It was a pleasure and fun to do this mini-explainer for #IPCC during #COP27 (and a bit stressful!)

🔹 What is #climatechange? 🔹 What is climate change mitigation? 🔹 How do we reduce remissions? 📹 #IPCC WGIII's Senior Scientist @DrAlaaClimate answered these questions for us at #COP27. Read our reports to find out more about #climatechange ➡️ ipcc.ch

With the latest set of El Niño forecasts, NOAA's CFSv2 model needs to get a larger y-axis scale 😯 cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/C…

I've been privileged over the years to write a sequence energy modelling methodology papers with (now Professor) Steve Pye of UCL, along with a rotating cast of amazing people. The latest dropped today in @NatureEnergyJnl ➡️ rdcu.be/e2tt6

This is fundamentally incorrect. To varying levels of commercialization we know how to do all industrial processes with electricity directly or indirectly with hydrogen. With a high level of certainty we can reduce all industry GHGs to near zero with electricity, H2 & CCUS.
Honeywell CEO: Renewables replacing fossil fuels is physically impossible - Energy mix doesn’t matter - Energy intensity matters - Renewables can’t produce energy-intensive products In other words, the push for renewables is a push for deindustrialization of energy-intensive industry.

Do climate conferences actually achieve anything? A lot of people have strong opinions, but we wanted measurements, so we look at how the stock market moves during yearly international meetings called COPs – explanation below, or read the paper here: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

New OA paper “Defining ‘abated’ fossil fuel & industrial process emissions" in Energy & Climate Change. We provide 4 criteria: 1) Max fugitive methane, 2) Min capture rate, 3) Storage Permanence, 4) CDR for the residual 🧵@DrAlaaClimate @ColumbiaUEnergy doi.org/10.1016/j.egycc.2025…

Our new paper updating key metrics in the IPCC is now out, and the news is grim: ⬆️ Human induced warming now at 1.36C ⬆️ Rate of warming now 0.27C / decade ⬆️ Sharp increase in Earth's energy imbalance ⬇️ Remaining 1.5C carbon budget only 130 GtCO2

Can deep learning 🤖️generate climate mitigation scenarios 🌍 like IAMs? We show yes!Our DL-based generative model produces 30,000 IPCC-aligned synthetic scenarios in seconds — matching key energy and emissions patterns. 📄 @NatureClimate doi.org/10.1038/s41558-025-0…

I do hope we are scraping the very bottom of the Conservatives’ barrel
Just when you thought the Tories could stoop no lower. They’re going to vote to block our plans to protect vulnerable children — all for a cheap headline. Sickening. They are unfit to govern.
