No money for nature coming from the Climate & Nature Fund! The Government have completely undermined what this fund was about.

Historisches Gutachten Int.Gerichtshof: Länder gesetzlich verpflichtet (nicht nur durch Pariser Abkommen) gegen Klimawandels vorzugehen u Schäden zu beheben. Auch Stopp neuer Öl-/Gasfelder u fossiler Subventionen. Risiko vor Gericht zu verlieren nun deutlich höher. www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

Das ist historisch! Einstufung einer sauberen Umwelt als Menschenrecht durch den Internationalen Gerichtshof 👏👏 Jetzt gilt umso mehr: Wenn die Bundesregierung ihre Ziele beim Klima- und Naturschutz nicht deutlich nachbessert, handelt sie klar völker- und menschenrechtswidrig.

Glad my graduate alma mater cut 60 degree programs in subjects that require people to think so that they could offer this. Looking forward to living in a world full of Prompt Engineers.

Getting on a flight to Istanbul, apparently everyone with Global Entry on the Turkish Airlines flight have had their TSA PreCheck invalidated. When I asked if it was normal to have PreCheck ignored for no reason, explanation was "there is a reason, you just don't know what it is..."

So good to see the FT finally call out the Conservative Party for its reckless non-sense on climate: on.ft.com/451lwfr “How magical thinking came for net zero critics”

I will never take anyone seriously who says we need to raise the birth rates or face human extinction but it’s especially sickening now that the oligarchs have chosen to hoard even more resources by cutting off aid and killing millions of kids in the process

The rise of Lyme disease in the Northeast US can be traced back to 18th and 19th century deforestation, followed by reforestation without predator recovery. A history professor explains: buff.ly/PKYbODV By @seandlawrence.bsky.social‬, West Virginia University

Happy Juneteenth, to those who celebrate. Double Happy Juneteenth to those who don't. Good morning. 🙂

Since LLMs are trained on mass language use on the internet, the lesson here is that, as it turns out, most of what people say and write most of the time is bullshit.

Honestly loathe that abundance stuff is probably just gonna shape up into a left-punching pro-privatization donor pleasing soiree instead of state-capacity building labor liberalism

Looking forward to this online workshop, organized by Johanna Conterio (Oslo), to prepare an edited volume on ecologies of health and disease in Eurasia. #envhist www.hf.uio.no/iakh/english...

The decline of large seed-dispersing animals has serious implications for trees and other flora. It's also further proof of how very short-sighted it is to view forests as merely bunches of trees, rather than the complex *ecosystems* they are (or at least, should be). www.nature.com/articles/s44...

This budget proposal if passed will devastate the US leadership in science, engineering and medicine. The public needs to speak up. 🧪

Amongst the 57% cuts, this budget would: close half of the @ligo.org gravitational wave observatory; fund the Giant Magellan Telescope in Chile but not the Thirty Meter Telescope in Hawaii; and drastically reduce the number of NSF grants available to researchers and students. ☄️⚛️🧪

Killing 1.6 trillion wild fish every year—the estimated toll of global fisheries—might also have subtle, long-term consequences on the animals’ minds and bodies. Over many generations, it could even influence fish evolution. 🧪

Elegance of the English language: "In sync" is so much crisper than... ..."Gleichschaltung".

Fed Chair Powell graduation remarks to Princeton nod toward our current predicament: "Look around you. I urge you to take none of this for granted. When you look back in 50 years, you will want to know that you have done whatever it takes to preserve and strengthen our democracy."

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today. The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Nothing to see here. Move along. 🙃

Hilderbrand’s Field of Dreams myth of restoration - “if you build it, they will come” captured the presumption that restoring plant communities will lead to recovery of animal communities Maybe trophic rewilding has the reverse myth - ‘if you introduce animals, ecosystems will build’

“US higher education: come for the quarter million price tag, stay for being snatched off the street because your school forwarded your op ed to the feds”

It’s almost like none of this was ever remotely about protecting Jews

Climate TRACE shows you where and when greenhouse gas emissions are occurring.

I am finding the whole genre of earnest posts that go 'ah yes the foolproof authoritarian playbook obviously is 1. impoverish everyone 2. ??? 3. profit" pretty annoying, mostly because it is completely ahistorical and shows again that no one does any reading of anything

Wo wir mittlerweile angekommen sind: Forscherinnen hierzulande müssen Klimadaten aus den USA retten, weil dort in Kürze erste (Klima-) Plattformen abgeschaltet werden. Und noch krasser: Weil dort die Angst vor Trump groß ist, werden Gespräche zur Rettung der Daten teilweise abgebrochen.

President Trump on Thursday said he was allowing commercial fishing in one of the world’s largest ocean reserves, introducing industrial operations for the first time in more than a decade to a vast area of the Pacific dotted with coral atolls and populated by endangered sea turtles and whales.
