"Why is not one, at his god, speaking justice; being a supporter of truth; (but) is settled just like a wicked person?" In this ancient Babylonian dialogue, this is the friend's answer to why he feels gloomy. He answers with a question. Why, he asks, is not even a single person being good?

I've updated my El Niño forecast plume with the latest April data (ECMWF, NMME, CFSv2, Canadian models). Its now looking like it might end up giving 2015/2016 a run for its money in terms of strength, with a peak of ~2.6C in the ENSO3.4 region by end of year: dashboard.theclimate...

We could've phased out fossil fuels the gradual, smart and painless way starting in the 1990s The fossil fuel industry decided we have to do it the painful, unfair and cruel way instead. because that gave them an extra few decades of super-profits

8/ None of this means giving up. It means being honest with our selves and facing reality. Fossil fuel burning must fall hard and fast. And we must protect and restore ecosystems. The sink matters as much as the smokestack. The atmosphere measures what we do, not what we promise.

5/ In the 1960s, natural sinks absorbed ~two thirds of our emissions. Today they absorb barely half. The sink is growing, but not keeping pace. So more of every tonne of fossil fuel burned now stays in the atmosphere, and that share is still rising.

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

4/ Atmospheric CO₂ isn't just rising, it's accelerating. The growth rate has more than doubled since 1960: 0.27%/yr → 0.64%/yr. Whilst fossil fuel emissions are linear. Concentration is super-exponential. So why the acceleration?

It's absolutely bonkers that we learned with clarity that we can dramatically reduce or even possibly eliminate many respiratory viruses & we choose to embrace them instead.

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reports that long-term ocean warming reduces global fish biomass by up to 19.8% annually. Warmer years and marine heatwaves were linked to sharp biomass losses of up to 43.4%. go.nature.com/40b6AIB 🧪 🌍

I am still actively looking for postdoc positions — please lmk if you (or your friends and colleagues) need a hardworking postdoc with field, lab, and bioinformatic skills! I am broadly interested in evolution in the ocean, conservation and population genetics, and rapid evolution.

🚨 Paper Alert! In 2023, Mexican coral reefs experienced an unprecedented bleaching event. But bleaching wasn’t the biggest issue. Our study in Proceedings B @royalsociety.org shows a marine heatwave caused massive coral mortality and pushed reefs from production to net erosion #Reefs A thread 🧵

February 2026 was the 5th warmest February on record globally. It was also the 5th warmest December-January-February on record as well.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Phosphate fertilizers are produced using sulfuric acid and that sulfur comes from oil distillation. In addition to direct exports of P fertilizer being disrupted by the regional war in the Middle East, supply chains will be adversely impacted by oil markets. www.brownfieldagnews.com/news/global-...

Measles cases in the US are surging to levels not seen in decades. By week 9 of 2026, the US has already reported around 1,200 cases, putting this year on pace to blow past 2025's alarming total of 2,200+ cases. A disease we nearly eliminated is making a comeback. #ChartOfTheDay

The public and commentators need to stop thinking about "wars for oil" as about securing oil for the U.S., it's been decades since that was a motivator. "Wars for oil" are instead about securing oil for oil companies, securing a fossil fueled global economy, and denying oil's wealth to "enemies."
