How can climate justice inform policy design and global climate negotiations? 'Climate justice: The intersection of economics, the environment, and inequality'. Thank you @coreecon.bsky.social! @ipcc.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social @ferroneandrew.bsky.social

Is Spain the only country in Europe with a spine? Bravo to them for standing up www.bbc.com/news/article...

SVT:s rapportering om klimatkrisen minskade från redan otroligt låga 2% av sändningstiden 2024 till försumbara 0,99% 2025. Medierna bestämmer med sina val vad som är viktigt, vad vi blir rädda för och därmed vilka frågor som hamnar högt inför det kommande valet www.journalisten.se/debatt/svts-...

If you ever want a good argument for why we need science in society, it is so that we can find out things like this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thanks for a stimulating panel today at the @ec.europa.eu Climate Pact event. And thanks for making space for these powerful Latvian musicians, activists and environmentalists, Be Brave to Act.

This is a great resource for cartoons on poverty, injustice and colonialism: polyp.org.uk/cartoons/wea...

OK svenska klimatnördar - jag skulle inte översätta klimatomställning som climate transformation, utan snarare som climate transition. Men finns det bara ett begrepp och isf hur ska man skilja mellan transition och transformation på svenska?

Have you heard of paper mills? If you are an academic and especially if you are a journal editor, you will know what this is. Even so, this video was really eye-opening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEwi...

I missed this. It's shocking. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Center for History @ Sciences Po is recruiting a full professor specializing in the political history of Europe after 1945. This position is open to a mid-career researcher w/ habilitation or equivalent qualifications. Please see below for more & share widely! www.sciencespo.fr/histoire/fil...

As luck would have it, the solution to both climate change and inane wars is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. But why do that?

This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today. You can send an email today to say why dismantling NCAR is a bad idea for everyone: [email protected]

While mere numbers of people killed/affected by etc disasters do not tell the full story, EM-DAT is a critical resource for so many of us. It now faces the risk of termination due to the absence of sustainable funding following the dismantling of USAID. Please sign: openletter.earth/the-worlds-c...

Wow waking up to news that China is going towards lighter emissions targets and the Swedish fascist party suggesting measures that can increase dependency on fossil fuels…another day of governments throwing the environment and future generations lives in the toilet.

The FTSE 100 dropped 1.4% in the first 2 minutes of trade - investors reacting to the surge in oil prices. Japan’s Nikkei 225 closed down by more than 5%. In South Korea, the Kospi index triggered the circuit breaker, a 20-minute halt to trading to curb panic selling.

I am stuck on this: so many people in this world are not living a decent life, go hungry, feel unsafe, and are at risk in other ways. Instead of doing everything possible to help them, why do those with the most power instead do everything they can to harm them? It (still) makes no sense.

Nu är ju jag smålänning som inte riktigt pratar dialekt men jag önskar er ändå alla en glad fössta tossdan i mass 😜.

I feel like the world is moving too fast right now, and I worry about all of the people who need help and attention around the world and are being made invisible in the international news because of all the war-loving crazies. Not to mention the ecosystems.

ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIP IN HISTORY OF SCIENCE My home department at Uppsala University is advertising an endowed professorship in the history of science. This is the best position in the field in Sweden, and probably in all of Scandinavia. Apply before 30 April 2026. www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

It was exactly 4 years ago that we completed the work on the @ipcc.bsky.social AR6 WG 2 report. After an extended negotiations process for the Summary for Policy Makers, disrupted by the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the authors could finally exhale: new science for decision making was available.

Is anyone I know from here going to be at the EU Climate Pact annual meeting in March? Or at the International Conference on Resilient Systems 2026 in Delft?

Regeringens klimatpolitik har misslyckats. Men nu har Klimatministern kommit på en lösning: om vi tar bort utsläppsmålen kan vi inte längre missa dem!

This is exactly what we feared would happen - terribly distressing. I am not hearing much talk by other donors of how to fix the situation. Are you?

If you didn’t take climate change seriously before, you better now. And what will Swedes do? Maybe the government will be forced to subsidise coffee to avoid a civil war.

Come work with us! 🧪🌐🧑‍💻🌿🐸❄️ I am hireing a #postdoc in Climate Change Ecology to work on Ecological Synthesis and support the upcoming #IPCC report as a Chapter Scientist (CH14: terrestrial, freshwater and cryopspheric biodiversity, ecosystems, and services. #IPCC #AR7 @ipcc.bsky.social

Thanks for pointing this out, also @volts.wtf. And the list goes on, incl why do we normalise adaptation since many strategies are often associated with loss of livelihood, social capital and identity > rarely brought up. The global debates are just centred on funding, obscuring other key issues.

What is the law of physics that says that regardless how many exams you mark, the pile of unmarked exams never seems to shrink???

Coming from UK higher education, I am so confused about German doctoral theses and why they are so very short. The paper-based ones are like little brochures. I really struggle to recalibrate my assessment criteria when there is so little information to judge the candidate's research capacity.

Unexpected and interesting

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

Der zitierte Satz kommt von Merz - er ist Ausdruck von ökon. Dummheit und Arroganz. Forschung ist nicht nur dafür da, Wachstum und Profite zu generieren, sondern gesellschaftliche Entwicklung zu verstehen und Handlungsoptionen zu erweitern, Ungleichheiten zu erkennen und Machtkritik zu ermöglichen.

Inconvenient truth… Trump says climate change doesn’t endanger public health – evidence shows it does, from extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses theconversation.com/trump-says-c...

MISLEADING: A new academic paper by @qmul.bsky.social has attracted significant media attention by claiming that EVs & heat pumps deliver no proven carbon savings in UK ahead of 2030 clean power target - and should therefore be postponed. Here is why this paper should never have been published.🧵

Climate leaders condemn Trump EPA’s biggest rollback yet: ‘This is corruption’

Alaaf everyone

I am starting a club for academics who agree that there is too much nonsense being published that asks no critical questions, omits engaging with theory and makes zero difference to the world.

Colleagues, would you say there is a difference between transformational adaptation and transformative adaptation - and has it been defined anywhere? I have mostly assumed these were used as synonyms.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

For those invested in this or with an interest in cats who pee in inappropriate places: I did take him to the vet and he has crystals in his bladder, which are painful. Likely caused by ph change from stress. We are treating him now. Also may have diabetes 😵‍💫. Poor Mio.

Are you on top of the latest climate science - or do you want to be? Suggest yourself as an author or share topics that you think are important to cover in the next edition of the 10 New Insights in Climate Science. It's a lot of fun too!

If this surprises you, then I am indeed sorry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
