New @eea.europa.eu report on #environment and #climate is a shocking read ... 🍃 EU’s “carbon sink” has declined by 30% in a decade as logging, wildfires and pests damage forests 💧 Water stress already affects one in three Europeans 🦡 > 80% of protected habitats are in poor/bad state 🗺️🧪⚒️🌊🌍

Weekend recharge with fungi hunting in local Oxfordshire woodlands This autumn seems to be a great season for fly agarics 🍄🍄‍🟫🌳🍂 #fungi #mycology #forestbathing

On these occasions - full respect to the people of the UK, who also christened 'Boaty McBoatface' 🇬🇧🛤️🍁🚆

Latest data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social show that August 2025 was the third warmest on record globally (after 2023 and 2024). Europe had its fourth warmest summer season, with some countries such as the UK having their warmest summer on record.

Thanks @davidho.bsky.social for the wonderful portrait and inclusion in your #scientist portraits! A delightful evening with you and @helenczerski.bsky.social and my smile is a reflection on that rather than the state of the world 🌊🌡️🌎

Incredible growth in the scale of devastating Iberian Peninsula #wildfires through mid-August reflected in #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS estimated fire emissions with Spain reaching it's highest annual total of past 23 years (& Portugal's since 2017) @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @ecmwf.int #IIFF

Excellent #dataviz of European summer #wildfires by the @data.ft.com team Our warmer world is increasing the risk of wildfires through 🌡️ More frequent and intense heatwaves 🔥 Droughts and hotter, dryer springs/summers lead to dryer soils and fuel loads #ClimateAction 🧪⚒️🗺️

Hugely exciting update from @esa.int and @eumetsat.int - Sentinel 5 successfully launched, once operational this 🛰️ will significantly improve our atmospheric monitoring capabilities for #ClimateAction. Read more: www.eoportal.org/satellite-mi... 🌡️🌍🧪⚒️🗺️

High sea surface temperatures continue in the #Arctic Much warmer in the Bering Strait, Canadian Arctic and south of Greenland in August 2025 compared with August 2024. Maps from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ClimatePulse 🌊🧪⚒️❄️ #ClimateAction

LOVE this!! #ClimateAction

Heatwaves in June 2025 were intensified by record breaking Mediterranean temperatures more than 5°C above average Impacts of marine #heatwaves: 🪸🐠 heat stress in marine ecosystems 🌊 📉 reduce oxygen levels effecting ocean industries 🥵 Increase humidity, ⬆️ heat stress for people ➕many more

🌡️ June 2025 was the 3rd warmest June globally 🥵 June 2025 saw an exceptional #heatwave impact large parts of western Europe 🌊 This heatwave was made more intense by record ocean temperatures. #climate change means heatwaves are: 🌞more frequent, 📈 more intense & 🌍 impact more people 🧪⚒️

When press releases go wrong!! There is *NO* ocean current reversal 🌊🧪⚒️ Excellent write up from @micefearboggis.bsky.social on the importance of verifying the scientific paper (or any source material) that a PR is based on: diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/2025/07/07/s... Don't fall for #climate 🎣

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

Exciting new application from the #CopernicusAtmosphere @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social team. Global Methane Explorer - investigate global #methane #emissions detected by the TROPOMI instrument on Sentinel 5P satellite apps.atmosphere.copernicus.eu/methane-expl... 🛰️⛽🧪⚒️🌍

Happy summer/winter #solstice and #showyourstripes day Presenting the @edhawkins.org #climate and #ocean stripes at #UNOC3 in Nice. Dress embroidery highlighting biodiversity loss in a warming, acidifying, over-exploited ocean 🌊🧪⚒️🌏🌡️

I usually say that 1.5°C or 2°C of warming is not a threshold, but a TARGET to stay under. Here, Ben Santer and colleagues warn that future climate change will be larger than in recent decades, and our near-term choices will decide if we cross the THRESHOLD of dangerous anthropogenic interference.

Is our planet losing resilience? Rates of warming in both the atmosphere and the ocean are increasing 🌊🌡️🌍🧪⚒️ #UNOC3 #ClimateAction

Beautiful morning in Nice for #UNOC3 looking forward to connecting with many colleagues and the @copernicusmarine.bsky.social session today on the importance of ocean monitoring for #SDG14 and #climateaction

May 2025 breaks an unprecedented long sequence of months over 1.5ºC above pre-industrial 🌡️ May 2025 was the second warmest May globally 📈 May 2025 was 1.40°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average 🌊 SSTs were the 2nd highest on record for May, with an extreme marine heatwave in the North Atlantic

Wherever you live in the world, your climate is getting warmer. 21st June is #ShowYourStripes day when we encourage everyone to use the warming stripes graphics to talk about climate change and how we are all already experiencing the consequences. Download your stripes: www.ShowYourStripes.info

Full room at Cheltenham Science Festival for our session on observing the #ocean with @helenczerski.bsky.social and @plymouthmarine.bsky.social Victor Martinez Vicente #scicomm #earthibs 🌊🛰️🧪⚒️

Looking forward to joining @helenczerski.bsky.social and chatting about ocean observations at Cheltenham Science Festival this afternoon 🌊🛰️🧪⚒️

Important: if you think that governments should move faster on climate, enacting policies now for a cleaner, greener future, *** you are in the MAJORITY ***. A huge majority. HT to @tomheap.bsky.social for digging out this Nature paper on who actually wants what. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New study confirms that the famous 'cold blob' or 'warming hole' observed in the northern Atlantic is caused by a weakening Atlantic overturning circulation. 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Folks, fractals are everywhere, and they are inspiration for your work. They demonstrate the power of small, how little details make up something vast and complex. You are part of a dynamic system and you matter. Keep going!

Extraordinary video of the collapse of Birch Glacier - incredible early warnings led to evacuation ahead of time ❄️⚒️🧪🌡️ #ClimateCrisis

Wonderful way to spend a bank holiday weekend - recharging by the ocean 🌊🥾🧪⚒️

Record high sea surface temperatures around Ireland and the UK currently. Hopefully the event is short-lived and does not have major impacts for #biodiversity, #fisheries and aquaculture. #ClimateCrisis 🌊🧪⚒️🌡️

Peak wisteria at RHS Wisley this weekend - stunning, fragrant and filled with buzzing bees 🌸🌱🐝🧪

Globally, April 2025 was the second-hottest April on record, continuing the long sequence of months over 1.5ºC above pre-industrial. Continuous #climate monitoring is an essential tool for understanding and responding to the ongoing changes of our climate system. 🌡️🧪⚒️🌊🌎🛰️

Sea ice data on @polarportal is from European @osi_saf group, sea ice thickness + Greenland surface mass balance is from @dmidk.bsky.social's operational models + #grace satellite data is from our partners @dtucryo created as part of the @esaclimate.. ❄️🥼⚒️🧪⛏️🌊 […]

The Arctic is one of the fastest changing places due to climate change. To stop monitoring the polar regions is the equivalent of burying our proverbial collective head in the sand ❄️🧪⚒️🌡️🛰️🌏

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

How are #heatwaves changing in #Europe? According to the European #Climate Report, 2024 saw: 🌡️ Record-breaking ‘strong heat stress’ days and tropical nights in southeastern Europe during summer 🥵 In recent decades, heat has been the leading cause of reported deaths due to extreme weather 🌍🧪⚒️🌡️🌊

Peak bluebell in Oxfordshire. Love this time of year - the fragrance of a bluebell wood is exquisite! 🌸🌱🧪🌍 #bluebell #spring

Really exciting sounding knowledge exchange for climate/energy policy with Prof Dave Brayshaw @unirdg-met.bsky.social #job #recruiting #climate #energy 🧪⚒️🌏🔋

1000% this ⬇️

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

In March 2025 @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social show that: 📉 Arctic sea ice reached its lowest monthly extent for March in the 47-year satellite record, at 6% below average #SeaIce #Arctic #ClimateAction 🌍⚒️🧪❄️🌊

Latest from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows March 2025 continued to break temperature records 🌡️ Warmest March for Europe 📈 Second warmest March globally, 1.60°C above the pre-industrial level 🌍 20th month in the last 21 months more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial level #climate 🛰️🧪⚒️🗺️

A new study by researchers in Tasmania, Finland and France — published in @naturecomms.bsky.social today — reveals that water flowing beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a much bigger role in ice loss than current models assume. @aunz.theconversation.com ▶️ theconversation.com/antarcticas-...
