If I had a dime for everyone that told me I was exaggerating... '...under 2 °C of global warming, which could be reached over the coming decade. Such a weakening of the overturning circulation would substantially affect the climate and ecosystems.' www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great to see Alt over here - where's the rest of you?

🔴 Hundreds of representatives of industrial agriculture accessed the UN climate talks again this year It comes after UN experts called for major reforms to protect the summits from corporate interests My latest for @desmog.bsky.social & @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'Even mature wetlands will eventually succumb to rising seas if rates of erosion and inundation outpace sedimentation. That is, unless they have somewhere to run.' A fascinating and complicated story, beautifully told with stunning photos. Should be on the cover of Nat'l Geo. Well worth the read!

Not just fossil fuels but food systems as well - methane and nitrous oxides from industrial animal agriculture are far more potent greenhouse gases, pushing us rapidly towards the tipping point.

Now THAT is behavioural science in action! Most people do want to be more environmentally friendly. We need to understand the barriers to action, not just the drivers (hint: it's not always just about money).

Island Press is awesome! Many a Christmas or birthday gift I've purchased from them. Wide variety of topics and really reasonably priced. (I do wish they would bring back their webinars though - some great author interviews.)

Now, if only we were more likely to be listened to...

Declared extinct, the slender-billed curlew slipped from the world in the way of rare things: gradually, quietly, & irretrievably. “How can we expect countries beyond Europe to step up for their species when our comparatively wealthy countries have failed?” - Nicola Crockford. mongabay.cc/LwZQ0v

Interesting follow-up to YPCCC's 'Six Americas'. Check out their new (and - for me - surprising) report on 'The Four Irelands' along with a pretty cool (no pun intended) interactive map. climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications...

Food, health, climate nexus #COP29. Focus on Burkina Faso. If you cannot make it in person, there’s a zoom link. Your panel.

Please do this--my (Democratic) congressman's office has not been getting calls on this, so your call can make a difference. This currently bipartisan bill, which is being fast-tracked, would hand Trump a loaded weapon to destroy any nonprofit whose mission he dislikes.

Hiya! I'm an oceanographer-turned-behavioural scientist from the West Coast of the US, just finishing my PhD here in London. I study behavioural insights to help shift us to more sustainable diets, focusing on behavioural public policy. Please reach out! www.lse.ac.uk/PBS/People/Heidi-Zamzow
