Use coal for over two centuries. Close the last plant in 2024 and claim 'climate leadership'. Drill the North Sea for oil and gas to near-depletion. Then announce a 'ban' with relaxations to drill more in existing fields. No one does 'climate leadership' like the UK

The Swedish King stepping in it today in Brazil by suggesting that the multilateral climate change process is likely to fail and that Europe does not have any responsibility to pay for climate change impacts on the Global South. He is wrong and should be prevented from making such statements.

In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas, started fucking bombing Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.

Only a pre-print for now, but after 4 years of hard work I couldn't resist sharing this! The Global Canopy Atlas: analysis-ready maps of 3D structure for the world's woody ecosystems 📜: doi.org/10.1101/2025... Huge team effort led by the brilliant Fabian Fischer!

The Gaza holocaust will be a litmus test for high-profile figures for decades. Everyone's comments or lack thereof on Israel's genocidal atrocities will be looked up and amplified whenever their name rises to public attention.

Saw some folks saying they didn’t believe Greta Thunberg had been tortured by the Israelis so here is her account. Itamar Ben-Gvir personally oversaw it.

We have several open MSc thesis projects! Here is one of those:

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*. Instead, they DROPPED exponentially. Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

Whales feed on deep-living krill, but their POOP is 'flocculent' (fluffy?) & floats to the surface. The nutrients they obtain from eating krill are cycled UPWARDS. When a krill dies 'naturally' or is eaten by a fish, that poop forms "marine snow" and SINKS where it no longer cycles.
