💦 We're not truly running out of #water, but we're mismanaging the limited supply we can access. Plus, #ClimateChange disrupts natural cycles faster than governments can respond. Urgent investment is needed to prevent #DayZero scenarios for billions of people. #ESD #WaterScarcity #GreenSky #EduSky

Just so its clear: data centres are not "critical infrastructure". They are Mystery Factories that can perform inscrutable computation for any digital output, from crypto scams to child abuse material to hospital databases. The broad label just becomes a wide door for harm to run through.

@irishrainforest.bsky.social has shown that trees are much better at planting trees than humans ever will be - the only exception when humans are needed to plant trees is in situations where the indigenous trees are no longer present to plant themselves Imagine humans asking trees to deliver babies

Very worth reading. I have to say that I didn't have enough space in my post to mention that I reject the carbon credit thing ~97% (global north using global south land=meh). For me, planting trees definitely also means natural succession, although we need to be ready to trial and error much more.

💦 Only a small portion of the world’s #water is usable for drinking. To meet our basic needs for drinking, cooking, & hygiene, each of us needs at least 20L of safe freshwater per day. Currently, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water. #ESD #WaterScarcity #GreenSky #EduSky

🚰 According to the UN, one in three people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking #water, and by 2030, demand for water could exceed supply by 40%. This must be part of the conversation around #AI. #Sustainability #WaterScarcity #GreenSky

"Flawed economic models mean the accelerating impact of the #ClimateCrisis could lead to a global financial crash, experts warn. Recovery would be far harder than after the 08 financial crash, they said, as “we can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks”. 😱 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

8/9 My article explores how these patterns repeat across the globe, from overheated apartments to flooded rice fields. Political and infrastructural neglect creates predictable vulnerability, turning slow violence into deaths of neglect.

🐋 Please contact your #MEP to support ending the #Grindadráp annual slaughter. Ongoing hunts completely undermine the EU’s international credibility on #MarineConservation. At the least, give us the means to boycott Faroese products. Make your voice heard! 1/2 #GreenSky

🌎 The oceans temperatures are steadily rising, with dire implications for our planet. Our oceans produce half the Earth’s oxygen and drive weather patterns. We will see more hurricanes and tropical storms, but the worst impacts of warmer oceans happen beneath the sea. #ClimateChange #GreenSky

"every analyzed heatwave [in a set of 213] have become more intense and more likely due to climate change. The heatwaves over 2000-2009 have become 20 times more likely compared to pre-industrial levels, but over 2010-2019, this influence rises to 200 times."

In 2025 the seasonal upwelling in the Gulf of #Panama failed to materialize. The process delivers nutrients that stimulate phytoplankton growth — the foundation of the marine food web. This is critical for local dynamics and indicates broader changes in ocean systems. #ESD #ClimateChange #GreenSky

👷 There is a significant employment potential in the #RenewableEnergy transition — especially if policy and investment accelerate globally. In 2022–23, 2.5 M green energy jobs were created. 📈 IRENA predicts employment in this sector could exceed 40 M by 2030. #Sustainability #GreenJobs #GreenSky

🔋 #RenewableEnergy is booming — solar power generation is projected to be the fastest-growing industry in the USA this decade, with wind power in 2nd place. If you enjoy hands-on work in a field where demand is outpacing supply — this sector could be for you! #Sustainability #GreenJobs #GreenSky

🌱 #Greenwashing is when companies falsely claim their products are more environmentally sound than they actually are, to capitalize on the demand for eco-friendly products. Some guidelines on how to differentiate real green products from the greenwashed. ⬇️ #ESD #Sustainability #GreenSky #EduSky

⏰ It’s long been the criticism of #RenewableEnergy: what happens when the sun goes in or the wind doesn’t blow? The answer is simple: 🔋 batteries. In 2025 we saw real innovation. In 2026, AI optimization will enable the tech to scale up, while prices go down. #Sustainability #NetZero #GreenSky

⚡ For the #energy sector, 2026 will be the year of granularity: the precise matching of supply and demand, down to the second and the electron, to ensure more Carbon-Free electricity makes it to end users in real time. #ESD #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #GreenSky

⚡In 2026, the #energy sector’s focus will shift from simple capacity expansion (that’s going great!) to intelligent integration of #RenewableEnergy into the grid. The goal being to synchronize green power generation with our consumption needs... in real time. #Sustainability #NetZero #GreenSky

🤖 People are starting to understand just how resource-intensive #AI is. Water scarcity is becoming a global issue, we urgently need to cut emissions... while it’s powered by #FossilFuels, can we really justify the use of AI to make fake bobcat videos?! 🤷‍♀️ #Sustainability #ClimateChange #GreenSky

I don't use the AI tools on publisher sites, so it's not surprising that this message is disquieting, but surely as academics we SHOULD be reviewing the material directly so we don't miss any important information regardless of an AI summary. #academicsky #phdlife #aislop #darkacademia

🌏 Rare earth materials are essential to manufacture everything from solar panels to smart phones — yet we throw vast amounts of these precious resources into landfill every year. In 2026, the smartest companies are embedding circularity into their core operations. #ClimateChange #GreenSky

There are many #ClimateChange deniers around... but the insurance sector definitely believe! Will food prices, or even shortages, be the thing that finally forces the world to take this existential threat seriously? Something has to make everyone wake up, right? Right?! 😬

🌍 In 2026 we have some tough questions to answer. We need to start considering our global food supply. At COP30 in Brazil, countries called for a tripling of adaptation finance by 2035, recognizing that $310 BN will be needed annually. #Sustainability #ClimateChange #ClimateAdaptation #GreenSky

🚘 #EV sales are steadily increasing despite the loss of subsidies in the US. China, and Chinese manufacturers, continue to lead the field. It’s worth noting that the world reached peak gas car sales in 2017 — as such, US car manufacturers are in danger of being left behind. #ClimateChange #GreenSky

Britain has become an "electrostate" — and that means energy bills will come down, says @chrisstark.bsky.social. He's the man leading the country's charge to a clean power grid by 2030 www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Shocking and worrying.

☀️As #RenewableEnergy goes from strength-to-strength — prices falling while growth keeps pace with demand — #FossilFuels remained mostly flat, with a slight decline in China & India.

💧💧💧💧💧 Everything is fun and games, until you can't rehydrate. Fresh water is more important than oil! Sacks of water should never, ever take water for granted in their lives, politics, and environments.

The key takeaway from this fascinating survey is that we (educators) should stick to familiar terms that people understand: Use #GlobalWarming when referring to rising temperatures and #ClimateChange for overall changes in the climate. 🔗 theconversation.com/if-you-want-... #EduSky #GreenSky
