Repealing the endangerment finding does not repeal ΔF ≈ 5.35 ln(C/C₀) W·m-2 CO2 still traps heat. Physics remains undefeated. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The scientific case is won, the Paris Agreement means all the countries of the world agreed to action, yet it still remains a challenge to shift the dial. Some good news here but depressing that climate change action remains political. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ever notice that multiple‑choice quizzes often feel strangely predictable? I recently dug into why answers so often sit in the middle—and what this reveals about our deep, systematic difficulty with randomness. It’s more surprising than you might think. 🧵👇 1/10

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today. The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers. #ShowYourStripes

#WeekendReading: Ouyang et al. on the Phanerozoic onset of large-scale continental weathering. It does lean on K/Al, which I am having some issues with, but a good amount of other proxies show up as well. 🧪⚒️ Link: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

There’s a massive disconnect between important ocean science research and what hedge fund bros think ocean science research looks like.

Let's ask the question: How many times do the following people show up being named in the Epstein Files: President Joe Biden: 0 President Barack Obama: 0 MN Governor Tim Walz: 0 President Donald Trump: 4,500 Does any Republican not see the problem?

People are struggling. We need to lower bills, protect our NHS and rebuild our public services. My interview with #BBCLauraK Great to see Green Party membership rising once again! youtu.be/lMmDM_PvHyc?...

I don't think people appreciate the extent to which coral reefs are screwed. Even if ocean acidification doesn't get them, increasing ocean temperatures will. How screwed they are is up to us.

Let's talk about who funds Reform. Let's talk about how disastrous Brexit has been. Let's talk about why Gorton & Denton must vote Green & stop Reform. Why so quiet, Nigel Farage?

Oh.

We promised to throw the kitchen sink at this election. Well we've definitely voted for the right candidate with the skills for the job! Hannah & the Greens are taking the fight to Reform. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

The DFG Priority Programme “Tropical Climate Variability & Coral Reefs” (SPP 2299) has released a new video highlighting the programme’s current research activities and outlining upcoming scientific priorities. Check out the new video on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/PUQUnIhgVEk?...

Found a startling comparison using real photographs of one reef over the decades.

🧪🌎 All western Atlantic coral reefs are on the same decline trajectory, although Florida is one of the most further along: doi.org/10.1111/cobi... illustration by @rushstudio.bsky.social

Very effective illustration of what has happened to Florida's coral reefs in response to anthropogenic climate and environment change. The loss of this important ecosystem is all but complete - attempts to rescue it discussed here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🪸🧪🌊

When it rains, it now rains more. For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall. And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

People in 2050 would give trillions of dollars just to have the climate that we enjoy today.

Reconstructed 10 °C upper ocean meridional temperature gradient during the early Eocene but significant proxy-model differences, especially in the Southern Ocean, persist.

17 BREACHED MP code of conduct, and not declaring on time over £380.000. This man is literally worse than any Tory worse than Johnson. How can anyone think he's right to run uk?. Thought back to honest politics was the key............

🚨BOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed. Let’s keep going! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Farage failed to declare over £380,000 in outside earnings on top of his MP's salary. He's lining his pockets when he should be standing up for Britain. www.parliament.uk/globalassets...

Listening to the Orange One in Davos - so far he seems to have called Greenland "Iceland" three times...unless he is also wants Iceland too?!

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

The arithmetics of glacial till from the Suffolk plateau: Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay + Cretaceous Chalk + Pliocene Crag + Pleistocene erratics from W Midlands, E Midlands, Pennines, Northumbria, Scotland, N Sea, etc, mashed under a colossal ice sheet = the Lowestoft Till. It's a beast of a deposit.
