The development of the Pizol Glacier within a few decades – and there are still retards who claim that man-made #climate change does not exist.

Large-scale citizen science study identifies imidacloprid as primary chemical risk in UK freshwaters imidacloprid was detected in 24% of samples. In every sample where it was present, concentrations exceeded risk thresholds for aquatic invertebrates. www.watermagazine.co.uk/2025/11/05/l...

"it was not a case of them stealing the King’s group’s data and then, voila, those data gave them the structure of DNA. Instead, they solved the structure through their own iterative approach and then used the King’s data — without permission — to confirm it."

So the EP Agri committee, so adamant that consumers would be confused by labels saying VeggyBurger or Vegeterian sausage, have voted to allow booze producers to replace health indications with a QR code Transparency seems is a one way street. Leading away from healthier and more sustainable diets.

IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

Dit moet het grappigste zijn dat ik in tijden gelezen heb. Papa Mamdani werd geïntroduceerd tot het Marxisme door … De FBI.

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.

Ik vind dat ontkenners van de opwarming en politici en bedrijven die niet genoeg doen om die opwarming tegen te gaan, moeten worden geschaard onder de noemer ‘georganiseerde criminaliteit’. Ze richten veel meer schade en leed aan dan de doorsnee drugsbende.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian” According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

"But perhaps the most consequential long-term loss for federal science is that of institutional knowledge and expertise — and the downstream effects on the training of early-career researchers." "We lost people with decades of experience and everyone who was very early career, ...”

4/ One example of the risks of assisted colonization: To save Tasmanian devils threatened by a transmissible cancer, a population was established on an island where the species never previously occurred. That introduced population destoyed thousands of penguins. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'De commissie stelt vast dat Israëls acties in Gaza en op de Westelijke Jordaanoever geen gevechten tegen een vijandig leger zijn, maar daden van kolonisatie en berekende en vernietiging van een bevolking, vermomd als oorlog.' @mondiaalnieuws.bsky.social www.mo.be/analyse/na-h...

You are here.

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Conversations around misinformation that assume everyone cares about literal truth may be missing the point. When meaning is symbolic, not factual👇

Background global heat ~1.5ºC 425 ppm CO2 (year-to-date) What happens when we cross 2ºC which we are 97% certain will happen? We are completely unprepared.

De documentaire ‘Facing War’ volgt Jens Stoltenberg, NAVO-chef van 2014 tot 2024, van dichtbij tijdens zijn laatste jaar als leider. Je ziet hoe hij alles op alles zet om de steun voor Oekraïne te organiseren die hij heeft beloofd. Kijk 22.20 uur op NPO 2 of via npodoc.nl/facingwar

Hoe was het om dit van zo dichtbij te volgen? NPO Doc sprak erover met regisseur Tommy Gulliksen, die zegt: ‘Alles staat op het spel: onze wereldvrede, democratie en vrijheid’.

Het genetisch laboratorium van het INBO heeft de analyses voltooid van de stalen die zijn binnengebracht in de zomer en vroege herfst van 2025: uitstrijkjes genomen bij schadegevallen en op verse uitwerpselen in het leefgebied van de Limburgse roedel. bit.ly/47JcSUd

"People in Gaza have been burying the bodies of dozens of Palestinians released by Israel.. many.. show signs of torture & mutilation" If these were Israeli bodies the story would have dominated the headlines for days & Starmer would have condemned Hamas's murderous brutality

I’ll say this again: so many mRNA-based phase II trials could be funded with a fraction of the money spent on spicy machine learning (not to mention things like adjuvants etc).

Brown rats are preying on bats at urban hibernation sites – even snatching them mid-air. Conservation efforts must include non-native rodent control at key bat roosts. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There is no moral gray area in the war in Ukraine. Ukraine fights for survival. Russia fights to force Ukrainians who survive to become Russians. Ukraine kills far more Russian soldiers, while Russia kills far more Ukrainian civilians

“It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products.” As @lollardfish.bsky.social notes, it’s not currently possible to use these tools ethically. And they are frankly dangerous. www.startribune.com/adam-raine-c...

"Some 67,000km² of virgin rainforest were destroyed last year,... nearly twice as much as was cleared in 2023. ... despite fluctuations, the pace of global deforestation is roughly the same as it was at the beginning of the decade./ www.economist.com/leaders/2025... From The Economist

Why are our governments giving massive VAT exemptions for flying?

Highly pathogenic avian influenza kills more than thousand Eurasian cranes in the German state of Brandenburg. Crane mortality also recorded in states of Thüringen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

In the name of ‘pragmatism’, green measures are being ditched, net zero derided. Be very clear: without slashing emissions we are in deep, deep trouble www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

I often hear my fly fishing buddies curse beavers for creating fish migration barriers, but they can also help these same fish by decanting suspended anorganics and filtering water.

"Trump is opgeschoven richting Zelenskiy" zeiden onze experts eergisteren nog in de media. Wanneer gaan mensen die dagelijks in de media te zien en te lezen zijn dat Trump Poetins schoothond is?

tl;dr 1. Studies of genAI in the classroom show that it harms learning 2. The quality of AI-generated text is irrelevant to its most negative effects on teaching 3. The way AI has entered the classroom is as a money-making project extracting new labour, not a “tool” serving teachers’ actual needs

Van varkenskoppen bij moskeeën tot wifisniffers: hoe pro- Russische 'wegwerpagenten' onrust veroorzaken in Europa vrtnws.be/p.NvnpAaqOw

"'Biofuels are responsible globally for 16% more CO2 emissions than the fossil fuels they replace due to the indirect impacts of farming & deforestation' 3,000 litres of water are needed to drive 100km on biofuels Solar panels cd create as much energy as biofuels while using just 3% as much land."

I wonder how often they met with climate scientists

Why living in Europe is better than living in the US, as viewed by someone who experienced both systems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Qv...

Human supremacy is a serious illness. Imagine one species of over 8 million on a planet evolves, only to decide all the others are just meat or nuisance.

A recently published paper by @teuneverts.bsky.social, @adriaenstim.bsky.social, and the team @inbo.be explores the use of Early-detection-rapid response and environmental DNA (eDNA)in dealing with the African clawed frog invasion. Read more here: neobiota.pensoft.net/article/1503...

I’m fisherman myself, with a deep rooted passion for fly fishing. And I support BirdLife here: abundant native wildlife is integral to healthy ecosystems. Culls distract from the real threats to fish populations: pollution, overfishing, habitat loss and poor water management.

Just astonishing how much focus there is on planting trees to hopefully create new forests for the future And all the while the plunder and destruction of our actual, existing forests just carries on worsening This is horrific news

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

We are amphifa

I know it's the most minor of minor points, but reclaiming the iconography of Frog from Pepe Edgelords warms my heart.

Tens of millions of essentially factory farmed poultry are dumped into the countryside each year. They boost the population of mesopredators like foxes, reducing ground nesting bird populations. They are an obvious avian flue hazard. They eat declining reptiles. Turn out they're also a health hazard

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen. She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented. Almost no one listened to her.
