When I was in school, I remember how the teachers would not shut up about how we needed to put our names on our assignments. Do teachers no longer remind students of this? The number of Uni students who do not put their names on their essays is wild! Am I supposed to guess who wrote 'Essay 2.pdf'?

This is terrifying.

I absolutely agree with the message in this article. However the way that UNFCCC negotiators cherry pick from the IPCC when it's appropriate for them, and ignore other parts is unlikely to be something that can change. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I would definitely not be boasting about this! The rest of us are trying to figure out how to keep students away from using AI instead of their brains...

Not great news for a Monday.

As a reminder, land areas (where we live) are warming around twice as fast as over the oceans. Subsequently, most of us are 'feeling' temperatures rising faster than the global mean record. Graphic from zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

Hey, people who work on climate especially, you should know this is happening.

Prof. @lisaschipper.bsky.social is PI of the new project “Path Dependency: Unpacking the Colonial Roots of Vulnerability to Climate Change” on #colonialism & #ClimateChange. Funded through the 2nd phase of the Cluster of Excellence @dependencybonn.de @unibonn.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2jdk99j3

So important.

Hoping for a green evening here in Bonn tonight.

Being an academic is like carrying an armload full of balls. Sometimes you pick up new balls and add to the pile, but most of the time other people are putting balls in your pile. Eventually you start dropping balls and then people get upset with you. But no one can hold all the balls at once.

My reading this morning! @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social @susannahfisher.bsky.social

Very provocative paper (that I missed because there is no longer a reliable place to find these announcements). 'If adaptation projects are produced under unjust systems, maladaptation should be considered an expected outcome.' 1/ link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Start of the Accountable Adaptation symposium at @ucl.ac.uk with the brilliant @susannahfisher.bsky.social pointing to the importance of thinking about the politics of adaptation measurement.

Here we go! @tyndallcentre.bsky.social 25 anniversary: Critical decade for climate action conference.

I found this history fascinating, especially how the US under Bush I a) pushed to create the IPCC to center government representatives, not scientists, in UN climate action; b) used the IPCC to block binding emission targets and carbon taxes on rich countries, which seemed imminent in 1988.

Dear World We're sorry. This is really fucked up.

Tearing down and shredding to pieces political posters that convey hate does not count as vandalism, right? [note: I did not do anything]

I just found out about the passing (in Dec) of Professor Harold Ward who set up the Brown U Center for Environmental Studies, housed in the Urban Environmental Lab (UEL) where I spent nearly every minute of my undergraduate years. @brown-ibes.bsky.social www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

This looks like a brilliant contribution to the struggle with AI in higher education. The entire volume appears to offer a lot of food for thought. I haven't read it yet, I will ask ChatGPT to summarise it for me....🙃

Last month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of August. This was 1,250,000 km² below the 1981-2010 August average. Data from the nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

När ska ni förstå? Greta är äkta. Hon tycker det hon tycker, oavsett hur vindarna blåser. Hon är sann mot sina värderingar. Hon är inget jävla varumärke.

Demo in Bonn against the racists. #fckafd you are wasting your time here, we know you are just about hate.

New piece on Carbon Colonialism, net-zero nonsense, and how the UK Government's climate advisors (and many experts) shy away from speaking truth to power. We need a fundamental reboot of climate policy; - physics doesn't care about political sensibilities. theconversation.com/the-uks-year...

(Excuse me for my wander down memory lane today) I think Greg Bankoff's 2001 paper was very important. It is now over 20 yrs old & without using the current (decolonial) language does hit the nail on the head wrt framing vulnerability as Western. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

We think we're so smart these days but some of the best ideas are old. This paper has been a cornerstone for my work, almost 50 years old. If we had listened we would have done everything possible to make development more equitable and reduce vulnerability to hazards. www.nature.com/articles/260...

Really spooky stuff. And judging by the way that all of the faces are screaming, even they are scared!

The wildfires that raged across Greece, Turkey and Cyprus this summer were 22% more intense and 10 times more likely than they would have been in a world without climate change, according to scientists at @wwattribution.bsky.social FREE link via @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Interesting. But I don’t think Bluesky is a particularly friendly place for scientists, tbh. I find lots of strange comments by people who don’t seem to understand research or academia here. Sometimes quite aggressive.

I think this is a worthwhile read. policypostings.medium.com/is-the-clima...

Looking forward to joining part of this event. I was the first Tyndall scholarship holder (not the first to finish though!) but have not been back to Norwich/UEA since the day of my viva, 20 years ago…

I was just today wondering why good people are still on Twitter, I guess this explains the stories they are telling themselves to justify it.

Recommendations please for your favourite environmental justice book for a Master's level class on EJ. Individual paper recommendations also welcome.

V. embarrassing: I fell off my cycle right in front of my child's school today. Just pulled my break too hard and tipped right over. Didn't hit my head but it's just a reminder that you can get hurt even when you are not going fast. Always wear a helmet, the last place you want to hit is your head.

Vast numbers of people live in areas that are highly vulnerable to #heatwaves. Everything pictured here is at long term heating of ~1.5°C - and we are firmly on track to cross 2°C. Large scale heat adaptation is called for!

Sometimes I think maybe a goal in life is to be a MILF, but these Bluesky accounts that only follow women creep me out.

For climate action, let's pick the low-hanging fruit of wealthy polluters first, say Jürgen Karl Zattler and Adrian Severin Schmieg - Eliminating fossil fuel subsidies, which primarily benefit the rich, would significantly reduce emissions #climatecrisis www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

After years and years and years of discussion, it is happening www.bbc.com/news/article...

Really great to see this book now available open access, 'Why Vulnerability Still Matters'. It is the follow up to the fabby 2004 Bankoff et al book 'Mapping Vulnerability' but with a twist. www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edi...

"It’s more important than ever that our professional bodies and institutions are emboldened by their membership to advocate for the public good that science brings, and the need to defend academic freedom, recognising that often means speaking truth to power."
