On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we highlight how EO is helping better understand & protect our oceans. 🌊 Our new article how shows #Copernicus S3 satellites tracked massive sargassum blooms across the Atlantic & Caribbean, and how satellite data turns ocean colour into actionable insight: bit.ly/49CmHUE

Extraordinary to hear the Minister for Nature, Christopher O'Sullivan, essentially say on the national news this morning that the EU have got it all wrong, and that Ireland's bogs are in fact being protected. The picture is mixed, but overall *not* good.

The Weather and Climate Livestream starts today at 4pm ET, and I am the first speaker, at 4:20! I'm going to talk about my own career, how it was enabled by many great people, federal agencies, and intellectual traditions, and the public benefits of the whole enterprise. wclivestream.com

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Transport and urban planning have a gender problem, where the fields are 86% male in the US, 80% in Asia, and 78% in the EU. In spite of this, women are driving some of the most consequential urban transformations happening in cities now. READ our latest for @planetizen.bsky.social: bit.ly/4wVbWqr

📣 Just out: our new study on the 'cold blob' in the Northern Atlantic. Is that due to ocean currents bringing less heat there, or due to more heat being lost through the sea surface? Our data analysis strongly suggests it's due to #AMOC slowing. 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

The natural capital concept need not be about putting a value on nature, but about recognising the key role of nature in our economies People get mixed up about this, much like representing ecosystem services as monetisation rather than the benefits we get from nature www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hier nochmal derselbe Punkt: "high warming" Szenario ist trotz "lower emissions" nach wie vor realistisch weil energy imbalance nicht nur von fossilen Emissionen abhängig ist und die anderen Faktoren von Modellen/Szenarien unterschützt werden. via @bberwyn.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/weat...

Eine US-Bürgerin wird verhaftet, weil sie vor gefährlichem Trinkwasser in ihrer Gemeinde warnt... obwoll diese Wochen später selbst dazu rät, Trinkwasser abzukochen. Das muss die Redefreiheit sein, die von Rechtsextremen so eifrig verteidigt wird. Können wir alles auch haben, wenn...

Five years ago today - May 26, 2021 - the District Court of The Hague issued a historic ruling that Shell must slash its CO2 emissions 45% by 2030 The ruling was overturned on appeal, & on Fri @milieudefensie.bsky.social urged the supreme court to reinstate it www.oneearthnow.org/p/the-nether...

Do you ever think about how strange it is - globally, historically - to live in a country that's never at peace? My whole adult life, the US has been bombing or invading other countries. Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran. This is not a normal thing.

141 countries find common ground on climate.

We (me & @tomheap.bsky.social ) were back in the studio today for a new series of Rare Earth 🎉🌍. We start this Friday (12 on BBC Radio 4, online after) with a celebration of flowers - much more than just the pretty face of a plant. Earth is a flower power planet; tune in on Friday to hear how & why!
