Great presentation by Jeroen Oomen about the sociopolitical mess around solar radiation management, at Studium Generale Maastricht tonight.

It's a pity his book is so damn expensive.

Minimal Arctic Sea Ice Loss in the Last 20 Years, Consistent With Internal Climate Variability

"A new research paper published in the American Geophysical Union journal points out that there has been NO statistical reduction in Arctic Sea ice surface area for the last two decades! So what's going on"

When I reached the spring after a difficult climb, only a few drops were coming out of the pipe. It is September and autumn is beginning in Europe. In the morning, there were about 2.5 liters of water in it. And in the evening, there was nothing left.
I first visited this spring at an altitude of 1,480 meters a.s.l. about 30 years ago and I have been back many times since then. For years there has been a noticeable decline in water levels. It scares me.

Down to 78. Yay!

Investment in renewable energy has continued to increase around the world despite moves by Donald Trumps White House to cancel and derail low-carbon projects.

In the first half of 2025, investment globally in renewable technologies and projects reached a record $386bn, up by about 10%.

"Every time a politician pretends something like bike lanes are an attack on drivers, they erode trust in public debate and distract us from the real challenges, most of which their own political ideology are directly responsible for. When leaders inflame anger rather than solve problems, theyre not serving their constituents, theyre using them as pawns in a very cynical game of political theatre."

Brazilian President Luiz Incio da Silva delivered a powerful speech at the , directly addressing global , , , and . In his remarks, Lula appeared to strongly criticise Donald Trump and far-right movements for threatening democratic institutions and undermining sovereignty worldwide. However, Lula did not explicitly name any leader in his speech. Watch his full remarks here.

As always, everyone:

And, yet again, USA:

Require that Congress do its job, , and remove him & those with him. For, among all of their other crimes, interfering with climate change programs Congress ordered.

I'm glad, I'm not living in the , finishing a PhD in and looking for a in the field of is difficult in Germany. However, a president who hates the , dismantles and thinks is a would make my job search hell. Starting my PhD in 2019 at the peak of protests, I hoped the world is on the right path. I'm not so hopeful anymore.

Good article on the new nuclear cheerleaders presenting it as the saviour of humanity (again).

"it would take the construction of 33 new nuclear plants per year for the next 27 years to move (nuclear) from two to four per cent of total energy supply (in the US)."

Dusty Clouds Make More Ice

Even when colder than its freezing point, water droplets have trouble freezingunless theres an impurity like dust that they can cling to. Its been long understood in the lab that adding dust allows water to freeze at warmer temperatures, but proving that at atmospheric scales has been harder. But a of decades worth of satellite imagery has done just that. The team showed that a tenfold increase in dust doubled the likelihood of cloud tops freezing.

Since ice-topped clouds reflect sunlight and trap heat differently than water-topped ones, this connection between dust and icy clouds has important climate implications. (Image and research credit: via )

Trump undermines scientific consensus on climate change, saying they were made by stupid people. In fact, global average temperature has already increased by over 1C since the start of the industrial era. if you dont get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail, he says.

Trump accuses environmentalists of wanting to kill all the cows. There is no evidence for that claim.
