🌳🥵 🌇 In our new study (dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ae5c20), we find that street green space (trees, bushes, green space visible to the pedestrian, etc.) can reduce urban heat stress, but even ambitious greening efforts are unlikely to offset much of the additional heat expected from climate change.

Expanding street green space can help reduce urban heat stress, but its cooling impact varies by location and is limited; comprehensive adaptation strategies remain essential for cities. doi.org/hbwh95

Street green space can help cool cities, but it will not be enough on its own

A new IIASA-led study finds that expanding street green space can reduce urban heat stress in cities worldwide, but even ambitious greening efforts are unlikely to offset a significant share of the additional heat expected under climate change.

"If the U.S. can't get its greenhouse emissions under control, they need to face real consequences" said the rest of the world.

"If Canada can't get these wildfires under control, they need to face real consequences," said Wisconsin state Rep. Calvin Callahan in a news release Wednesday. "We won't sit back while our air becomes a health hazard."

Germany has started the politicisation of the courts. The AfD is jubilating.

Was US-Forscher_innen in D dafür bekommen sollen, dass sie ihre Arbeit machen: Rundum-Sorglos-Paket. Was #IchBinHanna dafür bekommt, dass sie ihre Arbeit macht: Kettenverträge, Arbeitsortwechsel, Pendelei, soziale Entwurzelung, leidende Beziehungen, Rauswurf. Na wenn uns das mal nicht motiviert! 🤡

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

Have you ever looked at a weather map online? Or seen a nice visualization of weather forecast model output? If so, NSF Unidata almost certainly made that possible in one way or another. Modern meteorological education would not be possible without the data, tools, and resources they provide.

NSF Unidata@unidata.bsky.social · last yr.

Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy
