Climate Proofing Was Always a Lie
The implication of a known target, a stable endpoint and durable protection is false. It always was. It didn't take me long to find out who the brains behind one of the most disingenuous concepts in climate adaptation were: a bank.
El Niño Resonance Demands Insurance Adaptation
A Nature Communications study projects ENSO crossing a tipping point by the 2050s, bringing stronger, more erratic El Niño events. What it means for insurers.
Lessons from Ancient Sea-Level Surges: Reassessing Modern Risks and IPCC Projections
Ancient sea-level surges and new ice-sheet science suggest IPCC projections understate the worst case. Why planners should test assets against 2–3 m by 2100.
Cooling La Niña could be back, but global temperatures set to rise: WMO
The WMO puts La Niña odds at up to 60% for late 2025, yet global temperatures are still set to rise. What a cooling Pacific does and does not change.
Duration of heat waves accelerating faster than global warming
New research finds heat waves lengthen faster with every fraction of a degree of warming, most of all in the tropics. What it means for planning.
Scientinel publishes Sea Levels App
Scientinel's Sea Levels App for iOS puts an extreme, accelerated ice-sheet melt scenario, the kind first used to plan the Thames Barrier, in public hands.
