Last weekend @alfredoromero.bsky.social and Marie Pratzer were invited to talk at the #LongNightofClimate in Berlin. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed this inspiring, interesting and important event! Film: "Bolivia Burning" look at some more information here: www.langenachtdesklimas.de #LNDK #BTS

In seinem letzten Interview als Bundestagsabgeordneter beschreibt Robert Habeck nochmal präzise, was die Union gerade tut: Sie spaltet das Land mit quatschigem Kulturkampf, um von den Problemen abzulenken. Lesenswert:

A Century of Loss: Long-Term #DryWoodland Decline and Its Implications for India’s #Megafauna Our latest paper, along with @matthiasbaumann.bsky.social, @arashghoddousi.bsky.social, @tkuemmerle.bsky.social and others is now out! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our study on biodiversity loss embodied in trade is featured in @mongabay.com tinyurl.com/2edpu626 . Unfortunately, we at @biogeoberlin.bsky.social could not contribute to this news piece. Glad, though, that @nature.org calls the study 'very timely' Link to the study: tinyurl.com/3xubzpbe

Exciting PhD position to work on large mammals and land use in Europe with the @biogeoberlin.bsky.social lab at @humboldtuni.bsky.social

Climate change reduces farming efficiency, which leads to more land use to grow enough food, which leads to more emissions, and so on and so forth... Major paper coming out on this feedback loop in a couple of days from the University of Minnesota, @projectdrawdown.bsky.social, and others!

Corn ethanol is a bad idea. You could retire 97% of it back to nature, out the remaining 3% in solar, and come out even.

Manche Menschen träumen ja davon, eine CO2-Aufnahme durch Wälder gegenzurechnen, um die fossilen Emissionen weniger reduzieren zu müssen. Bad News: seit Jahren sind die deutschen Wälder zur CO2-Quelle geworden, so schlecht geht es ihnen im Klimawandel. Und nicht nur bei uns.

Seit einiger Zeit lobbyiert die Tourismus- und Flug-Lobby gegen höhere Flugabgaben. Ein Lobby-Erfolg: Die Luftverkehrssteuer soll sinken. Das ZDF gibt das einfach so weiter, ohne Klimaeinordnung. Klimaschutz wird für Billigflüge geopfert. Und morgen wieder: Wo ist denn das Wasser im Bodensee?!

Sometimes that works better... Like here, where AI really did the trick, by labelling this Giant Anteater, that we almost didn't see ourselves. The left picture is the original footage, AI labelled - by increasing the brightness the giant anteater becomes visible for us as well.

The beef industry has done an incredible job of greenwashing -- far better than the fossil fuel industry. And the playbook is pretty damn clear. And, sadly, it's working incredibly well -- to the point of misleading the whole world, including many environmentalists... www.vox.com/future-perfe...

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Laut Berechnung des Instituts der deutschen Wirtschaft könnte ein gestrichener Feiertag bis zu 8,6 Milliarden Euro einsparen. Ja, nett. Anderer Vorschlag: Allein mit einer einmaligen Vermögensabgabe für das reichste 1 % könnten wir mind. 360 Milliarden generieren. Ich wähle Variante 2.

Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen - die Einschätzung von Pistorius (die geleaked wurde) ist bei der Aufstellung wahrscheinlich nicht von so weit hergeholt
