Drilling in the North Sea will not improve energy security or reduce bills. There is not much oil left & if accessed it will be sold on the international market & there is not enough to impact global prices. - youtu.be/O3AnLL2vR9I?... 🏭 @simonoxfphys.com #SimonClark #NetZero

On this Trans Day of Visibility, please enjoy & learn something from this fascinating & clarifying read from @madeline-eppley.bsky.social, @andylee.bsky.social, Robert Dellinger & @allydefduf.bsky.social Read👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... (🙏 for this excellent work & actionable recs!)

On this day, March 25, 1957, Gilbert Plass and others were at La Jolla, in California, talking about, well climate change. 1/2 allouryesterdays.info/2026/03/24/m...

Bjorn Lomborg has been misleading people yet again with a climate related deaths graph. Details here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKL8...

#FossilFriday: a fossil sepia ink sac drawn with fossil sepia in 1834 by Lyme Regis fossil collector and friend of #MaryAnning, Elizabeth Philpot. The pencil annotation is by Oxford geologist William Buckland. More on fossil sepia coming in the next issue of @hoggroup.bsky.social's GeoHistories.

Yet another line of evidence that natural history #museums are the best museums: 7.3 million people visited @nhm-london.bsky.social last year, an all-time record for any UK museum or gallery. Natural history museums play a huge role in our relationship with nature www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Just under a month away until World Heritage Day where we'll be celebrating 25 years of the Jurassic Coast at Dorset Museum & Art Gallery in Dorchester! Be sure to join the celebrations on the 18th of April!

I just told BBC News: Energy crises are demand problems, not supply problems. 80% of our energy is fossil fuels, much of it imported, leaving us exposed to price spikes. The only long-term fix: electrify the economy with clean power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUI5...

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy. Are you seeing that message in media?

Volcanoes do not currently emit more CO2 than humans. - agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... - agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... - acp.copernicus.org/articles/21/... - svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5110 - nature.com/articles/ncl... - doi.org/10.5194/essd... 🙂 1/3

Here we are again. In 2022–23 Europe spent €800bn subsidising fossil fuels to keep energy bills down. Imported fossil fuels mean volatile prices. The real solution is not new suppliers but a shift to clean energy.

🚨 Call for Abstracts 🚨 Abstract submission now open for a symposium meeting on #MarineReptile palaeontology hosted at @morethanadodo.bsky.social from 7-8th October 2026. Abstract deadline: 1st June 2026 #Palaeontology #Science #SciComm

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another. A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

A few generations ago, most communities would have had knowledge of their local wild plants and their uses. This loss of knowledge is a loss of our heritage, as well as evidence of our disconnection ✍️Jon Conradi, Wild Mosaic

Why don’t we ever see snakes slithering in the snow? 🐍 These cold-blooded creatures can’t hibernate - but they do have their own special skill to survive the snow and cold. ❄️ Find out all about it in this week’s Surprising Science!

Scientists have recently discovered a Jurassic amphibian that had a projectile tongue! The new species has been named Nabia civiscientrix after the local community of citizen scientists that helped to discover the fossil. Find out more 👇 www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

Questionable thumbnail aside, this is a nice article about a paper we just published on how to count heat mortality. From @deceleration.news Thousands of Heat-Related Deaths Go Uncounted in Texas Each Year, New Research Finds deceleration.news/heat-related...

A new month tomorrow and changes to our opening times! Due to some essential maintenance there will be centre closures over the next two weeks. For our full opening times please visit our website here: charmouth.org/chcc/opening...

#FossilFriday: A curator's dream label. Doesn't get much better than this: 'This Fossil is the first I ever obtained. It was purchased from Mary Anning in July 1824. It then wanted the point of the nose. This was found 3 years after rolled on the sands & she sent it to me to Oxford – Enniskillen'

#FossilFriday A beautiful Cretaceous seastar. This fully articulated specimen of Calliderma was collected in the Chalk of England.

For #FossilFriday, here are some images of #Scelidosaurus from the Jurassic of Charmouth, Dorset, UK. They were published in one of our monographs from 1861 as part of a description by Sir Richard Owen. ia600501.us.archive.org/17/items/mon...

We're waiting in the wings for the professionals to let us put on a hard hat and take photos to show you how it's coming along. 👷

Vulcanodon is one of the earliest sauropods but it’s named for the shape of several theropod teeth referred in error to the type, as they were found in association with the skeleton (at a time when many ‘prosauropods’ were considered carnivores). Enjoy 🦖🦕🇿🇼

Spent a pleasant morning looking around Matopos National Park with @simonwills.bsky.social, not much big game today but some great scenery, and a few impala, wildebeest and klipspringers too

Never know who’ll you’ll bump into when having a quiet coffee in Bulawayo: this beauty was over 1 m in length

Just got my hot-off-the-press copy of the new edition of Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved, written by @tetzoo.bsky.social and yours truly, with gorgeous new cover art from @bobnichollsart.bsky.social: finally, a sauropodomorph on the cover 🦕🦕🦕 On sale soon!

Really sad news. Hans worked on an incredible diversity of vertebrate groups but in particular made huge contributions to our understanding of the Triassic.

It’s your final weekend to explore Mythical Creatures! From ancient myths to fossil origins, this magical story quest closes Sunday 22 February. Don't let the dragon go without a goodbye: colchester.cimuseums.org.uk/events/mythical-creatures

There are only a few days left to see this cast of a skull of #Protoceratops which is currently on display at #ColchesterCastle. The original specimen comes from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. It belonged to a quadrupedal plant-eating dinosaur.

As relevant as ever. 🙄

As things get really bad many people will blame scientists for not being "persuasive" enough earlier, just you wait and see.

The scientific understanding of human-driven climate change is much stronger today than it was in 2009 when the EPA first issued the endangerment finding. There is no scientific basis for the Trump administration's decision to repeal it

I've created a new dashboard for The Climate Brink that is updated daily with ERA5 global mean surface temperature data. It includes daily anomalies, monthly and annual forecasts, and a bunch of interactive data visualizations: dashboard.theclimate...

EPA abandoned the DOE CWG report in the Endangerment Finding revocation. It makes sense, though. It would have been destroyed in court. They violated so many rules in the production of that report. Also, the May draft was never publicly released, so that’s also a big problem.

Join us in Bologna, Italy, 4–6 Nov 2026 for Visualising Climate — the first global conference fully dedicated to climate data visualization and its power to transform public understanding of a changing planet.
