Overshoot is bad, but how long it lasts matters a lot for risks around climate tipping elements. A neat new pre-print (and data viz!) by Ritchie et al:
New preprint out today highlighting that the duration of a 1.5C overshoot matters. We find that all climate tipping points would be avoided if global warming over 1.5C is restricted to 30 years and peak warming kept below 2.5C. doi.org/10.5194/egusph… @coxypm @UofE_Research
Big news: we’re kicking off the search for ARIA’s next CEO. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead one of the most ambitious orgs in science and tech. 1/8
I often get asked: why research sunlight reflection methods like stratospheric aerosol injection? Because we need to know if they can safely help us avoid catastrophic climate impacts. I spoke with @AsteraInstitute about applying clinical trial-like rigor to this urgent…
I can attest - the Astera Residency is one of the coolest opportunities out there. You get: * A generous salary * Additional budget * Health insurance * Access to a compute cluster * To work out of an ultra-high talent density office * Possible follow-on funding If you’re…
We make big bets on the misfits and innovators working towards an abundant future for all. We’re looking for our next cohort of residents to join us starting October 2025. Is that you?
We (mostly @AdamMarblestone and Mary with the help of the amazing scientists in our network) made a map of “fundamental development” gaps in science and technology. Go explore gap-map.org.
Finally, a word for what we’re doing at Reflective!
Some of the biggest scientific challenges require more than just grants or VC funding. Our new Coordinated Research Programs Playbook explores how actively managed, cross-disciplinary R&D efforts can drive real-world breakthroughs! renaissancephilanthropy.org/playbooks/coor…

Guys ... our first residency cohort is bonkers. Every one of these people could lead the development of a technology that will change humanity's trajectory. Brain-AI translation. Terraforming. Geoengineering. I'm so excited to get to be in the office with these folks.
We’re excited to welcome our first residency cohort! This exceptional group of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs embodies our mission of creating public goods through open science and technology.
I get to work with a lot of very smart people. It’s awesome. And @DanVisioni might be the smartest of them all. Read his new piece about what we can - and cannot - learn about sunlight reflection from climate models here: srm360.org/perspective/le…
FROs are making staggering scientific progress. Convergent Research is looking for someone to tell their stories.
This is an important comment. Dems listen too much to "the groups" is being coded as an anti-leftwing view, but it's about a broader culture of coalitional cowardice that often doesn't have a strong ideological view one way or the other. It just doesn't want anyone inside the…
Whenever I hear about how Democrats listened too much to the left, I think often about the Loan Shark Prevention Act I worked on that AOC and Bernie introduced into Congress. It would put a 15% cap on payday and credit card loans. When we polled it, it was hugely popular…

More of this please
A frank and productive exchange of views with my counterpart on key issues like expanding the global supply of candy and toys and tightening sanctions against chores.
Seeing big national newspapers decline to make a presidential endorsement because they don't want to risk Trump's retaliation if he wins is really dark. That's not something I ever expected to see in the United States.
I just learned that we discovered a new way that water can be evaporated - and that this isn't built into any of our existing climate models. This is mad to me - there is still so much more we need to understand. We need to be funding more climate science.…
