For those who’ve asked about the potential impacts of El Niño - here’s a map that shows what it can do to rainfall patterns around the world. And for the latest El Niño forecasts: iri.columbia.edu/our-experti…

10 degrees F above normal. A mother of ocean heat waves and at least for now an East based event. It can be disastrous to local fisheries off the coast of Peri and Ecuador. This is where El Nino got it's name. The warmth is beginning to translate west into the central Pacific.

Thx for this important PSA. @Borabeet and I spend the better part of two lectures on 6Am other audience segmentation analyses. Super important for climate commers and scientists to understand!

On climate change, we often assume people are either believers or deniers.
I don't like either label, because climate change is not a religion.
Instead, I prefer the 6 categories identified by @YaleClimateComm for the US. climatecommunication.yale.ed…

Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative. Great commentary by @_david_ho_ for @Nature nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

As talk of #ElNino ramps up, here’s an oldie-but-goodie by @NWSCPC climate scientist Michelle L’Heureux on the Spring Predictability Barrier. Great resource for reporters trying to communicate the latest forecasts: climate.gov/news-features/bl…

"Women can code too! We are out here doing it!" At both our West Africa & East and Southern Africa regional trainings on the #NextGen approach, these are the faces of the #women coding in Python to bring the best-available seasonal forecasts to their countries!#womeninscience👩🏽🔬💻
ALT Women from the West Africa regional #NextGen (PyCPT2) seasonal forecasting training pause for a photo in Lomé, Togo. The training has equipped 7 countries and the regional climate center (AGRHYMET) with the knowledge and skills to produce accurate, timely, and understandable seasonal climate forecasts.

Take action! Designate Hudson Canyon as a National Marine Sanctuary. Use this easy form set up by @TheWCS to let @NOAA administrator @rickspinradnoaa know how valuable this marine corridor is to the region’s economy, wildlife and ecosystem health. secure.wcs.org/campaign/desi…
Just off #NYC, Hudson Canyon is largest submarine canyon along the U.S.'s Atlantic Coast. Designating it National Marine Sanctuary would provide wide range of benefits for locals and wildlife. ow.ly/2plr50HjtHM
