We really nerded out this time by simulating the climate of #TheWheelOfTime. Read all about it in this spoiler-free @ConversationUK article theconversation.com/wheel-of-time-… #TwitterOfTime @BrandSanderson @nerdist @simonoxfphys @thedustywheel @DanielBGreene 1/4

Govt decision to keep regressive Tory fuel duty freeze & to choose to penalise bus users is utterly nonsensical. What happened to promoting public transport? And all the Green rhetoric? Cost of capping bus fares at £2 tiny compared with revenue lost through freeze #Budget2024

Detection & attribution of human health is one of the fasting growing fields in climate science - and you can be part of our team working on exactly that - you only have 5 days remaining to apply though 😀 climatebristol.org/contact/

The next UK National Meeting on Climate Impacts and Risks will be held at Bristol on 18/19th Sep 2025. Day1 is all impacts/risks, Day2 is health focussed. Academic, industry and policy all welcome. Stayed tuned for updates and sign up @richardabetts @HayleyJFowler @AndyChallinor

New postdoc positions in climate attribution and health with our team. They will be 2-3 years in length, and you get to work with amazing climate and epidemiology colleagues across the world. More positions coming too @_RachelJames @EuniceLoClimate RT climatebristol.org/contact/

What are our students measuring? Head on over to sky to find out bsky.app/profile/climat…

If you follow me on here, then feel free to follow me on bsky or send me your account name! Expect to see many from the Bristol climate group joining over the coming days 😀

NEW – Q&A: The evolving science of ‘extreme weather attribution’ | @AyeshaTandon w/ comment from Peter Stott @ClimateDann @ETheokritoff @Linimie @nickleach0 Kevin Trenberth @WimThiery @RupertS_Smith Delta Merner @FrediOtto Read here: buff.ly/4hRt4Gc

🏆 Angelina Widmann is the @stanchart Young Weather Photographer of the Year 2024! Angelina captured this shot at an open-air performance of Madame Butterfly in Bregenz, Austria. Bregenz is one of the wettest spots around Bodensee, due to its proximity to the mountains.

Record levels of heat-related deaths in 2023 due to #climatecrisis, report finds - Almost half of global land area saw extreme drought for at least one month, according to @LancetCountdown theguardian.com/environment/20…

And not to mention that in the months, weeks, and years after this flood, there will be a longer-term health toll related to infectious diseases, mental health, and inequalities - the media don't revisit events so this is always less talked about

Which climate hazards can we expect this century—and where? Read our explainer on regional climate impacts from the equator to the poles, summarizing a new article by @mat_collins, @ClimateDann, @emilyshuckburgh, @CharlesHSimpson, @TimWoollings, @ClimateVikki & more ⬇️

Folks – we're 72 hours away from the approach, and eventual landfall, of a potential major hurricane in Florida. If you're in Florida between Tampa and Tallahassee at the coast, begin reviewing your plan and have a go bag ready.

Extremely proud of Dr @emily_vosper for passing her PhD with flying colours. Emily has created a generative AI method of downscaling tropical cyclones around the world to hazard-relevant scales. Using her methods we can now investigate the vulnerabilities of exposed populations👇

Very happy with our new paper in @TheLancetPlanet today, where we give a structured expert judgement on all the ways weather and climate can lead to ill-health in the UK. It's just the beginning of the conversation sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This - from Private Eye - illustrates why it was reasonable to question the sentence lengths given to the Stop Oil protestors @RestIsPolitics

Very useful resource on Health Attribution!

20yrs ago Valdes moved to Bristol and our climate/biochemistry group (BRIDGE) was born. We celebrated our anniversary by bringing back many of our alumni. I love co-leading the group with @OceanFMonteiro - life is a lot of fun when you have such friendly and exciting colleagues❤️

🗳️ It's polling day 🗳️ Today, the people of Bristol Central can make history You live in one of the only seats in the country where you can elect a Green MP today. Your vote here REALLY matters We need voices that can challenge the new Labour government to do better…
