How do we strengthen trust in scientific authorship? A new @pnas.org perspective from an expert working group outlines three principles: transparency, credit and accountability. PLOS Chief Scientific Officer, @verokiermer.bsky.social acted as lead author. 🔗 Read more: plos.io/4saRwae

Great to see this is a strong MEP team. A key challenge will be to turn such multi- to inter-disciplinary vision in all @ipbes.net led global initiatives. Having experienced being MEP member, I know the new MEP members have a great opportunity to engage in cross cultural and epistemic pluralism.

On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility

An analysis of 4 million academic documents reveals major blind spots in sustainability research. Much of this research focuses on technological solutions but pays too little attention to the role of civil society, the public sector, and financial actors, the study finds: buff.ly/eHrdPgz

Researchers have developed an Ocean Equity Index to measure how fair ocean initiatives are across 12 criteria. The tool can be used by governments, companies and Indigenous or community groups, and its authors hope it gains global traction. Experts note equity remains difficult to quantify.

"Thinking through the implications of 4C warming shows that the impacts are so significant that the only real adaptation strategy is to avoid that at all cost because of the pain & suffering that is going to cost. There is no science on how we are going to adapt to 4C warming" @neiladger.bsky.social

Important new @worldresources.bsky.social research shows that agricultural expansion isn’t only leading to forest loss - it’s leading to loss of grasslands, savannas, & wetlands too. From 2005-20, the 🌎 lost 95 Mha of non-forest natural ecosystems to annual crops, and another 95 Mha to pasture. 1/

Listen up scientists! Providing the information and saying what needs to be done isn't enough, because policymaking isn't about doing the right thing It's a contested space, a battlefield, and we have vastly powerful opponents who don't want governments to enact evidence-based policies

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] Indigenous leader José Albino Cañas Ramírez was shot dead in Caldas, Colombia, highlighting the Emberá Chamí’s “double victimization” by armed groups and extractive pressures. At least 21 social leaders have been killed in Colombia this year.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

when big tech companies say that AI will save the planet, what kinds of AI are they actually talking about — and what's their proof? i took a look at some great new research from @ketanjoshi.co and talked to other experts about how a lot of this talk is probably bullshit:

The implications of overshooting 1.5 °C on Earth system tipping elements - a review "Global warming must peak below 2°C, return to below 1.5°C as quickly as possible (i.e. within this century), and to around 1°C thereafter to limit tipping point risks". iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

What Marco Rubio conveniently left out of his "ode to empire" at Munich over the weekend. I brought some receipts about the human costs of Western imperialism in my latest Guardian column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is a tendency to act as if climate change adaptation is a ‘get out of jail free’ card Adapting to ongoing climate change will involve huge disruption to our systems It would be so much simpler to act to stop further climate change

Appears this is also true for fascism.

EEUU no deja que nadie venda ni suministre petróleo ni ninguna otra materia energética a Cuba. Dicen que es el fracaso del socialismo. Si se prohibiese de la misma manera el suministro a cualquier país capitalista de la UE, ¿cómo se le llamaría? Porque el fracaso del capitalismo ya está cogido.

Biodiversity isn’t only protected in parks and policy documents, it is defended on the ground by communities and social movements, often at great personal risk.⁠ ⁠ Study by ICTA-UAB & IBEI shows that 40% of socio-environmental mobilizations take place in the world’s most important biodiversity areas

In this article, just out, I argue that scientists have a crucial role in the science-policy interface: keep making questions, especially those whose answers decision-makers don't know they want to know, or know they do not want to know. Here's the link: journals.plos.org/sustainabili...

La comunidad científica en la interface ciencia-política tiene un papel crucial: hacer preguntas. Sobre todo aquellas cuya respuesta los decisores no saben que necesitan, o saben que no quieren saber.
