The AMOC Tipping Point Warning System: Physics-Based Indicators for Europe’s Climate Future

In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with Dr René van Westen about his recently published papers with colleagues that identify a physics based method for forecasting the very consequential AMOC Tipping Point.  If or when… Read More »The AMOC Tipping Point Warning System: Physics-Based Indicators for Europe’s Climate Future

Interview with Professor Jason Box – Atmospheric river Rapids (& the Global Deluge)

In this ClimateGenn episode with Professor Jason Box we discuss how high resolution tools reveal that the Greenland ice sheet is tipping from a regime of winter snowfall to extreme deluges of rain.  Jason calls… Read More »Interview with Professor Jason Box – Atmospheric river Rapids (& the Global Deluge)

Greenland: Zombie Ice or One Foot In The Grave – Professor Jason Box

In this ClimateGenn episode, I speak with Professor Jason Box about his recent research that identifies the amount of Greenland’s ice sheet that is committed to melting in the coming decades.  This so-called Zombie Ice… Read More »Greenland: Zombie Ice or One Foot In The Grave – Professor Jason Box

Can we save the European Alps snow cover? Matthias Huss, ETH Zurich

The Cryosphere Pavilion was one of the most interesting pavilions I came across at this COP, simply taking in the presentations of a group of superb scientists who are telling us very clearly that we… Read More »Can we save the European Alps snow cover? Matthias Huss, ETH Zurich

Are accelerating impacts at risk of outpacing action?

With feedbacks from thawing permafrost and other sources on the rise, Sir David King discusses how close are we to the point where these sources of greenhouse gases outpace our own efforts to reduce atmospheric… Read More »Are accelerating impacts at risk of outpacing action?

Parts of Greenland may be on the verge of tipping: new early-warning signals detected

Scientists have detected new early-warning signals indicating that the central-western part of the Greenland Ice Sheet may undergo a critical transition relatively soon. Because of rising temperatures, a new study by researchers from Germany and Norway shows,… Read More »Parts of Greenland may be on the verge of tipping: new early-warning signals detected
