Gårsdagens kjennelse fra Høyesterett var et knusende tap for staten som ikke bare har tapt den konkrete saken, men også mistet ett av sine favorittargumenter. La oss ta en titt!🧵

We ended up having a great time at the Espegrend workshop! Here is one of the weirder finds of the week: a Nordgaardia (a pretty weird bryozoan!) and team #NorDigBryo 🤓

Dersom statsråden henviser til at "bare 1.7 prosent av landet vårt er bebygd" så er det forsåvidt riktig, men samtidig misvisende i denne sammenhengen. Arealtap er nemlig den største trusselen mot norsk natur. Hvordan dette henger sammen forklarer jeg her: www.kommunal-rapport.no/meninger/are...

The singly most important individual action we can all take to halt the climate and nature crises is simply to do *less*. To consume, waste, travel less. I’ve already started, but can do more, and am up for this #NewYearsResolution / #AntiBucketlist for 2025

Det økende mineralbehovet krever raske løsninger. Vi trenger en storsatsning på gjenvinning av mineraler - ikke en åpning for gruvedrift i sårbare havområder! www.altinget.no/klima/artikk...

Great to see so many marine scientists already on Bluesky - to help get you find some of them here is a starting list list of a few marine biologists If you want to be added (or deleted), or know other I have missed (many for sure) - just contact me and I'll sort it go.bsky.app/RS5zQHv

Hi everyone! I'm Nadia and I'm a PhD student in marine neuroscience at the NTNU in Trondheim. My research is about the bioluminescent communication of marine annelids (specifically Tomopteris) 🪱🌊🧠

Vi trenger raskere #energiomstilling, og mye henger på penger… Og #klimafinansiering er faktisk er på bordet i Baku for #COP29! Det trenger ikke nødvendigvis være friske penger. Vi må vri investeringer vekk fra fossilt, og å sikre finansiering til grønne energi. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

While it's very funny to watch The Metals Company whine about the deep ocean oxygen discovery they helped fund, I worry that this only the start. Climate tech startups want science to support their business case, but many are going to discover that science is about reality, not their bottom line 1/2

🧪⚒️ This is wild! "Dark" oxygen produced at the bottom of the ocean, possibly by natural electrolysis associated with polymetallic nodules that are the major target for deep sea mining. So crazy that for years, the scientists who discovered this refused to believe their instruments were working.

I nord har altså kysttorsken glede av fjorder frie for bunntråling. Og man har fjordlinjer for å beskytte kystfisket mot store fartøy. Rart igrunn om ikke dette nå vurderes for Ytre Oslofjord og Skagerrakkysten hvor kysttorsk og -fiske er i krise? www.nrk.no/tromsogfinnm...

This is a story about deep sea mining, beautifully told. Mining something that takes millions of years to form. What could go wrong? Ehm…🛢️👀 Letting an industry with a terrible record on land do the same in the ocean where there’s way less oversight. What could go wrong? 🤔
