Are you ready for a brand new #SciBallet production? Come to the @ExRdFestival to see how ballet can be used to tell science stories! Featuring research by @RobinLamboll and @MattCScience and brand new music by Peter Wilson and @atpphelan Link 👇 #Scicomm #sciart #ballet

What is "carbon debt" and who is responsible for overshooting climate targets? A short blog: granthaminstitute.com/2025/04/09/who… based on research in pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… (with @chrisroadmap, @mattgidden, @WimThiery, @JoeriRogelj etc.)

NEW – Guest post: How to apportion ‘net-zero carbon debt’ if global warming overshoots 1.5C | @setupel @RobinLamboll @WimThiery @mattgidden Chris Smith @shonali_p Read here: buff.ly/pZxjK9j

I gave a few comments for this article in terms of the alignment of government promises with the 1.5C target: climatechangenews.com/2025/03/12/ric…

"every £1 of value generated by the net zero economy creating an additional £1.89 in the wider economy... for every job supported by net zero businesses, a further 2.5 jobs are supported in the wider economy." eciu.net/analysis/repor…

"You can't solve climate change with one country going on its own" On @dwnews, @RobinLamboll discusses the US exit from the #ParisAgreement, risks to the green economy, and how other nations can seize this moment to lead the renewable energy transition youtube.com/watch?v=qZuj6D…

"We really need to bring emissions down in the short term because these feedback loops make it harder in the long term to stay below the [1.5°C] target" @RobinLamboll on record-high CO₂ emissions and the urgency for action, via @itvnews (🎥2:03 onwards) itv.com/watch/news/why…

💬Countries have agreed to the 1.5°C global warming limit not out of convenience but out of necessity to limit harm and suffering of people. Read Prof. @JoeriRogelj and Dr @RobinLamboll's comments in response to @metoffice's latest warning regarding rising CO2 levels 🧵

How much we can still emit while remaining 50% likely to stay below 1.5C long-term (the remaining carbon budget, in light blue) from 2025, compared to what we've already emitted and the mass of carbon in various lifeforms (from Bar-On et al. 2018).

Paper alert on the "Reversal of the impact chain", ie setting climate risk levels and finding the ensuing GhG emissions to respect them. nature.com/articles/s4156…

We welcome the new House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee report on methane, which cites @imperialcollege experts @JoeriRogelj, Dr. Semra Bakkaloglu & @RobinLamboll, including calls for the UK to increase int'l engagement on methane. 📰ow.ly/U6pc50UpKoI

This evening we'll show Abi Palmer's video series teaching indoor cats about weather and discuss its links to climate change at Imperial Lates: eventbrite.co.uk/e/imperial-lat… Plus on Saturday, a drag biography of the particle physicist Lise Meitner vaginamuseum.co.uk/events/eventsc…

Finally saw Wicked. It's very good, but a bit unrealistic how people casually break out into speech when they're in the middle of a song. Also, it could have used more explanations of general relativity. youtube.com/watch?v=eYmLAO…

On the 5th of December, we're hosting the amazing @abipalmer_bot's sensory video series explaining weather to her indoor cats! There's a panel with her, me and extreme weather attribution/adaptation scientists discussing what this is all a metaphor for eventbrite.co.uk/e/imperial-lat…

(but that's not the baseline used in all the damage calculations you've read, it's still only 1.31C over that)

The UK needs to accelerate domestic methane reductions by 30% by 2030. It can also support the Global Methane Pledge through its role as a financial hub to stimulate innovation in methane-reducing technologies. Read our briefing ahead of #COP29: ow.ly/sLWw50TPSYt

Some colleagues and I published a short explainer on the role of methane mitigation for the Paris Agreement: imperial.ac.uk/grantham/publi… with Semra Bakkaloglu, @JoeriRogelj and Jenny Bird

I am astonished to report that basically all the papers written by a Chris Smith in climate change are by the same @chrisroadmap, and yet somehow he's not been offered a permanent position yet?

🌍 Research by @RobinLamboll & @JoeriRogelj from @IC_CEP warns that exceeding the 1.5°C global temperature target – even temporarily – could cause irreversible damage Sea-level rise, species loss & permafrost melt are key risks, published in @Nature 🔽 imperial.ac.uk/news/256978/re…
