Oh no, there goes a good excuse for feeling tired. You won’t need it anymore now, but isn’t ‘Frühjahrsmüdigkeit’ a beautiful German word? www.dw.com/en/study-bus...

I’ve always had a feeling that it might be bad that most people hate math and now I know why it’s bad. Because you’re fooled way too easily if you don’t do your math. If you don’t know where your money goes, if you don’t know which decisions make your life better, and when politicians are lying.

THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO CALCULATE PERCENTAGES!

“It’s not normal. It is not acceptable to be killing healthcare workers, attacking ambulances and healthcare facilities.”

🥳 Here we go: Sentinel-1D is available operationally and data have started to accumulate over the weekend. Easiest way to access them is via Copernicus Browser, where a filter for Sentinel-1D has been added last Friday. #EarthObservation #Copernicus #Sentinel1 browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu

Turnout and media coverage were ok but organizers and police reported very different participant counts. Not great for building trust. Anyway, even in the middle of another oil crisis it’s more of a niche thing, while the majority of people can’t be bothered. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

People will take to the streets in four major German cities this Saturday to protest against the government’s plans to limit renewable energy installation. Organizers demand to rather focus on upgrading the power grid and installing storage capacities. erneuerbare-energien-verteidigen.de

✈️ DLR's Falcon 20E flew behind a passenger aircraft & found that less soot doesn't mean fewer contrails. Tiny fuel & oil particles can form ice crystals too – meaning aviation's climate impact is bigger than we thought. The study, published in Nature, will help improve aviation's climate impact.

Thermal sensing extends beyond hotspots🌍 FOREST-2, developed by OroraTech, detects both active fires and lower-intensity heat sources — helping researchers better track wildfire behaviour, monitor urban heat and understand how temperature extremes evolve. Read more🔗 earth.esa.int/eogateway/su...

A firm reminder at a moment the world seems to need it.

Easter Sunday = spring sun + ice cream. Always. It’s a law.

"In Jan 2025, Laurence Rees published The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings from History. He laid out the twelve specific patterns, the twelve warning signs, the twelve psychological and political conditions that allowed a cultured, educated, democratic nation to descend into fascism and commit genocide.

I did not really expect to get excited about Artemis but the pictures and videos have me shaking, like this one I just watched: www.nasa.gov/video-detail... www.nasa.gov/gallery/jour...

OMG

#ClimateAction That’s true. We are not helpless victims, we can lead. And we can elect people who care about climate change. Voting is an important climate action. The thread is a great read, discussing all the actions and arguments.

We do have the most beautiful planet of all.

Only the THIRD comet from outside our solar system ever observed: 3I/ATLAS ESA’s JUICE mission, on its years-long journey to Jupiter, turned on its instruments last November to find out more about its behavior.

Goodbye Sentinel-1A 🥲. Phase-out starting. It’s actually good news because the new Sentinel-1D satellite is almost ready to take over and data are to start flowing from mid of this month. #EarthObservation #Copernicus #Sentinel1 sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel...

Reminder that Trump has, since returning to office, committed a grand total of zero new dollars in military aid to Ukraine (the tiny amount at the start of 2025 was agreed under the Biden administration). www.kielinstitut.de/topics/war-a...

Expert opinion for the German Bundestag stating the obvious: The Iran war is illegal. The only surprise here is that this needs an expert opinion and that it took so long. www.zeit.de/politik/deut...

This is insane. Show this to everyone who’s not up for protests yet.

Germany will not hand in a statement to defend Israel against the genocide case at the International Court of Justice, contrary to earlier plans. www.commondreams.org/news/germany...

Our Earth’s atmosphere is beautiful and powerful, we should always remember.

That is sadly impressive.

This war is such a disaster. theconversation.com/what-is-the-...

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

I put together a guide to the best tools for verifying images, spotting deepfakes, checking claims, and seeing past media bias. Most are free. With AI making fakes cheaper & faster than ever, knowing how to check things yourself has never been more important!

Judge for yourself which AI to trust. Claude gave the most responsible answers. I will keep that in mind. Some of the report’s content makes you laugh although it’s not appropriate. DeepSeek wished “Happy (and safe) shooting!”

It’s an insane experiment that we’re performing here. I remember memorizing 370 ppm, not realizing at the time how fast that value would be obsolete. Now, we’re at 430 ppm.

Sending you some sunshine against the dark of reality.

This is not a great statement by France, the UK, and Germany. There is no mention at all that the US and Israel started this war. And I for sure don’t believe that Trump cares about the Iranian people in any way. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

India wants AI companies to pay royalties for training data. It's about compensating creators and avoiding decade-long lawsuits, and could set a global precedent https://restofworld.org/2026/india-ai-data-license-fee/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social

Wow ❄️, it’s been snowing big time for the last few hours. Took a little longer than usual to climb the hill to go grocery shopping (because snow plowing is only available for cars and not pedestrians 🙂). Been longing for spring but it IS kind of beautiful right now.

Literally cannot stress enough that if I, a climate scientist, were running a scam it would be a lot more fun than this

Read @agu.org's denunciation of the news here: fromtheprow.agu.org/agu-denounce...

Clean air is what you get from clean cars, but they want dirty cars forever! Ridiculous, the whole point of the Endangerment Finding was to protect human health and the environment, so why eliminate it if that was still their mission?

It’s possible to reduce emissions while growing the economy. Many countries have decoupled economic growth from CO₂ emissions, even if we take offshored production into account. You can see this in the chart for a selection of large economies.

Been building a Lego house with my nieces and nephews with bricks from my own childhood. My mom had even kept the instruction booklet and most of the pieces were still there. Couldn’t believe it at first.

This has always been my favorite conspiracy theory, and it might even be true 😄. Would at least explain the flaws of reality, like, how are people like Trump actually VOTED into power. theconversation.com/is-the-whole...

💡New Study: Southern Africa was hit by intense rainfall this month. Our analysis has found that downpours in the region are now 40% more intense than they were in pre-industrial times. The resulting floods across Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini have been catastrophic. 🧵 (1/4)
