“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.

Ja warum bloß? 🤔 Es ist ein Rätsel...

Sonntag gibt's an über 50 Orten in Deutschland Demos für ein Verbot der gesichert rechtsextremen AfD. Wer ist mit dabei? (Bitte teilt das und leitets weiter, je mehr wir sind, umso besser stehen die Chancen, dass was passiert)

So I know a lot of people get kind of perturbed when those of us on the academic and research side point out that the Republicans and the techno fascist goal is to purposely crash the market so their friends in venture capital can pick the bones of American government. But… Trump just posted this

🎉 #EISAPEC25 in Bologna has received a record-breaking number of submissions this year! We are pleased that EISA is seen to provide a positive space for the European IR community in these turbulent times. Thank you for your support!

Great job opportunity for postdocs in Hamburg...!

At this point, it is obvious that it is not safe for scholars to travel the US. There are no easy solutions for conferences scheduled in the US this year but it should be cleary to everyone involved that they cannot just go ahead as planned.

Coming to Bologna for EISA? Let me know! DM if you're interested in being on a panel on far-right and Global Environmental Politics/IOs I'm looking for other papers! @ninareiners.bsky.social @stephofmann.bsky.social @raffaelemstr.bsky.social Pls spread the word! eisa-net.org/pec-2025/

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Hier, unterzeichnet das und teilt es doch bitte überall, wo Ihr könnt! weact.campact.de/petitions/sc...

UPDATE: Responses to the Elon Musk-directed email to government employees about what work they accomplished over the past week are expected to be fed into an artificial intelligence system to determine whether those jobs are necessary or not, sources say.

🗓️ The deadline for submissions is this Friday. @uschroeder.bsky.social, @holgerniemann.bsky.social, and I are looking forward to your submissions!

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

I hesitate to post things by people I don't have a history of reading but I will take a risk and break that rule. This is chilling and the headline does not quite do the argument justice (IMO) so don't be misled. eladnehorai.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

Eigentlich müsste der Klimawandel das dominierende Thema des Wahlkampfs sein... eigentlich. Das Ausmaß der gesellschaftlichen Verdrängung ist fast so irre, wie die jüngsten Temperaturrekorde 😱
