“New research found that climate models predicting the biggest slowdown are the most realistic.” A sane, self-preserving humanity would indeed view this as a crisis

🇸🇩 SUDAN | 73,000 people have been newly displaced from Kurmuk, a border town in southeastern Sudan’s Blue Nile State near Ethiopia, after UAE-backed RSF and allied fighters seized the city on March 24. Displaced people are now seeking safety in the state capital, Ed Damazin, & surrounding areas...

Key statistics on extinction risk and population trends are moving in the wrong direction. An interim report ahead of #CMSCOP15 finds that 24% of species listed under @cms.int are globally threatened, while 49% have declining populations. Read the report: www.cms.int/publication/...

“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.

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.

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. 🌊

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
