I think I've finished this piece: Abstract Mountain (Metaphor): oil on canvas, 40 x 120cm. I've really enjoyed playing with colours I wouldn't normally reach for, as well as allowing myself to just keep experimenting until it reached a stage I felt happy with. #oilpainting #abstractart #metaphor

Dr. Cambria J Nwosu USPS didn’t change how fast mail moves. They changed what the postmark means. That affects elections, healthcare, and anyone living by a deadline.

Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

Without intervention, higher income is strongly associated with higher car dependence across ~800 cities; doubling income ~37% more car journeys. Electrifying a car-dependent city still means congestion, space, safety risk, and asphalt eating your budget. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wow -- a 14 foot difference between one side of a lake and the other, due to wind's powerful push! ⚒️

Well. This is an interesting paper about "supraglacial lakes" in Dronning Maud Land Vestfjella, but not the lakes you're thinking of. . "Lake" Suvivesi they talk about is our water source here at Wasa station. Here's a photo of it yesterday (peak melt season) www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Ireland has one of the world's highest concentrations of data centers. The expansion has reshaped the grid & deepened fossil fuel use. As the EU pushes to triple data center capacity, Ireland offers a warning, writes Louis Boyd-Madsen. Read our investigation with AlgorithmWatch:

Yorkshire Water’s Thruscross Reservoir on 16 September (left) and today (right) — now full and overflowing. Another situation of a tremendous hydrological swing and another lucky escape from critical drought. But we won’t always be so lucky…

What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚 We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support. Let me tell you all about it🧵👇

Paleoclimatologist Jessica Tierney recently published a global temperature record covering almost the past half-billion years. According to her model, 50 million years ago, inland temperatures approached 122 degrees Fahrenheit. www.quantamagazine.org/climate-extr...

87 in Tulsa OK yesterday! Ludicrous for late December. This heatwave is not getting the attention it deserves because it’s not 110 in mid-summer. But in terms of anomalies & # of records, it’s virtually unprecedented/ virtually impossible in the absence of manmade climate change. Last 7 days…

People with one foot in county Armagh and one foot in county Louth are extremely lonely. And extremely cold. They really should come inside

"fossil fuels are killing your grocery bills" is a clear, simple and undeniably true message that voters *already understand*, but centrist parties would never broadly run with that (and the "climate pragmatists" would NEVER suggest it) because opposing fossil fuels directly feels wrong to them

"There's been a change that anyone can see. For instance, in southern Finland, there are more greyish winters with a shorter duration of cold and snow," says Yle meteorologist Anne Borgström. The climate is warming fast in Finland. There is almost no snow where I live now. yle.fi/a/74-20201513

Boxing Day in Orimattila, Finland at 61°N latitude. Wonderful weather, although at this far north you'd expect to have some snow at Christmas.

Half of the Alaska upper air sites with no observations Sunday morning. 😡 This data loss impacts every global weather model in the world. #akwx #weather @wxmanms1.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social

... & have turned to insults to try and delegitimise this research. I am comforted by the fact that they nonetheless get zero traction for that BS here.

"Every tonne of greenhouse gases that we add to the atmosphere causes warming and causes damage. On the other hand, every action that we take to limit greenhouse gases, to restore our ecosystems, to transition away from fossil fuels, leaves us with a more secure and sustainable future."

Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life.

This feels like a crisis, given YouTube's consistent propensity to shoehorn racist, far-right propaganda into feeds.

Britain may be 0, but Ireland is barely a shade better as one of the 10 countries with the lowest connection to nature. It's about time we get together and sort this out. Great paper by Myles Richardson @findingnature.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On Christmas Day, the Trump regime informed Americans, via a DHS tweet, that one only deserves the title of citizen of this nation—the designation "American"—if you accept Jesus of Nazareth as your Lord and Savior, i.e. are Christian. We Jews have heard this canary sing before.

This is an amazing science story on so many levels. I’m not sure where I net out on Dr. Buck’s approach, but I’d love to have a beer with him.
