In our Climate Report my coauthors and I say: We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. Consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now. Read report here doi.org/10.1093/bios...

"Despite the difficulties getting everyone to agree on how to tackle climate change, real-world solutions are being implemented at speed almost everywhere." Love this #COP30 takeaway from @georginarannard.bsky.social. Just because countries aren't acting at scale doesn't mean the rest of us can't!

Raise your hand if you're sick of the internet being filled with 1) liars and grifters 2) fake AI slop 3) bogus conspiracy theories Resist it by engaging and boosting truthful, fact-based content. We have to act deliberately to retrain the algorithmic gremlins Your thoughts?

BREAKING: Nathan Gill is sentenced to 10 & a half years in prison after pleading guilty to eight charges of bribery from a Russian agent. The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.

Final sentence for #NathanGill. 10.5 years jail time for Nigel’s right hand man in Strasbourg for taking payments from Putin’s right hand man Ukraine

The #NathanGill bribery case is one of the clearest documented instances where money, messaging and political access intersect in a way that can be traced from a European politician back to figures in Medvedchuk’s and Medvedev’s circles - and thus to Putin bylinetimes.com/2025/11/21/n...

#FossilFriday: Seen on a recent visit to the Yorkshire Museum, a coprolite from the Lias of Lyme Regis presented in 1831 to @ypsyork.bsky.social by Oxford geologist William Buckland. This may be one of the many coprolites which Mary Anning was collecting at Buckland's request in 1829 and 1830.

Standing at a rather empty train station in the wilds of West Sussex yesterday morning, my thoughts were disturbed by ferocious activity of this Nuthatch - it’s hatcheting away at that nut!! #nature #birds

Please @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social is there a chance you could schedule the annual business meeting when people outside the Americas could attend at a reasonable time? Scheduling at 1 pm ET would allow west coasters to attend in business hours & allow more easterly & westerly members to attend

The American Petroleum Institute is running a "seven-figure ad campaign featuring real landmen" on Paramount+ and CBS to capitalize on Landman's gusher of "misleading nonsense." The latest in the long history of Big Oil weaponizing culture and entertainment to bury us in their cataclysmic bullshit:

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

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

Two weeks ago, it took the NHS 75 minutes to examine, x-ray, and refer me. I met my consultant today, had a physio session, and booked an MRI for 8 December. Nobody asked for my credit card details. The NHS shows another world is possible, which is why they want to destroy it.

Basic principles for the future of the car in cities: ✅ Fewer ✅ Smaller ✅ Slower ✅ Cleaner This can be achieved with: ✅ Parking controls ✅ LTNs ✅ Road User Pricing ✅ Pedestrianisation ✅ Default 20mph roads ✅ Improved public transport ✅ Segregated cycling

Blue tick X accounts who achieved nothing in life until Musk started paying them to lie about net zero and beg for donations from their mum’s spare bedroom will be the death of the West. The world is getting on with it while we cling to an imagined past because of these grifters.

4. There's a villain in the story and it must be told that way. Fossil fuel's climate denial fraud and dark money corruption are full-on villainous and we should say so.

Meanwhile, @tweetisaurus.bsky.social and myself have taken another group of delegates for the first day of a three-day dinosaurs and history focused trip, starting with the Natural History Museum & Charles Darwin’s home, Down House #2025SVP

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping? Hear the latest science as I presented it last month at the ATLAS25 event in Helsinki. Let me know if anything is unclear, or if you see good reasons why your government shouldn't immediately act on this. 🌊 youtu.be/ULJXqOZuY-8

You have to laugh at some of the quotes in this piece about the smear campaign against critics of @itiscolossal.bsky.social. George Church says Ben Lamm "has faced technical hurdles and skeptics with respect & humor" www.gmwatch.org/en/106-news/... 1/2

I filmed several timelapse videos during the meeting but unless someone returns my bag you won't get to see them. #2025SVP #SVP2025

repping UCL at #SVP2025

All four poster sessions were extremely busy right up to the last second. Given that the number of posters is generally increasing, should future poster sessions be longer? #ConferencePosters #2025SVP #SVP2025

I guess now would be a good time for my first post here. Yesterday we published a new paper on the incredible ecosystem of tetrapods and other vertebrates in Science. It has been years of work - but we got there in the end. Thank you to everyone the contributed to this work ❤️

After leaving #2025SVP, as always, I’m torn between sleeping and recovering for three full days and getting started on new collaborations! SVP is always so fun and inspiring!

Starting the journey home from #2025SVP. I didn't leave the conference empty handed...

#2025SVP For people who missed my talk: I’m happy to give this or longer versions via zoom/in person for your seminars/colloquiums. Being based at a small museum w/ little daily exchange among peers, it’s a great opportunity for me to stay connected & for you to learn about our shelled overlords.

Can everyone who left their tote bag behind in Meeting Room Hall 3, or picked up the wrong one, please pop by the International Convention Centre this morning. #2025SVP #SVP2025

Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.

Two axioms: 1) talent/smarts/grit are pretty evenly distributed (across race, country, gender, etc). 2) good things happen if you can collect critical masses of such people in one place.

First post on Bluesky. Repost from “the other place”. Here is a recent fossil CT scan from the Australian Synchrotron. using our continuously improving Deep Learning Model we segmented nearly 8000 image slices in less than 24 hours - no training data. Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
