😢 "Perhaps the most striking findings is that the British public vastly overestimates the cost getting to net zero by almost 14,000%, fueling scepticism & a reluctance to pay. On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to @thecccuk.bsky.social forecast of just 0.2%"

*rant on* The UK academic world is dying from its own form of capitalism. We are so busy that time for the community is almost impossible to find. Being a journal editor is mad (finding reviewers), supervising a PhD is fun until you need to find an external examiner... * rant off ** (* never off)

🌲 Very happy to share our new study on where, when, and why trees die across the range of 3 major southern US pines: Pinus taeda, P. palustris, and P. elliottii (loblolly, longleaf, and slash pine). 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/geb.70141 @ird-fr.bsky.social @umramap.bsky.social @ulbrecherche.bsky.social 🧵1/9

Take nothing for granted, make sure to get out and vote Connolly tomorrow. This presidential election has the potential to bring about a major shift in Irish politics, with a united left providing a real alternative to over a century of tweedledum tweedledee FF/FG. share.google/8EX5qs8gi3mX...

Such a cool project!

You've probably noticed a few more berries, fruits, nuts and seeds from our trees this year – the mast year! 🍎 Let us know what you've found by recording with us!

the EU parliament is looking for a native-level irish speaker for a press officer traineeship, starting next march it's paid (€1660/month, no tax) and is a pretty sweet opportunity to see how the EU sausage is made, and a chance to try brussels (if you're not already here) deadline end of october!

Sweden's Greta Thunberg is dehydrated, under-fed and being held in poor conditions ans subjected to intimidation by the Israelis after being illegally kidnapped in international waters - and her government is saying nothing. As pathetic as they are spineless. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

If the world leaders cannot stop a genocide, and instead prosecute humanitarian activists, can we hope they will act against climate change based on evidence? Or is the only way forward large-scale boycott and divestment to force their hands?

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

I need this. We all do. Not to forget, but to rest and be strong to fight climate change, apartheid, endless resource exploitation, green washing, misogyny, xenophobia, authoritarianism and other madnesses slowly burning our planet. Alternatives exist and we'll get them.

Affordable Social Housing with mostly Renewable Materials. Just imagine the empowerment of the constuction workers and renters who would work on good things and profit from the transition. Imagine the impact this would have on conscious decisions in elections. strawbuilding.eu/7-storey-mod...

During the night, a new massacre struck western Gaza as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area sheltering displaced families, leaving many children killed and injured.

Jeremy Bowen: UN genocide report a blunt indictment of Israel's actions in Gaza

If you still use Google I have a simple question: Why?

I had no idea. Not sure what I'd do if my employer was going to an arm fair. @ucu.org.uk could get involved?

Earlier this week a paper dramatically reduced the realistic potential for forest carbon storage. Now another downgrades the capacity of geological storage. Emissions reductions are the only effective climate action.

U o South Wales won't accept applications from Palestine despite being a university of sanctuary. Wtf?

Colleagues at McGill uni, any reaction on campus ?

Ghada Sasa Last month, Israel destroyed Palestine's national seed bank. This is a settler colony that wants to annihilate not only Palestinians, but all Indigenous flora and fauna. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😪

Did I mention that ecocides work often with g.nocid.?

Guys, I only have 4 days left… Either I pay my tuition and keep going in dental school, or I lose my last hope after losing everything in this gen0cide.

This, by @jasonhickel.bsky.social, is the clearest explanation I have yet read of why the US and UK governments continue to support the Israeli government, regardless of its great crimes against humanity. jasonhickel.substack.com/p/why-does-t...

“Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn. Campaigners call for Paris-style parking charges amid fears big vehicles are taking up excessive public space.” Cities need smart, specific strategies to manage vehicle size. It’s about space & safety.

Wildfire smoke and air pollution: What you can’t see can still harm your health. As #wildfires grow more intense and widespread, the air pollution they cause is putting millions at risk—especially children, older adults, pregnant people, and those with preexisting health

So: going carfree is great too, but not so easy for many and arguably with much less benefits. For instance: just cutting down a bit on meat in the UK (with a population and diet habits comparable to France) would be the climate equivalent of removing 8 million cars: www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...

Bye bye AirBnb, illegal settlements shouldn't be used for holidays (and no one should fuel a genocide)

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.

The Guardian wrote an excellent piece on how Palestinians, Gazans are being chased off Bluesky en masse, all while being surrounded by constant bombing, and a manufactured famine. Please share. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
