Our team has been working in a collaborative sprint format to explore new features for the Climate Action Navigator. Some of the indicators we worked on in our latest development sprint: 🚗daily road traffic volume 💧wastewater treatment emissions 🚵slope-based mobility Blog: heigit.org/behind-the-s...

If you have some Euros left, please consider donating for the "Wünschewagen": They fullfill the last wish of people who are dying. A friend of mine is hoping that her wish is granted: to be transported to a hospice so that she can be close to her daughter during her last weeks. www.wuenschewagen.de

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Exactly. More of the same if the same wasn‘t a cure so far won’t improve anything.

You live in #Karlsruhe and like to walk or cycle around?🚶🚴 Join us at the 𝗞𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 next Sunday: We will take to the street by bike or on foot and collect insights on how public spaces can become more livable and bike-friendly. 📅Info & registration: heigit.org/events/kit-s... @kit.edu

An ongoing eruption at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano unleashed spectacular lava fountains that towered an astonishing 1,300 feet into the air — as high as New York's Empire State Building.

Ever tried walking your city and thought: ‘Where can I even sit down?’ @heigit.org's #hiWalk just added a feature that maps benches + another one for water fountains. Good for the elderly, good for everyone. Because #walkable cities = #livable cities

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

Special thanks goes out to @radlobby.at - for working with us, but especially for lobbying for bikeable cities. Wanna improve #OpenStreetMap #OSM? At climate-action.heigit.org/webapp/dashb... you can see the difference great OSM data availability can make. Cudos to @inesmuc.bsky.social for mapping!

‘I would not feel safe’: Americans on the sorrow – and relief – of leaving Trump’s US for Europe

Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung. Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll. Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

Darren Beattie, fired from the Trump White House in 2018 after it was revealed he attended a white supremacist conference, has just been appointed acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, according to the State Department.

In an effort to shrink the federal government, President Trump and congressional Republicans have taken steps that are diluting the country’s ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather events, disaster experts say.

An analysis in Communications Earth & Environment shows that new forests larger than the land area of North America would need to be planted to offset the potential carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuel reserves currently held by the world’s 200 largest fossil fuels companies. 🧪

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

“I've been thinking more and more about how much time I am almost certainly spending grading and writing feedback for papers that were not even written by the student,” one teacher said. “That sure feels like bullshit.”

Terrifying stuff. Sharp decline in insect numbers tied to global heating. They are at the base of ecosystems and their decline will reverberate upwards. The fact that this is probably going to happen in my life time. We really need to stop burning fossil fuels today!

Eine tolle Kooperation, die viel Spaß macht, bei der ich schon sehr viel gelernt habe - und die in einem nützlichen Produkt resultiert. Der Climate Action Navigator ist bereits online, mehr Infos gibts bei @heigit.org oder heigit.org/climate-acti...

Irreversible tipping points in the climate system — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the wide-scale collapse of coral reefs — are closer than scientists previously believed.
