“force over-reaction” yeah OK

Researchers studying fin, humpback, and minke whales in the Gulf of St Lawrence have found that the animals are eating more fish and less krill than they did in the past. Scientists say the shift could be a result of growing competition for prey as warming waters disrupt marine food supplies.

Multilateralism doesn’t work well without diplomats

This is an awesome opportunity! Need more students on bluesky to spread the word.

Plastic isn’t just waste. In many of the world’s poorest cities, it’s fuel. Burning plastic releases toxic smoke; not just CO₂, but chemicals that damage lungs, hormones, and immune systems. This is what material overshoot looks like at ground level.

Few species have come back from the brink like the overhunted blue whale — but now they face food insecurity issues #whales #biodiversity

Many people think about cold in Northern Europe if the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC fails. But that wouldn’t be the only problem for Europe by far. This new study shows that severe drought is another one. 🌊

Not good at all

The thing about solar geoengineering is that once you start you cannot stop *ever* unless somehow you have already removed all the multi-billions of tons of carbon emitted since the day you started. If you stop at the higher CO2 concentration you get virtually instantaneous catastrophic heating.

Widespread mortality of warm-water coral reefs is underway as the world reaches its first climate tipping point. The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 underlines that the only way to avert catastrophe is to act urgently. Research from @sthlmresilience.bsky.social www.su.se/english/news...

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today. Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100. Our paper on that is out today.🧵

Long overdue so let’s do it

“A few percentage points a year may not have the ring of disaster. “But if you run that forward just four decades,” Wagner says, “we’re talking about nearly half the tree of life disappearing in one human lifetime. That is absolutely catastrophic.”
