that there is no guarantee that we would be safe at 2°C of global warming.
Message to fellow climate scientists & #ClimateTwitter: After seeing many variations on theme "Are we going to reach a catastrophe in 12 years?”, I think it could be more helpful if we were focusing instead on: "How much climate change can still be considered safe?” (Thread; 1/n)

Insightful thread from @ZombiePanther2 on fires in Los Angeles. See also recent study from @XaidaProject climate scientists showing that this event was made more probable & intense due to human-induced climate change: @DaviFaranda @ClimaMeter @valmasdel
These fires are traumatic and confusing for everyone. But it’s important for our safety and mental health to understand the context of the moment we’re in. Here is a thread of easily shared info regarding the fires, climate & the news media’s failure to report on climate etc.
