Understanding the consequences of potential overshoot above the 1.5°C warming level has been the focus of the PROVIDE project and the work by a great group of interdisciplinary authors has just been published in @natureportfolio.bsky.socialwww.nature.com/articles/s41... Here’s what we found: 1/
Aiming for declining global temperatures can limit long-term climate risks compared with a mere stabilization of global warming, including sea-level rise and cryosphere changes.
RCP8.5 gets a very bad rap - but it's a damn useful scenario for calibrating impacts and damage functions, as well as extending more "realistic" scenarios beyond the end of the century. A sizeable proportion of the RFF-SP scenarios exceed 8.5 W/m2 in the 22nd/23rd Centuries. rdcu.be/dUirx
The paper that describes the flexible calibration and constraining process of fair is now out in preprint form! egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...
Great to stop by for an interview at ORF (the Austrian state broadcaster) yesterday to talk about climate change. Will be out on FM4 next Friday as part of Chris Cummins' show
You can now install fair from conda-forge instead of my own amateurish anaconda channel! anaconda.org/conda-forge/...
CEDS has been updated to 2022! This is like Christmas zenodo.org/records/1090...
v2.1.4 of fair released! 🎉 this fixes a minor bug in reading in species configs when either methane or aerosol-cloud interactions are not part of your model setup. Found by one of my PhD students! Test it til it breaks, folks... github.com/OMS-NetZero/FAIRpypi.org/project/fair/
Hey guys, if you're involved in integrated assessment modelling or economics of climate change - including impacts models, simple climate models & the like - consider submitting to our EGU session! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessio...
