The extra benefit here would be that if we stopped building second homes in Norway it'd also have the effect of stopping the destruction of a massive amount of carbon sequestering nature www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Hey EU residents, if you don't want to massively overpay (€150 to US, €150 Norway, per person per year) for energy just to: - fund the second home of an already-rich Norwegian - fund a fascist MAGA regime Consider pushing your local official to support heat pumps and renewables :)

Oh, here comes another wave of insanity. Ukraine is now supposed to surrender in a war it has not lost and willingly ensure its own destruction by Russia because Trump needs to avert a midterm disaster.

Now we know there’s been a secret society of evil rich men trying to run the world for their own agenda please can there be a secret society of extremely good people who are working to foil their plans and bring them to justice?

Leaving Antarctica with computers full of data, notebooks full of notes + numbers and just about as much kit as we brought (+ some waste for correct disposal). Travelling out via the gobsmacking #WhiteDesert. #Antarctica, you've been wonderful, who knows when we'll meet again... #iQ2300

Tufton Street and their ilk must be warming up ChatGPT in expectation of recruiting staff and generating more fictional "reports".

På vej hjem fra Canada- de er helt anderledes afvisende mod US end vi er i DK. Det kunne vi lære noget af.

Germany built 1.22 million battery electric vehicles last year, keeping its spot as the world's second-largest production hub after China, ahead of the U.S. with 1.04 million vehicles Note: China produced 16.1 million EVs #$TSLAQ

Why is no one talking about the IPBES Plenary in Manchester? The British Ecological Society explains www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/a-be...

Why is this not on the list of critical raw materials? The whole industry is dependent on just one mine!

It's not actually mandatory to be either working in a Nordic country or indeed in Nordic meteorology (I'll be presenting Antarctic climate work), so if you would like to hang out with the cool kids on a very weather beaten group of islands and talk about weather and climate for a few days...

Calling all Nordic meteorologists: Nordic Meteorology Meeting #NMM26 will be held for first time ever in Faroe Islands. They have negotiated some good transport deals + reductions for ECRs. It's a fun crowd and some nice excursions. Come + join us www.greengate.fo/events/nordi... 🧪⚒️⛏️🥼

My experience of working on #Antarctic climate and weather with Ukrainian colleagues is very much this. I am genuinely in awe and extremely humbled by their dedication and sheer hard work under extremely difficult conditions. It's a lesson to us all.

I'm totally pinching myself announcing this, but a film about my life journey rewilding a West Cork farm, An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, will get its first screening at the Dublin International Film Festival on Saturday the 28th of this month. Tickets are available here: www.diff.ie/programme/an...

Possibly the biggest burn in this year, and this says a lot when reflecting the last 4 weeks. The French MFA absolutely torched Elon Musk.

So, #ClimateSky, solve an argument between co-authors: When writing a paper specificalyy using outputs from #CMIP6 models, do you prefer to use GCM or ESM as descriptor? #GlobalClimateModel #EarthSystemModel

With 20/20 hindsight it could also be written about the Y2K crisis Also, as the original was written in 1982, if written today it would be called “2043”

But Europe can't just keep holding a perpetual funeral for the death of the transatlantic alliance. "How do we stop thinking about what we have to lose, and instead think about what we have to gain?" asked Staël Von Holstein.

reading about organisms that aren’t your specialty is like margins of the quorbus eplungulate, ploobular processes bent posteriorly towards the foobulum define term “eplungulate” - lacking plungae. synonym: thubulous

Almost 4000 people have done this quiz so far, although younger groups still under-represented in case you know anyone who'd like to give it a go and see how they compare to others! probability.kucharski.io

Longer conscription and a dedicated drone unit in Denmark.

The state of the field is bad, actually. The private sector seems to be still doing ok but the rest is hanging by a thread. We have government shutdowns roughly every 2 months. Federal workers are treated like 3rd class citizens. NCAR as we know it may very well cease to exist.

Very loud explosions in Kharkiv ‼️ our city is under russian missile attack right now ‼️ Probably russian famous ceasefire missiles.

Also announced today the new 🇩🇰Danish unit for protection of critical maritime infrastructure with the below vessel will be stationed at Frederikshavn Naval Base. It will have about 50 all ranks. www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2...

I really can’t keep up with this. It’s like every vague suspicion of oligarch, finance and tech power come together - with Russian influence. Yes, you’re not imagining. Only Mandelson, Lebedev, Milner and Epstein and L’Affaire Russe

Dette er det beste forslaget jeg har sett!

A common effort between 23 different local authorities* in Denmark to develop FOSS alternatives to big US tech in Danish schools. I am here for this Ja, tak 🙏 *But not apparently my local authority... www.os2.eu/OS2skole

This is slowly happening in digitally-terrible German states as well so hopefully this general shift pays dividends

Absolutely gorgeous essayWorth a read (via @[email protected]) by @tg that starts with why RSS clients look like email, but moves into SoMe and how we imported anxiety without cause. Via @kottke www.terrygodier.com/phantom-obli... #design #ui #rss

Considering there a so many Linux alternatives it's time we all looked in a different direction and stop subsidising US tech.

The article points out that a single year of this budget could convert pretty much the entire system to a #FOSS or at least #OpenSource solution and would save a considerable amount in the long run. As well as building skills, jobs and #digitalSovereignty #dkpol

DKK 60 million on Microsoft and Google software licences *every year* paid Danish state schools. And imagine how much government IT is paying on top. It's time to start calling it the #MicrosoftTax HT@cryptohagen@social.data.coop ing.dk/artikel/her-...

A fun case study since there have been 72 million articles on the cold in the east and 4 on the warmth in the west

Der Spiegel: “Handball ist ein Spiel, das 60 Minuten dauert. Und am Ende gewinnt Dänemark.” Touché 😉

A lot of discussion of Ukraine's military contribution to a united Europe, but there are also a lot of lessons to be learned from Ukrainian emergency response and civil defence

Not sure if this is beautiful but I found it pretty cool: bsky.app/profile/luke...

Difference between here + mastodon (roughly same number of followers), here 10 likes. There, 45 reposts, 46 favourites and replies with startlingly beautiful marine life. There is a community flavour there not here yet(?) Dunno what this proves, maybe if you want a community, build it yourself?

For, reasons, I find myself looking up serpulids on Wikipedia and look at this beauty. The name Christmas tree worm doesn't really do it justice. Not for the first time I wonder if I should have pursued marine biology as a specialism... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpuli...

New preprint 🥳 The city of Leipzig conducts large-scale surveys of adolescents. In 2023, the gender gap in life satisfaction has significantly widened, with girls declining more steeply than boys. What's up with that?> (work with @rmcelreath.bsky.social and @gregork.bsky.social)
