Happy Birthday to Guy Stewart Callendar! He would be 128 today. #GuyStewartCallendar #GlobalWarming

I did a blog for the Geological Collections Group on type specimens of #fossils and how to find them, based on years of digging into old museum collections #naturalhistory @originalgcg.bsky.social @nmireland.bsky.social geocollnews.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/w...

I was a postdoc at Harvard (in human evolutionary biology) from 2010 to 2012 and it’s grim how many men I interacted with during that time are popping up in the Epstein files trying to prove disgusting evo-psych theories about women *shudder*.

1979 report warns of warming world (C02 Newsletter, Vol. 1, no. 2) President Carter's science adviser asked top scientists to check if the predictions of a warmer world b/c of carbon dioxide emissions were accurate. They came back with a firm "hell yes." allouryesterdays.info/2026/01/20/1...

Hi everyone. Until now, this Bluesky account has been held by one of my subscribers, who has now kindly passed the account over to me. Please don't expect too much posting, I have my hands full with the Potholer54 channel on YouTube. But let's see how it goes.

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on: * Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc AND * Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero I kid you not, it is that stupid

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Isn't it interesting how the people most likely to parrot the statement "cold is causing nine times more deaths than heat" are also those more likely to vote for governments that do the least to support people most at risk from death due to cold. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Here is a link to the original article www.monbiot.com/1995/12/14/i...

30 yrs ago; Dec 14, 1995 – Monbiot nails it with “it’s happening” article, after release of 2nd IPCC report. The “data should be enough to throw us all into a muck sweat.” Atmospheric CO2 was roughly 361ppm. As of 2025 it is 425ppm, allouryesterdays.info/2024/12/14/d...

"This chapter argues that in order for museums to matter in a time of climate crisis, they must first reject the claim to political neutrality that structures and limits their transformative social power" #ClimateEmergency

So many of the things that renewable-haters said could never happen are now reality. Renewable energy will win - everywhere. www.pv-magazine.com/2025/12/12/b...

Invisible price gouging and algorithmic price fixing is here. This "progress" is why I never liked store cards or Uber, they were stepping stones to this horrific dystopian present. #instacart #segementation #surgepricing www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDhm... 💵💵💵

An important study, and one that projects a (more) worrying future for our weather systems. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

8. Oh, and I forgot to say - happy World Soil Day, which is (not entirely coincidentally) today.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

It is Rosa Parks Day. 🥰

Tell me who should I follow?

Here's a lesson in light-damage in #museums. #Taxidermy exposed to the light fades over time, ultimately creating specimens that no longer resemble the species they are supposed to represent. These two South American cock-of-the-rocks at Birmingham Museums are a clear "before & after".

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

Searching through old copies of Animals magazine, recently found the May 1972 ish; is of interest because it includes Michael Tweedie's article The last of the #dinosaurs. Standard text with nothing exciting (sorry Michael) BUT of interest because... 1/n

Hannah Fry: Don’t patronise me. I have a PhD in fluid dynamics www.thetimes.com/article/95e2...

No. I don’t just draw dinosaurs! These illustrations were commissioned for the Feeding Without Jaws Exhibition at @lapworthmuseum.bsky.social Check out their website - www.birmingham.ac.uk/events/feedi... - for more details of the exhibition, which runs until the end of February. (1/4)

While birds and bats both developed adaptations for flight, the way they went about it is so fundamentally different it affects their possible ecological adaptation. Specifically, birds can easily shift to a walking lifestyle, bats can't. 🧪 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

57 yrs ago today (Nov 29, 1968), a warning from Arnold Marsh, chair of the National Clean Air Society "...a melting of the polar ice-caps so that the level of the sea would rise... if the arguments are correct, it could become catastrophic at some future date” allouryesterdays.info/2025/11/28/n...

In an era marked by rapid climate change and biodiversity loss, it is imperative that we continue to invest in the unique value of natural history collections data "Global sampling decline erodes science potential of natural history collections" 🧪

So... let's see if we can get this digital reconstruction of Winnie done by Thanksgiving.....

📚 Paper alert! 🧪 Thrilled to share my first scientific publication as a first author! "Svalbard's Record‐Breaking Arctic Summer 2024: Anomalies Beyond Climatological Warming Trends" is just out in Geophysical Research Letters, open access. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... 🧵(1/5)

Deadline next week! Don't forget to nominate! (and if you have problems, get in touch with us directly via our website)

Our paper re-evaluating the notosuchian Eremosuchus elkoholicus is out now! This work formed a chapter of my PhD thesis, and sheds some light on the complex evolutionary history of sebecid crocodyliforms 🐊🌎 @es-ucl.bsky.social
