Five reasons to be hopeful on climate. At the end of the year we wrote down everything that has improved in climate policy. It's not all good but it's a lot better! www.dw.com/en/5-reasons...

ChatGPT becomes human...

I'm firmly of the belief that the IPCC should be listed as one of the wonders of the world. 30 years of extraordinary collaboration. But the current model isn't fit for purpose at this stage of the climate crisis. That model should change, at least by a matter of degrees, as the climate does.

Why am I not surprised?

Who needs scientists and data when you can just look out the window, right? Snowfall here today, clearly debunking that whole climate change thing! Maybe next, they'll tell us the Earth isn't flat? So predictable, can't wait!!

This is great news for the diverse branches of sustainability research based in Leipzig: DFG will fund the Research Training Group "Economics of Connected Natural Commons (ECO-N)". 42 PhD students will explore the complex interactions between economic demands, human behaviour and natural resources.

ChatGPT use shows that the grant-application system is broken. The fact that artificial intelligence can do much of the work makes a mockery of the process. It’s time to make it easier for scientists to ask for research funding. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ich bin immer wieder tief beeindruckt von @rahmstorf.bsky.social & Co, dass sie uns über die Klimakrise und Entwicklung aufklären. Gleichzeitig überrascht es mich nicht, wenn 82% der Klimawissenschaftler*innen sich nicht gehört fühlen. www.climatesciencebreakthrough.com/news
