🚀 Our #nextGEMS overview paper is out!

After three years of intense collaboration, we’re thrilled to share a comprehensive look at what the nextGEMS project has achieved: a milestone for #ClimateModelling 🌐

For the first time ever, nextGEMS has produced multidecadal #climate simulations with kilometer-scale resolution across the ocean, land, and atmosphere, using the ICON and IFS-FESOM Earth system models. 🌍

🔹 The project unfolded over four development cycles, each releasing new configurations of ICON and IFS-FESOM.
🔹 These were rigorously evaluated at our hackathons, bringing together climate scientists, software engineers, HPC experts, and users from sectors like energy and agriculture.
🔹 By the end of the fourth cycle, we successfully ran 30-year simulations (2020–2049) at an impressive ~500 simulated days per day on the Levante supercomputer at German Climate Computing Center | DKRZ |.
🔹 Simulations reached ~5 km resolution in the ocean and ~10 km on land and in the atmosphere, offering unprecedented detail.

Furthermore, the simulations form a core building block for the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin in the Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative. In other words, nextGEMS' work paves the way for the next generation of European climate research. 🇪🇺

(yet another feedback vector?)

"Northeast Greenland plays an important role in and in our understanding of the carbon cycle. Oil and gas seepage not only affect carbon fluxes in the ocean and atmosphere, but also life in the sea—from microorganisms to animals and mammals that have adapted to life in the icy waters."

🔎 130,000 years of climate history in 2,700 meters of core samples – that's the Eifel Laminated Sediment Archive (ELSA) at #MainzUniversity. The unique geoarchive has been built and expanded by geoscientist Professor Frank Sirocko over the last 25 years. Even though he will soon be taking his well-earned retirement, drilling projects in the Eifel will continue ... Read more in our #JGUMagazine at 👉 magazine.uni-mainz.de/a-life-p

Our latest weekly climate science research roundup includes 145 academic, government and NGO reports-- but leads with a commentary in AAAS Science on the twisted concept of the Trump administration's "Gold Standard" for scientific investigations, authored by cognitive scientist and Skeptical Science collaborator Stephan Lewandowsky.

If this makes you angry, turn that dark energy into a positive and help educators by visiting climate.us and finding the donate button.

For the interim we each have to directly help with what's supposed be accomplished by the US government.

Think of the whole mess as an object lesson on paying attention, being involved.

Have you heard of #ClimateUS ?

"In June 2025, under pressure from the Trump administration, NOAA shut down daily operations of its award-winning Climate.gov website. They hid Climate.gov’s home page and froze its social media channels. Just like that, one of the most popular, most trustworthy sources of climate science information on the internet went silent. The team that built Climate.gov is fighting back with an effort to build a nonprofit successor: Climate.us. Donate to join the fight."

We've just added climate.us to our roster of worthy causes needing financial support from beneficiaries (all of us), joining the #ClimateScienceLegalDefenseFund and a host of other worthy even if unfortunate necessities.

Don't look left, don't look right-- if each of us doesn't lift a finger, we have no reason to believe anybody else will. Pay a visit to the list, make some sensible choices, enjoy the real satisfaction of making a material difference.

Too important to miss: with ideological forces in the US federal government now actively misleading US citizens on climate change, the American Meteorological Society and another ad hoc group of scientists explain exactly how US citizens are being deceived.

We make it easy to find both reports in our latest weekly #ClimateResearch roundup, along with the usual weekly torrent of what we've broken, how we broke it, and how we're going to make repairs.

"Lawyers and Fossil Fuels attack American University for Exposing Lies" [8:50 min]
by The Electric Viking

Quote by TEV:
"Aug 28, 2025
Lawyers and Fossil Fuel Industry Attack American University for Exposing Climate Lies – A shocking battle is unfolding as fossil fuel companies and their lawyers target an American university that exposed the truth about climate change, green energy, and oil industry misinformation. This clash highlights the fight between big oil profits and the push for clean energy, sustainability, and renewable solutions. Is this a turning point in the battle against fossil fuel corruption and for the future of our planet’s climate justice?"

🧠 How Hackathons Build Better #ClimateResearch Communities – A New #PolicyBrief

Our final #nextGEMS Policy Brief is here—and it brings a fresh perspective: “Building User Communities around Next-Generation Earth System Models.”

While our first brief focused on bridging science and society, this one looks inward: How do we design research projects that foster #collaboration, creativity, and real-world #impact 

Drawing on experiences from the series of nextGEMS #hackathons, the brief shows how these spaces:

- Enable peer learning across disciplines and expertise levels
- Spark new scientific collaborations and networks
- Offer #CoCreation formats that build trust and shared ownership of climate model development

🏛️ Aimed at the EU’s research and innovation community—especially those who design, fund, or manage large projects—this brief offers practical recommendations:

- Embed collaborative events into project design
- Create intentional structures that support long-term #community-building
- Focus on the societal relevance of scientific outputs from day one

These insights go beyond nextGEMS: they speak to the future of climate research itself.

📥 Read and download both briefs from the media library now.

"Technical difficulties" in dealing with #ClimateChange and how to address them dominate our highlighted research reports this week.

* Glacier Geoengineering May Have Unintended Consequences for Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries

* In tech we trust: A history of technophilia in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) climate mitigation expertise

* Dead-end pathways: Conceptualizing, assessing, avoiding [about counterproductive "mitigation theater"]

As well, a fascinating behind-the-scenes report on #ClimateModels:

* How Climate Model Developers Deal With Bugs

Nice quote: "It’s very scientific activity because you form an idea of what’s making the model misbehave. You develop hypotheses. I think of a test and do it and that’s why the bug hunting is fun."

Here's what could have been an interesting commentary to include in the "nudges" section of the weekly @SkepticalScience #ClimateResearch roundup.

But it's obfuscated. Pointless to list (we do list actual research reports that are held in ransom, but not commentaries).

PNAS. Full name "Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences of the United States of America." There's a kind of artificial barrier between the actual NAS and the journal, but clearly they're of the same genetic stock.

I'm wondering what financial friction is involved in engineering the artificial scarcity required for denying US citizens the fruit of their imprimature. Is it ~50%, like the system for denying healthcare to US citizens? Less? More?

Hiding work produced for or by a national institution also seems like a poor platform for summoning political support in a time when broad support is kind of urgent.
