I know nothing of climate change. But its complexity is fascinating. And how should we, our societies, live within biophysical planetary boundaries? *322ppm

Ein Schlüsselmoment ist eine Reise auf einem Containerschiff, bei der Cappellin von der schieren Masse des globalen Warenverkehrs und dessen Auswirkungen auf das Klima überwältigt wird. Diese Erfahrung löst eine existenzielle Krise aus, die ihn dazu bringt, die fundamentalen Fragen zu stellen:

Day 68: Arrive in Lae, stay in a lodge, still unclear when I'll manage to get on board a ship to Rabaul, East New Britain. 2 main ferry companies keep on postponing their scheduled services. Maybe will have to stay put 2 weeks. Take advantage to visit WWII cemetery and botanical gardens. 87/

If every person in industrialised nations, 1.2bn people or so excl. China, donates $ 150 once – imagine how many real scientists we could pay to go to every lawmaker, informing each of them personally eye to eye of the dire consequences of their inaction and fossil sabotage to nature and climate!

“Why is climate action so difficult?” Mainly because the people who benefit most from not acting just made $93 billion, about $700,000 per minute, in three months. www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...

Hydrology Paper of the Day @loopdlupien.bsky.social on hydrological processes and environmental conditions in a basin of eastern Africa 1.748-1.725 million years ago: precession oscillations identified from sediment samples containing biomarkers; understanding feedbacks; and hominin fire use.

📣 We have a new paper out in QSR on the high-resolution relationships between precipitation, vegetation, and fire across one precession cycle in the early Pleistocene in the Turkana Basin. Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I don't see why the Energy Charter Treaty is not put to death effective immediately. The European Preamble to it says, energy provided "must be societally sustainable". BigFF is clearly in breach of this, with dire consequences. [Shadow] Court rulings for BigFF should be ridiculed and disregarded.

Guess who LOVES PROFIT-BOOSTING WAR & couldn't care less about deadly heatwaves, drought, fires, floods & landslides❓ "BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell & TotalEnergies will collectively earn $45 billion in net income during April-June 2026, up from $23 billion in the previous quarter"

Ist nett. Erst 10 Minuten Gruselversuche von Ulrike Timm, die aber leider von Tanneberger alle nüchtern abgewiegelt werden. Hätte Emotionen auslösen können, die dann nämlich Wissensaufnahme und Erinnerung stärken. Chance verpasst. Danach 25 Minuten Wissen. Wer Akrotelm folgt, weiß das schon alles.

Oh schick, @tannebergerf.bsky.social von @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social 40 Minuten "im Gespräch" im DLF 📻. Wer was erfahren will über die Entstehung und Entwässerung der Moore, die Notwendigkeit von #MoorMussNass und wie das mit #Landwirtschaft 🚜 zusammengeht, sollte sich das anhören. 👌

All of Europe! Can be insulated using straw. At no harm to biodiversity, no loss of nature or of food-growing land! And instead of emitting GHG like other construction materials, straw even keeps carbon hidden away. Sown into a wooden frame, such straw mat insulation stores 88kg CO2 per meter2.

Michael Burchert@michaelburchert.bsky.social · 23h ago

And, as is the case every year, my 'minority view' is confirmed: we have an incredible amount of straw. So much, in fact, that we could insulate the whole of Europe against heat + cold in a climate-neutral way without having to grow anything extra, without competing for land, food, fossil nonsense.

Thema die Sonne bei der Sonnenfinsternis am 12. August sicher beobachten: nur mit geeigneten Schutzmaßnahmen wie zertifizierten Sonnenfinsternisbrillen - keine Hausmittelchen wie Rettungsdecken, rußgeschwärzte Gläser, Filmstreifen oder Schweißerbrillen! 1/5 🔭

Okay. But. The extinctions 250 and 200 million years ago occurred on a planet with one huge ocean and one huge continent. A huge continent is particularly vulnerable to desertification. One disturbance et voilà, a 1930-like Dust Bowl or even an old Amazon-like forest turns into desert. 1/

Glad to share our new study at @natcomms.nature.com which resulted from several workshops on the early warning signs of mass extinctions and coordination of macroevolutionary vulnerability and the states of carbon cycle and temperatures. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪⚒️ #Geology #Paleobio #EvoBio

Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?

PPS: Bevor ich mit Yoga angefangen hab, fand ichs langweilig. Ist nix für mich. Bevor ich mich vegetarisch ernährt hab, hab ich Vegetarier ausgelacht, weil Menschen haben Reißzähne (jaja, ich weiß 🙈). Und bevor ich mich für vegan entschieden hab, konnte ich NIE auf Käse verzichten. Yet, here we are.

I wouldn't be an expert on American prairie ecosystems, but what I can say is that wild grazers have VERY different effects to domestic livestock. They usually number far less, and move around the landscape in a natural way, regulated by predators and other factors.

@annothery.bsky.social · yesterday

With respect, because I genuinely don’t know. How are cattle different than bison in the Americas, in times past? Is it the concentration of animals? Or the lack of ability to change grazing location? Something else? Or were bison midway through destroying the prairies?

🇦🇹 Vienna beer lovers attempt world record for biggest simultaneous pour More than 600 beer enthusiasts gather at Vienna's Ottakringer Brewery in a bid to break the world record for the largest number of people pouring a beer at the same time.

Fast 3 Jahre alt und noch brandaktuell 👇😕 #Dürre Nur, dass seit letzter Woche das Gesetz gilt, das den Bau grauer Infrastruktur ohne Rücksicht auf Naturschutz ermöglicht. Während Renaturierung von Ökosystemen, die Wasser in der Landschaft halten würden, bekämpft und erschwer wird. 😡

Sabrina Schulz@auenatelier.bsky.social · 3y ago

Die Wasserkrise in D 🇩🇪 hat zwei hässliche Gesichter. Die Niederschlagsverteilung ändert sich im Klimawandel drastisch: mal regnet es zu wenig, dann wieder viel zu viel. 💦 Diese Kapriolen treffen auf eine überformte, auf Entwässerung getrimmte Landschaft. Ein #Hochwasser-Thread. 🧵

Mühlenhof's vegane Leberwurst vom Lidl? Riecht wie Leberwurst. 💃 Aber der Geruch ist nicht Bestandteil des Geschmacks. Ulkig. Schmecken tuts wie Katzenfutter von Maggi, wie einklich alle veg Fertigaufstriche. Meine eignen veganen Leberwurstvarianten schmecken gut, bloß Geruch und Geschmack ≠ LW 😁

A lovely little bit of physics that you might have spotted if you ever play with a slinky. We should all play more, because we should all embrace our curiosity. And finding out how the physical world works is fun!
