A reminder of precisions of cycles and patterns in nature.

“Pacific upwelling on the Isthmus has been a predictable & fundamentally imp’t seasonal event across multiple timescales, w/ marine communities, pre-Columbian societies, & modern fisheries becoming reliant upon this reliable phenomenon.” #climatechange #climateheritage www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

This was the hottest summer on record. If it happens again next year, Britain’s ecosystems won’t cope | Lucy Jones #Climate

By zapping seawater with electricity, scientists make a solid carbon-negative building material. In a double whammy, the method sucks up carbon dioxide and upcycles it into a material that can be used to make concrete, cement, plaster, and paint. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/03/by-z...

Debating Disaster Risk brings together leading global experts to explore the controversies that emerge—and the tough decisions that must be made—when cities, people, and the environment are at risk. #climatechange cup.columbia.edu/book/debatin...

In the midst of a sweltering summer, our research published last year shows people are highly concerned about climate change and support policies that address both climate and health. ✅ The UK public are highly supportive of the government target to reach NetZero by 2050 🧵

People are being “cooked alive”, yet #climatechange remains the politically charged hot potato. Time to invest heavily in long-term resilience. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There is growing evidence that climate change can have direct and indirect effects on mental health. This is especially true for extreme heat. 🌡️ The literature shows a clear relationship between increased temperatures and number of suicides and severe distress following extreme weather events🧵

🌿 The National Plant Monitoring Scheme has turned 10! More than 1,000 volunteers have gathered 250k+ botanical records that feed into the UK Biodiversity Indicators. Marking the milestone, the 2024 report shares surveyor stories & a timeline of NPMS highlights. 🔗 🧪 www.npms.org.uk/article/npms...

Out today, this article provides an overview of advances in complex climate change risk assessment & management & how recent methodological improvements offer opportunities for effective near-term action in governing risk and adaptation strategies. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New article! The missing link: democracy, education, and carbon emissions by Patricia Bromley, Jared Furuta & Evan Schofer. This article examines how democracy and education shape national carbon emissions across 155 countries between 1990 and 2019. doi.org/10.1080/0964...

Fascinating volume delving into a range of #climatechange related study across the world via exploitation of resources from rubber to radium to microbiota. Open access with links to each publication in comments.

Very useful comments under the original post with a list of relevant publications.

New paper resolves a half-century old debate about how to conserve biodiversity in natural areas. For biodiversity, it’s better to have one large contiguous forest than many smaller fragments www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/03/new-...

“Empirical evidence…shows it is possible to provide good lives for 8.5bn people…to achieve such a future, we must fight to regain democratic control over the means of production and organise it around human well-being, including through planning and public services provision.”

Plastics are in our DNA - ok fine, just tissues and organs - but how do we quit it? Or is the question, how to quit stock investment & plastic profitability? theconversation.com/plastics-and...

Keen to explore this #climateheritage & #policy grant with potential partners. Historic England on board too. Get in touch if interested! www.ukri.org/opportunity/...

"Plastics cause disease and death from infancy to old age and are responsible for health-related economic losses exceeding US$1.5 trillion annually." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The British Academy says embedding the needs of people and addressing inequalities between communities is key to sustaining public support. Collaborative leadership will also be needed to achieve net zero in every city, town and neighbourhood in the country.

💧 Water is a fundamental need to sustain life on Earth. However, human activities are degrading water quality and severely threatening water security. 48% of wastewater is released into the environment and polluted rivers have reduced economic growth by 1.4-2.5% in downstream regions worldwide🧵

🧠Climate change affects all aspects of mental health, however it is absent in 58% of national climate adaptation policies. In a blog, @alemassazza.bsky.social & @jessnlv.bsky.social share new research by @climatecares.bsky.social & @unitedgmh.bsky.social on how to address this gap: buff.ly/Qlh5z8B

⚖️Climate litigation is entering a new era 🌏 Thanks to attribution science, courts now have the tools to link climate impacts, such as floods, wildfires and extreme heat to major polluters — and assign legal responsibility. 🧵 📒 imperial.ac.uk/stories/polluters-on-trial

"It is so important, it could be one of the most consequential legal rulings of our times because of the scope of the issues that it touches, which run to the very heart of climate justice…” #climatechange #climateheritage

“The Australian government argued its decisions about climate policy involve complex political priorities that a court shouldn’t review. It argued it shouldn’t be bound by the best available science as a legal standard.” #climatechange #climateheritage

Extremes are a norm; the State of the UK Climate Report published by the MET annually continues to build the evidence base of how our activities and actions are destructive. @metoffice.gov.uk #climatechange #climateaction www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

This headline from 111 years ago shows that we've long known about global warming, but not that it'd be a problem. People back then thought warmer temperatures would be a good thing. Only in the last few decades have we appreciated the negative effects of climate change.
