“We need to move from billions to trillions,” says IIASA’s Shonali Pachauri (@shonali_p) ahead of COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The COP will be all about putting a new finance regime in place. “The old sums were peanuts”, says Pachauri. “We need up to six times more for mitigation alone”. Without putting more money on the table, we risk missing global climate goals. #COP29#COP29Azerbaijan#IIASAatCOPiiasa.ac.at/blog/nov-2024/co…

So excellent to collaborate with Kate and Alex on this. Looking forward to the issues we raise being critically engaged with & addressed by new scholarship. Rather than a thread, here's a pretty excellent NotebookLM podcast (9 min) discussing our findings: drive.google.com/file/d/1hbm…
New paper w @setupel & alexnorton. Considering land-based CDR under #RioConvention safeguards. We find ecosystem integrity is a key synergy to achieve objectives of all 3 Conventions, and impacts on human rights must be included in CDR assessments. cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/…

I've been extensively using @VincentAB {modelsummary} R package for both teaching and research and it is a delight. But I'm here to recommend this presentation of {marginaleffects}, a beautiful approach to interpreting model estimates: youtube.com/watch?v=ANDC_kkA…
Another paper in our Frontiers for Young Minds (science for kids, peer-reviewed by kids) special issue:
Impacts of Climate Change, by Adelle Thomas and William W. L. Cheung: kids.frontiersin.org/article…
Here's our new DP, on construct validity. Construct validity is under threat if what a study measures is not what it claims to know. It matters a lot in RCTs, because researchers tweak the treatment in a way it would not be tweaked in the real world 1/7. osf.io/preprints/osf/nwp8k
🥵Currently in a heatwave... so what about electricity demands for AC in the future, if, e.g.:
- we provide universal access?
- warming accelerates faster than expected?
- we moderate AC cooling by a few °C

✅ More companies are beginning to report their exposure to climate transition risks (good!)
❌ But how risks are disclosed by corporates can be inconsistent, incomplete, and misleading for investors.

And insists that if two CIs overlap then there can't be a significant difference. Really, just don't comment on things outside your area of expertise. I regularly plead ignorance to certain things in reviews.
