We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

They’ll keep saying this over and over until the bubble bursts and then it’ll be chaos… a completely manufactured (and avoidable) crisis 🙄

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

My alma mater, Leicester University, is dissolving its Geology Department leading to the loss of 14 staff. Palaeo is being completely axed, despite Leicester's long and storied history in this area (and its current strengths). Please sign this petition!!: www.change.org/p/save-geolo...

The fisheries minister from Brazil has a point but needs to work harder to enact fisheries management and end open access fisheries in the country. Otherwise we’ll just end up with even more overexploited and collapsed fisheries, harming people, species, and the climate 👎🏼

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels. 10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C 20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Researchers have built the first model mapping supply and demand in Indonesia’s vast songbird trade. The model offers a blueprint for conservation strategies, highlighting the need for market monitoring and community engagement.

Heat extremes attributable to climate change have led to a 25–38% average reduction in monitored tropical bird populations since 1950, according to a study in Nature Ecology & Evolution. go.nature.com/3UIIpP7 🧪

The Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina has been thinning at a sharply accelerated rate since 2019, scientists reported on Thursday. And if the thinning doesn’t slow, it could kick-start a series of changes that might cause the ice to shrink even faster. nyti.ms/4lgguR2

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

When warnings of Insectageddon were issued a few years ago, there was widespread denial. Less so now. It's devastating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The 7th and 8th Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) regional expert workshops were held simultaneously, in hybrid mode (in person & online) in Montevideo, Uruguay from 13–17 January 2024. The regions covered were South American Atlantic and Inland Waters.

The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) project is excited to announce our latest compendium, featuring 21 ISRAs in the South American Inland Waters along with 14 Areas of Interest! This represents the work of 36 expert contributors. Check the compendium here: doi.org/10.59216/ssg...

infoamazonia.org/en/2025/04/0... Guyana’s rapid ascent to major oil producer status, fueled by the giant US oil company, has come at a steep price: rising inequality, weakened environmental regulations, unchecked gas flaring, and growing foreign influence.

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

Re: de-extinction It does feel like there are an awful lot of organisms out there that are very threatened but aren’t actually extinct yet. Doesn’t it make more sense to start by protecting them, if the goal is actually ecological integrity and not a weird self-aggrandizing techno-grift?

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.
