Our planet is already in chaos. If you do not feel it yet, you will feel it in the future. Data do not lie, but interest groups and politicians may. We have the knowledge and the resources to respond. Let us do so!

Check out our new paper, led by Bent Rech: we investigate space use of semi-feral water buffalo, cattle, and horses in a Danish rewilding area. We found that the three species differ markedly in their seasonal habitat selection and responses to resources and infrastructure.

In Cameroon with students from Göttingen university. Two days of hiking and discussing with the mayor of Mbankomo the remaining biodiversity in Yaounde’s hills. There are solutions to stop encroachment but a compensation scheme is urgently needed to save Yaounde‘s green belt!

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America.

The study gives an updated estimate of ECS at 4.8ºC. This is higher than the IPCC suggests but aligns almost exactly with the “Global Warming has Accelerated” paper from Prof James Hansen et al, also published this week.

BREAKING: Acting @EPA Administrator James Payne has fired the agency's science advisors. They will be replaced in order to, he says, "ensure that the agency receives scientific advice consistent with its legal obligations to advance our core mission," whatever that means.
