Entry for #duvetknowitschristmas from Antarctica: the Wasa station was established in 1989. And it looks like the very soft and high quality bed linen has been there since basically then. Here is my sleeping bunk. Tak Sverige!

Tilbage på Wasa station for juleaftensdag - Jeg skal snakke med @andreasnyholm.bsky.social på TV2 news cirka kl12.15 om vores #iQ2300 projekt og hvad det er jeg egentlig gøre i Antarktis lige nu, hvis i er ikke ellers optaget og synes det lyder interessant..

And the finest Christmas tradition has arrived — #DuvetKnowItsChristmas is today! 1) Follow @rhodri.biz 2) post your pics of your makeshift Christmas Eve sleeping arrangements and 3) give money to the homeless @centrepointuk.bsky.social

If EU institutions + countries don't immediately start the process of migration from US tech +SoMe to free EU alternatives, we've only ourselves to blame..

“Imran Ahmed, chief executive of Centre for Countering Digital Hate; Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization; former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs; and Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index.”

The U.S. is fueling euro nationalism like never before. Liberal parties who support a more federal Europe will do well thanks to America's bashing of them. The U.S. leadership is proving a severe lack of understanding of Europe. Younger generations want more Europe, not less.

Every point here: Europe to build its own social media infrastructure and further restrict social media with a manipulated algorithm. This must be set in clear terms so that everyone understands what's going on and cannot cry foul when it's going to happen.

Russian elites are obtaining Serbian passports with visa-free access to the EU during the war. Among them are an FSB special forces member, a friend of Nikolay Patrushev, nuclear weapons manufacturers, a close associate of Ramzan Kadyrov, and dozens of others. storage.googleapis.com/istories/en/...

On Tuesday, the Trump regime imposed visa bans on a former EU commissioner and anti-disinformation activists, alleging censorship of US social media. 1/6

Prediction, less in than 24 hours, GAS PACIFIC will spoof her position near an anchorage in the GOF and continue to Ust-Luga. Watch which ground station is reporting her position.

Mange mænds skæbne. Først tror de på Julemanden. Så spiller de ham. Til sidst ligner de ham.

A small change of plan since I wrote this, we're off this afternoon with a good weather window Settling in.. It's been a busy few days at Wasa station but we've been settling in with various trainings and some tantalising hints of interesting data ... sternaparadisaea.net/2025/12/20/s...

I genuinely think this is one of the most interesting things about politics in England. The polls and actual elections all tell us 'Labour are super-unpopular and shedding votes to another challenger in their bloc' but they tell us different things about which challenger that actually *is*.

I'm at Wasa station in Antarctica for a 7 week field season. I'll be posting #iQ2300 photos on pixelfed in case that's of interest to anyone.. pixelfed.social/IceClimate

TL;DR: Russia has decided that the UK is Russia's enemy, and there's nothing we can do to change that as long as Putin is in power. The choice is whether to be an undefeated enemy or a defeated one. That's all the choice we get.

2023 was exceptional 📊 • 1.97 cm rise from 2022 to 2023 • Second highest annual jump ever recorded • 95% of African waters showed elevated levels • Peak months: November and December El Niño + Atlantic Niño = compound drivers 🌡️

More regional trends 🗺️ 🟣 Agulhas Current: 3.00 mm/yr 🟤 Benguela Current: 2.98 mm/yr ⚪ Mediterranean: 2.70 mm/yr (lowest) Why is the Mediterranean lowest? Increasing salinity suppresses the rise! 🧂

Re last SLR in Africa post, the main author is here! Great thread outlining the paper.. 👇

Amongst that with 250+ million people 👥 living along Africa's coasts and the continent contributing less than 4% of global emissions, this is a story of climate injustice ⚖️ unfolding in real-time.

Always happy to engage with Finnish MPs, this time with Defence Committee 🇫🇮 Finland is a perfect example where defence readiness is a 'whole society' mission. Europe faces increasing security challenges. Everyone in the EU will need contribute to European security.

"Putin's participation at this year's congress of the Russian Geographical Society showed a major level of Kremlin support to the expansionist efforts of the Society." Expect the worst. #StopRussiaArmUkraine 🇺🇦

HURRAH! Petitions are crap at making gov'ts do things they don't want to. But they are good for two things: First, making them explain why they won't do something, but second (and more important) nudging/giving them permission to do something they DO want, but that's been crowded out bandwidth-wise.

I strategize 2026 helps you build a one-page plan + quarterly roadmaps so drift doesn’t happen in the first place. 👉

Fifty-three percent, an absolute majority, regard Nigel Farage "very unfavourably". He is the most disliked politician in the UK. And yet he dominates the media agenda.

This photo was taken during our #fieldwork in #Qaanaaq this year, which saw the earliest break up in our record of sea ice. The melting of the Greenland ice sheet has a global impact, but there are big local impacts too. Full details of this year's melt season in @carbonbrief.org now

I was going to share a horrible ad hominem attack on Robin Ince by a real pos in the Spectator. But thought better of it. Robin is such a thoughtful and talented guy, who is a pleasure to talk to. Saw his show twice at this year’s Fringe and enjoyed his poignant poetry.

Finally, here it is. Also this year, I have together with @ruthmottram.bsky.social commented on the fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Thanks for your patience, @carbonbrief.org. One of the highlights: 2024/25 was the 29th year in a row with net mass loss. See www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-h...

In a recent follow-up study by @linusvogt.bsky.social (esd.copernicus.org/articles/16/...), we found that many climate models simulate too much Antarctic sea ice. That bias can lead to underestimating future warming. More real-world sea ice loss → more absorbed heat → stronger warming response.

"The fragility of Africa’s coasts is further exacerbated by the deteriorating condition of its marine ecosystems... under mounting pressure from both climate and anthropogenic stressors, including unregulated development, dam-induced sediment trapping, and habitat degradation"

🌟Meet our Group🌟 Sebastian B. Simonsen (@eo4cryo.bsky.social) is a senior researcher using satellite altimetry to study ice sheets, sea-level change, snow, and ice dynamics. Lately focused on data-driven models and digital twins. PI for Digital Twin Ice Sheets.‬‬‬‬‬‬ Also involved in C3S and CCI.

We finally got it out! @martinstendel.bsky.social and I have been writing these for ten years or so now. We were a bit late this year, must plan better next year, but many thanks to @carbonbrief.org team for patience and good editing!

🧵 1/?: Switching a Research Desktop to Linux (Intro & Prehistory) 1/ This is the first in a series of threads/mini-tutorials I'll be posting on switching a real academic research & development desktop to Linux. Not a “open source rocks” 🧵— this is about doing actual science. #ChemSky #AcademicSky

The number of glaciers disappearing worldwide each year is projected to sharply increase, peaking at 2,000–4,000 per year around the middle of the century, depending on the level of warming above pre-industrial levels, according to a study in Nature Climate Change. go.nature.com/4pEfbP5 ⚒️ 🧪

I read it in Danish. It's a really good book and you should also read it. Very clarifying on a range of subjects about conflicts which I'd never really thought about before..

There is also at play a reluctance to face the possibility that prominent Right wing journalists that Labour figures might have once bantered with in a spirit of gentlemanly rivalry are now going through a process of far right radicalisation

While I'm stuck in Cape Town I'm finalising the @oceaniceeu.bsky.social second 18 month report. And honestly, it's *awesome* what we have achieved in the last 3 years (and frightening how fast it's gone) Check out our publication list on Google scholar: scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=d...

With news that another railway bridge in Scotland has fallen into the river below, I feel compelled to share @timharford.ft.com CautionaryTales episode on that famous Dundonian poet McGonagall.. "Genius Still Unrecognised" - The Worst Poet in the World Episode webpage: omny.fm/shows/cautio...

The FRISIA sea-level rise model description is published today and selected as a highlight paper in Geoscientific Model Development gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/... FRISIA is designed to couple with IAMs, but can also be run standalone for sea-level rise projections from emissions scenarios.

Jeg vil så gerne redde verden, men først skal jeg lige se Netflix. En kollektiv bedøvelse har lammet os alle Techgiganterne, streamingtjenesterne og snackproducenterne lukrerer alle på vores manglende impulskontrol.

Så, hvis russerne lukker ned for vores internet, er det egentlig ikke til deres fordel ;+)

The technology will not save us. Nor will it doom us. It will magnify what we build around it. And that, unromantically, is what politics is for. We are free to choose our new beginnings and actions. harrijuntunen.medium.com/political-ph...
