KARHUJAHTI LUVILLA VAI KIINTIÖLLÄ? MMM pisti lausunnolle mahdollisuuden hoitaa karhujahti kiintiöillä. @luonnonsuojelu.bsky.social mielestä pyyntiluvat ovat parempia: Näin voidaan hoitaa luontodirektiivin mukainen tapauskohtainen harkinta, muiden vaihtoehtojen pohdinta ja oikeusvalvontakeinot.

Ilmastonmuutosta on kuvitettu vuosia kuvilla uimarannoista, suihkulähteistä ja jäätelöstä. Journalisteilla on nyt haaste: miten kertoa ja kuvittaa vaara. Tämä juttu on kiinnostava: ”Stop making Europe’s deadly heat wave look fun”. www.fastcompany.com/91563140/sto...

The European heatwave will move eastward in the coming days and the forecasts for the weekend are insane: close to 40 °C for the Baltic Sea coast. It's only a matter of time when the Nordic countries record their first 40 °C.

I wish more people were willing to peer review more papers, but I know that folks are overworked and busy. At the very least, please just take 1.5 seconds to inform editors that you're unavailable instead of just ignoring the email and delaying the whole process for everyone. Thank you!

Scientific journal editor here: If you're invited to peer review an article and you can't do it, please just click "no." That tells me "this person can't do it, I should invite someone else." Otherwise the system waits 3 weeks to tell me that you didn't respond and I should invite someone else.

Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and the benefits it provides. The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil emissions are doing to our oceans. easternherald.com/2026/06/13/u...
