Chalmers is recruiting 11 ... that's right 11 assistant professors.
The packages are sweet, the university fantastic, students inspiring and the city is amazing.
Also...then we can work together!

COP26 has been full of future warming numbers – 2.7C, 2.4C, 1.8C, etc – with new estimates released daily.
In a new @CarbonBrief analysis, @piersforster and I take a deep dive into climate outcomes – what they mean and how seriously we should take them carbonbrief.org/analysis-do-… 1/

Very similar finding to our @IEA 1.8C of warming with full implementations of pledges currently on the table. Warning: the gap to a 1.5C compatible trajectory is still very large to 2030 - we find current pledges lead to 32Gt of energy CO2, instead of 21Gt in Net Zero by 2050.
1/ #COP26 NEW BRIEFING: Making sense of 1.8C, 1.9C and 2.7C.
We projected that new NDCs and long-term targets, IF adequately supported and implemented, could limit peak warming to 1.9C & @IEA also put forward 1.8C.
Yet, what about 2.7C?

The temperature figures I used will nodoubt change in the future (hopefully for the better), but I based them on the latest available today - shout-out to @ClimateRsrc for their excellent work in this area.
Again, any errors/omissions are my own.

BREAKING #COP26
2.7C: warming of unconditional, least ambitious NDC 2030 range.
2.2C: Net-zero targets a few weeks ago shave off 0.5C (UNEP Gap report).
1.9C: A dozen new NDCs and INDIA's pledge, *IF* implemented and sufficiently supported

Climate pledge reports came fast and furious during the first week of #COP26! Here is but a small sample of all the time series charts available for your perusal this week 🗓️ 🧵⤵️ @wriclimate 1/

2.7C (or slightly less) is still a solid estimate, if we only consider what is more certain: unconditional NDCs up to 2030, no long-term targets
... hence: real debate should be about how to bring 2030 emissions down and realise conditional NDCs (e.g. ZAF coal phase out)

**IF** conditional NDCs + India + methane pledge (beware double counting... ) implemented: 1.8C end-of-century is solid best-estimate.
Our own estimate (w/o methane pledge) ends up at ~1.8C (1.3-2.7C) in that case by end of century, 1.9C at peak climate-resource.com/tools/n…

Agree with @TofMcGlade.
We can have debate on how best to bring about increased ambition for 2030 and implementation of not-yet-policy-underpinned long-term targets.
But that's not a "climate scientist" versus XYZ debate.

NEW ANALYSIS: Global temps are now projected to peak at 1.9°C this century.

Thank you dear scientists. It can feel relentlessly bleak & heartbreaking but pressure by vulnerables @TheCVF @LDCChairUNFCCC @AOSISChair & champions @antonioguterres @Fridays4future @XRebellionUK @vanessa_vash @MingaIndigena @GretaThunberg is working. Onwards!
