Humanity is choosing to fail! We are doing virtually nothing to try and limit global warming to even 4°C. Let alone to 1.5°C. Methane concentrations are following the highest IPCC scenario, now at 1938 ppb. H/t @glenpeters.bsky.social

Femella i mascle de bitxac comú (Saxicola rubicola). En aquest cas, aprofitant una zona que es va cremar fa uns anys. Aquest tipus d’indrets són molt bons per a algunes espècies, com els propis bitxacs, les cogullades, les cotolius,…

The number of working satellites has soared in the past five years to around 11,000, mostly because of constellations of orbiters that provide Internet connectivity around the globe, but it comes with a series of problems. Nature explores the issues and how scientists are reacting. 🔭 🧪

Swarms of satellites are harming astronomy. Here’s how researchers are fighting back

SpaceX and other companies plan to launch tens of thousands of satellites, which could mar astronomical observations and pollute the atmosphere.

Amphibians are at risk of overheating due to climate change in both hemispheres 2% species are currently exposed to overheating even in shaded conditions, so water bodies are essential for them to buffer the effects of heat waves @patricepottier.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Social democracy is not a viable alternative to capitalism. It is a tempting prospect, but ultimately suffers from violent contradictions that cannot be sustained. 🧵
