On The Climate Brink, I am posting draft chapters from my climate risk textbook. This post is the chapter that explains what "climate risk" means.

Informative post on The Climate Brink by Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social on the differences between CO2 and CH4 in warming the climate and the scourge of GWPs and CO2e in evaluating climate policy.

On The Climate Brink, my last post talks about the runaway greenhouse effect and whether we should worry about it. No spoilers here, you'll have to read it to find out!

As I wrote yesterday, these are actually linked. As we spend less on fossil fuels, we can also spend less on national defense. This is yet another subsidy for fossil fuels. https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-war-in-iran-shows-us-another

On The Climate Brink, @hausfath.bsky.social writes about the trends of spending on clean energy vs. national defense:

When will clean energy spending exceed military spending?

I know that AI is controversial in some corners, but I think this is a great description of how many scientists (particularly younger ones) are using it. https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-ai-augmented-scientist

Is climate change responsible for increasingly frequent or severe cold events? The evidence suggests it is not. Instead, the impact of climate change is warmer winters and less severe cold events. Zeke Hausfather has a great post on TCB talking about this. https://substack.com/home/post/p-186376927

Zeke Hausfather makes his predictions for 2026 and 2027 temperatures. I don’t need any fancy science to tell you that both years gonna be en fuego.

On The Climate Brink, I write about the connection between climate change and flooding in the Pacific Northwest.

Yes, climate change is enhancing the flooding.

Replying to @andrewdessler@mastodon.world

LLMs function as "consensus machines." Rather than presenting diverse viewpoints like traditional search engines, LLMs are designed to provide a single "best" answer by drawing from their training data, collapsing plausible responses into consensus-aligned answers.

On The Climate Brink, Zeke Hausfather has a great post about LLMs: They might inadvertently help recenter scientific expertise in public discourse, despite recent concerns about ideological manipulation.
