More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém (Brazil), 12% up from last year’s talks in Baku, Azerbaijan. What should be the most serious, urgent talks on the planet continue to be a farce. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We often forget how far we have come: ➡️ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources. ➡️ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation. Source: @ember-energy.org

For a long time renewable energy uptake in Africa was lacklustre at best. But that is changing: Solar panel imports to Africa have surged over the past year—a shift poised to touch nearly every country on the continent as new Ember analysis shows.

When it comes to climate change, the number of amplifying feedback cycles far outweigh the dampening ones. But here's one in the latter category! Eating more meat -> higher GHG emissions -> more climate change -> more meat allergies -> lower GHG emissions More by @olliemilman.bsky.social here:

Great Barrier Reef fish reveal that large-scale macroecological patterns have changed significantly 🐟🐠 We found that changes in latitudinal diversity gradient & rising species turnover were strongly correlated with shifts in coral composition Out now in Nature Comms www.nature.com/articles/s41...

NEED SOME GOOD NEWS? The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels. Graph from @natbullard.bsky.social using @emberenergy.bsky.social data.

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Putting together a new 2h lecture from scratch, om fish as predators and prey. Any suggestions on important/cool examples I should not miss to bring up?

Welcome @mpc-ocean.bsky.social, @kschulz.bsky.social, @scientistoriana.bsky.social, @jpgattuso.bsky.social, and @markh22.bsky.social - great to have you here! I'm adding you to this feed of 2,750 scientists that you can pin, and I recommend my starter packs to find more follows.

I already know this will be excellent! 🐟🪸🌍🦑 #fisheries

Anybody knows good source where I can find information on the productivity of coral reef algae *and: corals? I would like to compare them, just for teaching purposes. Naive question, I know. 🧪🦑

Very interesting short piece about the importance of herbivorous reef fish as a nutritious source of #seafood, by Alice Rogers. As #coral reefs continue to change in a warming world, it is important to consider how #fisheries services to people will also change. www.cell.com/current-biol... 🪸🧪🐠🦑🌍

Hey everyone! We're taking our first steps into this novel ecosystem… We're hoping to find a diverse habitat brimming with interesting nature and ecology content 🌳🐋🦎🐜 Who should we follow? If you're a BES member, ecologist, nature lover, say hello! 👋

You're a coral, living on a tropical reef in the middle of a big ocean. You need nutrients. HOORAY, here's a shark coming to poo after scoffing fish from deep water: its poo is fertilizer for the reef This really happens. But if the sharks stay away, the reef has a problem 🌊 tinyurl.com/59ueeaep

I'm glad we're finally at a point where these kinds of developments are considered illegal. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
