Marine heatwaves linked to the deaths of 30,000 fish off the WA coast were up to 100 times more likely to occur due to the climate crisis - new research - by @petrastock.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I hope this action is not forgotten. It will be a small thing in the tsunami of very bad things, but is symptomatic of so much. And I simply can't see that it is in any way the result of enforcement. This is the sort of anticipatory obedience that happens in authoritarian regimes.

His recent tariff threats against Mexico and Canada were no different, but this time those nations' leaders showed the world how to beat Trump at his own game. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-trud...

Higher greenhouse-gas emissions, fewer jobs and dirtier air that kills more people: researchers have plugged Trump’s energy and climate policies into their models, and early results suggest far-reaching consequences for health, the economy and the planet. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For a political photo op and a social media post, the Trump administration has thrown away billions of gallons of California #water." @petergleick says it was “a needlessly self-destructive action purely for political showmanship.” www.latimes.com/environment/...

Keeping my eyes on multiple collapsing systems as both an ecosystems biologist and a citizen and trying to forecast where this is all going and how I can most effectively intervene is exhausting but we know how to keep working while exhausted right? (Right?) insideclimatenews.org/news/0302202...

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

Good morning from NSW, Australia. It's Friday here, overcast and windy, good day to stay inside and cuddle up with these cuties. (B/W = Andy, Ginger = Sandy)

In 2010, an enormous marine heatwave devastated ocean life in Western Australia. Now another big one is taking hold – and heading towards Ningaloo.

This is devastating, 2 to 3 degrees celcius above average!

Young Powerful Owlet falls asleep while intently watching some ducks. This is my favourite Owlet movie ever. We always finish our Powerful Owl talks with it zzzzzzzz #birds #brisbane

Don't just do it, talk about it.

I made this comic a few months ago, in collaboration with an expert named Tommy Tucker. I can't believe that it's immediately out of date because it refers to the Gulf of Mexico.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Wow. California is considering to pass legislation that would allow people & insurance companies to recoup costs by suing fossil fuel companies. This would extend to the last resort insurance provider (the state’s coverage) too. CA would be the 1st state in the U.S. to allow for such lawsuits.

I love this on many levels! If and when nature is given a chance, it can overcome some of the harshest conditions us humans have placed on it. To be clear, this is not my video — credit given in the video! #trees #nature #naturephotogeaphy #environment #skylight

I hiked up the north side of Squak Mountain in the Issaquah Alps this morning when it was 28°F and found the MOTHER OF ALL HAIR ICE. Look at this beauty!! This is by far the most perfect hair ice I've ever found. For those who missed my last hair ice post, this is caused by fungus in the wood.

Have you ever seen an echidna stroll at sunset? In the historic town of 1770, Queensland, I captured this rare moment of an echidna wandering the beach, backlit by the golden glow. Shot from a low angle, its unique silhouette truly stands out—one of the world's few egg-laying mammals! 🦔 #wildlife

By erasing it, or trying to, they make it more memorable. The Internet is written in indelible ink.

Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is humanity’s only hope of achieving climate security. It’s time to think deeply about our chances of getting there.

The liberals are trying to follow tRumps path to power but are missing key facts showing total disregard for our First Nations People. I can not put my vote towards any party that show racist, money over climate, science deniers.

Ever wondered WHY Trump and his allies are so viciously attacking and cutting science? It's because science puts the lie to everything they're trying to do. It identifies the real people and actions causing our problems. It exposes the truth behind their disinformation. Science not silence.

Soil microbes, forest-dependent pollinators (insects, bats, birds and some mammals) and deadwood beetles play very important roles in maintaining forest biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Similarly, mammals, birds and other organisms play an important role in forests.💚🌲🌳🍀
