Although written with some irony, this article so captures the commodification of scientific publishing in the last few years. It sometimes feels like a publications arms race, not in a good way www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I love this grassroots student-driven movement that is encouraging a positive change in universities across Europe. Hopefully it will grow to a global one. Worth your support: plantbaseduniversities.org

Conservative Peer Lord Deben calls on all MP & Peers to attend the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis. Please check if your MP is attending this critical non-partisan briefing, and if not, urge them to 👉 www.nebriefing.org #TimeToStepUp #NEB

Finally out! The outcome of a virtual workshop in Feb 2024 with modelers and observationalists to put together data and protocols to include historical changes in ice sheet/ice shelf discharge in CMIP models. Hopefully not too late for some CMIP7 runs! gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

@joeroganhq.bsky.social is spreading climate denial and disinformation. Let’s help get him on board saving a livable climate — spread this widely. Send it to people who listen to him. #climate

Plant Based Universities Summer Camp 2025 chuffed.org/project/1386...

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Looks like staying below 1.5 degs warming is in the rear view mirror. Let's hope that 2 degs doesn't end up the same.

Last September, I reported exclusively this analysis by Pesticide Action Network Revealed: Far higher pesticide residues allowed on food since Brexit - Unlike the EU, Great Britain has slashed protections for scores of food types 1/2 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is sad, scary and deeply depressing at the same time. It takes decades to build the best and most important scientific institutions but just days to destroy them www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Brazil activists decry green rollbacks as senate passes ‘devastation bill’ - Legislation would dismantle regulations in farming, mining and energy, increasing risk of widespread destruction www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Just published, free to read. www.nature.com/articles/s43.... Currently trajectory => dangerous levels of sea level rise from the ice sheets. Will this influence policy? Unlikely, but important to keep banging the drum. As declared by almost all nations: it's an EMERGENCY.

Nice summary on some recent work we did on ice loss in Svalbard: Scientists use AI to track rapid glacier loss in Arctic Norway yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/04/scie...

Congrats to the winner individual (Marcello Passaro) and winning team (The Decentralised Damage Mapping Group). ESA - Earth Observation Excellence Award 2025 winners www.esa.int/Applications...

Beautiful morning on my bike ride along the river Avon into Bristol centre yesterday morning. #cycling

EarthCARE goes live with data now available to all www.esa.int/Applications...

And here's the UoB press release for the paper: A new study has exposed for the first time the huge loss of glaciers in a global warming hotspot over the past four decades. It also shows the biggest retreat has occurred in recent years. Find out more❄️⬇️ t.co/w1tyZ0GfVt

Really nice paper just published by my post-doc Tian Li, on the controls and processes influencing calving for marine terminating glaciers in Svalbard. A lot of info. in the paper and supplement and a huge team effort. Free to read (of course!) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
