A study published in Nature Communications shows that global warming may trigger an abrupt shift in the tropical climate system towards stronger and more predictable El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycles, intensifying climate impacts across the globe. go.nature.com/3JZGdku 🧪

The deep #sea (areas deeper than 200 metres) covers more than half our planet’s surface and accounts for over 90 per cent of the #ocean’s volume. It is Earth’s largest long-term #carbon sink. theconversation.com/the-deep-sea... via @theconversation.com @julianop.bsky.social @science.ubc.ca

COP30 COMPLAINTS: At the "subsidiary bodies" closing plenary earlier, many countries were "concerned" & "disappointed" over conclusions that failed to endorse IPCC as "best available science" & failed to fully reflect latest research Here's what they said 🧵

Lula took aim at “misinformation, hate-spreading algorithms, and climate denialism” in a rebuttal of the current backlash against green policies experienced around the globe. He said that overcoming the logistical challenges in Belen was a testament to what is possible with sufficient political will

At the opening of #COP30 today, IPCC Chair @jimskeaclimate.bsky.social stressed how “IPCC’s capacity to assess and synthesise the vast and continually growing body of scientific knowledge on climate change, its impacts, & available responses is unique”. ➡️ bit.ly/49bdxPF 📺 youtu.be/WzClHA8TiHI

My speech for the TIME Earth Award. Sharing in hopes that hearing the way I speak about our climate in rooms of power will encourage you to also speak up. Because the truth is that every one of us has a sphere of influence we should be activating. m.youtube.com/watch?v=8yMz...

On Oct. 7 in Brazil’s National Congress in Brasília, lawmakers, Indigenous leaders and civil society representatives gathered to present a global parliamentary investigation into the effort to phase out fossil fuels in the Amazon.

“…the U.S. is punishing Brazilians for doing something Americans should have done, but failed to: hold a former president accountable for attempting to overturn an election” So proud of my legal and democratic system! 🇧🇷L www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/o...

A paper in Nature suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪

Researchers, including Dr. William Cheung, found that more than one-third of the 347 #fish stocks would shift into the high seas by 2050, while at least one-fifth would shift into EEZs. news.mongabay.com/2025/08/clim... via @mongabay.com @julianop.bsky.social @ubccoru.bsky.social

“It could actually be that [a given] shift is even more pronounced in the region, or it could be that it’s not,” @julianop.bsky.social said, calling for localized and specialized research to supplement the study’s findings. news.mongabay.com/2025/08/clim... @mongabay.com @ubccoru.bsky.social

Super cool 😊, our research on the impacts of #climatechange to the distribution and management of shared fish stocks was highlighted in @natecoevo.nature.com ! Check it out here 👇 urldefense.com/v3/__https:/... (Thank you @walterandriuzzi.bsky.social !)

Super cool (and also bleak) reading! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“We identified 347 stocks across 67 species, that straddle the areas between regional EEZs and the high seas and their potential shift in distribution due to climate change, and the results were significant,” said @julianop.bsky.social @ubccoru.bsky.social oceans.ubc.ca/2025/07/30/s...

In Spain and Mexico, demand for octopus is up, but octopus populations are down. In both countries, octopus fishers are sticking to traditional fishing techniques while joining eco-certification schemes with tighter regulations, hoping to protect not just the cephalopods, but their own livelihoods.

Amazing, inspiring and empowering keynote from Sheena Talma at #OOSC When you think of a group of marine explorers, who do you think of? (Think about that)

Last day of #OOSC Alex Turra challenges to share capacity, opportunities and empower everyone everywhere to fight #marine litter “We need to make the “South” become “north””

“The #ocean plays a critical role in regulating the climate; it’s where a majority of heat is absorbed, it’s where an enormous amount of carbon is sequestered. The ocean is one of our greatest allies in the fight against the climate crisis” So proud! @divaamon.bsky.social time.com/7290414/deep...

Keiko Nomura sharing her research at #OOSC on nutrition and trade of marine fish in the South Pacific Island nations. Many of them loose important nutritional value by trade! @handle.invalid

Day 2 Session 2 #OOSC starts with a keynote by David Obura from @ipbes.net talking about the nexus and transformative change assessments - updating the talk he gave at the @emarineboard.bsky.social FORUM in April

Tayler Clarke presenting at #OOSC the results of her 3D modeling on consequences of #ClimateChange and oxygen minimum zones for tunas and other pelagics in the eastern tropical pacific #ETP
