Our new season of urban stargazing events starts on Tuesday 16th September at 6.30pm. Introduction to Urban Stargazing including an exclusive walk into the reserve to identify constellations (weather permitting - we’ll still go out but be wary of cloud cover). www.wildlondon.org.uk/events/2025-...

If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

"These changes result in significant declines in suitable habitats for important calcifying species, including 43% reduction in habitat for tropical and subtropical coral reefs, up to 61% for polar pteropods, and 13% for coastal bivalves" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Thank you @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social for this poem in @theguardian.com. I work with amazing people from all over the world. Spain, Ireland, Philippines, India, Iraq, Syria, Poland and many other countries. Labour's language around immigration is so disappointing.

For all climate adaptation and hazard resilience people this is a wonderful opportunity

Folks in the Southhampton UK area, seats still available for Wednesday's #ScienceUnderSiege lecture @unisouthampton.bsky.social, based on my forthcoming book (via @publicaffairs1796.bsky.social & @scribepub.bsky.social) w/ the great @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social

Join me at @unisouthampton.bsky.social for “Beyond the Hockey Stick: Climate Lessons from The Common Era” lecture organized by Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute on Tuesday, May 6 from 2:30-4:30PM GMT at National Oceanography Center Southampton: michaelmann.net/events/beyon...

Excited to hear about #climatechange and what’s happening in the USA from @michaelemann.bsky.social who’s visiting @unisouthampton.bsky.social on 6/7 April.

Completely love this 👇 . Mine wd be bold Armageddon feature (I teach climate adaptation) shot in a single take from a drone (ceiling mounted camera) for wide angle perspective

Argh yes ! This 👇

If models are valuable because of the data they ingest, then consent matters even more. That data reflects human labor, thought, and time. Calling it “training” doesn’t erase the fact that someone worked for what was taken. 🧵

New "Small Islands Big Picture" podcast out! This time, @emilycwilkinson.bsky.social and myself chat to Olivia Losbar from Radio Caraïbes International in Guadeloupe, @eltompkins.bsky.social from Southampton University, and Legena Henry from UWI Barbados about #sargassum odi.org/en/insights/...

A lovely exploration of the #sargassum issue affecting the tropical Atlantic and islands of the Gulf of Mexico

Apologies for sharing- my son is raising money for childhood cancer research (@CCLG) with a mile swim 29/03/25 (a challenge as he is ‘sinker’ not a ‘floater’) in memory of my 18 yo goddaughter Ruby who died of leukemia in May 2020 10 months after a shock diagnosis. www.justgiving.com/page/1-mile-...

Someone clever did this to a lamppost on Coverdale road and now I am disappointed that every lamppost doesn’t have one

Being a lead author requires a significant commitment for a voluntary post (I was IPCC WGII AR5). However it is extremely rewarding work and you meet wonderful new colleagues

So good to be asked to present at the #Cirencester & surrounding areas #Flood focussed meeting, organized by @DrRozSavageMP & to get to chat to her afterwards!

ULEZ works. It’s that simple. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the latest figures show that it was the right one for the health of millions of Londoners.

Fascinating thread. From our own transport polling with More in Common, I found this response particularly interesting. Progressive Activists the only group more convinced by argument “people should be able to get around without needing a car” than people should be “free to drive” where they want

🌍 The World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2025 highlights that extreme weather events now rank as the 2nd greatest global risk. With $320B in losses and millions displaced in 2024, climate adaptation is not optional—it’s essential.

#Adaptation isn't about preserving the status quo, but about managing inevitable and often painful change. Our new paper on 'curating transformation' looks at lessons from heritage management for wider adaptation & managing losses & damages (open access). www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Canada didn’t want this fight. Canada didn’t start this fight. This fight makes absolute zero rational sense, between any two trading partners, let alone close friends and allies. Canada did everything we could to avoid this fight. But Canada doesn’t back down from a fight. #NotSorry #Tariffs

At last. Some good news!!!

One of the major points of doing DEI (or whatever you want to call it) is a labor insight that lots of people out there could be excellent air traffic controllers or anything else etc, but racism, sexism, whatever drives them out of the workforce until you don’t have all the best people for the job.

100% this .. I’ve been marking solidly for 2 weeks and in that time have received 77 unexpected emails requiring my urgent input (many many more not relevant and deleted). I’d love a charge per email message - how many fewer would we send? That’d be a nice experimental UG diss project!

Lesson for us all: Climate warming has been particularly bad in Switzerland, where “a group of farmers turned to the Swiss courts to force the government to do more to act on climate change before their farms become unviable.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Fantastic new article just out considering the extent of climate impacts on us all and the lack of public understanding of this risk
