A hand holds a book titled “Medusa – Storie dalla fine del mondo (per come lo conosciamo)” by Matteo De Giuli and Nicolò Porcelluzzi. The cover features a large, colorful jellyfish in shades of pink, purple, and blue against a black background

Un gioiellino

“Medusa, Storie della fine del mondo (per come lo conosciamo)” ha uno stile ibrido tra giornalismo, saggistica e scrittura poetica. Raccoglie storie, reportage, riflessioni, citazioni attorno ai temi della crisi ecologica, dell’Antropocene. BELLISSIMO

A text about the academic publishing system

My mum’s response when I described the academic publishing system 😂 I mean, she’s not wrong!

The Next COP Needs to Confront ‘Overshoot’ The Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is now all but impossible. Limiting — and eventually reversing — the damage will take some thought.

UN sec. gen. Antonio Guterres got it wrong when he said "Scientists tell us that a temporary overshoot above 1.5 degrees is now inevitable." Surpassing 1.5 may be inevitable, but the "temporary" part, not so much. My Q&A w/ an expert on why COPs need to confront this. heatmap.news/climate/cop-...

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal.

Southern Ocean’s Heat Storage – a Possible Cause of Future ‘Heat Burps’ 20 November 2025 / Kiel. So far, the ocean has helped to buffer global warming by absorbing more than 90 per cent of the excess heat trapped in the Earth system by the anthropogenic greenhouse effect....

A GEOMAR study has revealed that heat accumulated in the ocean may be released once more from the depths of the Southern Ocean, following centuries of atmospheric cooling after the reversal of anthropogenic global warming — possibly as a large “heat burp”— and warm the atmosphere once more.

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk.

Economies with decreasing emissions and growing economies

Looking at the “bright” side, 35 economies are decarbonizing: reducing their fossil CO₂ emissions while having a growing economy.
Together they account for 27% of global fossil CO₂ emissions.

Global fossil CO₂ emissions

1) Fossil fuel
Still no peak. Emissions are projected to increase by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 38.1 GtCO2. An all time high.

This video makes me happy 🥰🥰

Pure joy on the Bike Bus this morning!

Kiki Kiki Kiki, I miss her already.

🤔 I read the Idiot by Elif Batuman recently. It’s beautifully written but I didn’t love it as much. She is for sure a great writer but I picked it up and put it down several times before I got into it.

A hand holding the book “On Beauty” by Zadie Smith with a patterned cover.

I read it literally non-stop. I can’t believe it was written 20 years ago.

On Beauty: art, family drama, and academic chaos. I loved everyone in this book (especially Kiki 🥰).

Zadie Smith shows us that beauty isn’t perfect… it’s awkward, loud, complicated, and hilariously human

Negative verbal probabilities undermine communication of climate science - Nature Climate Change Effective communication of uncertainty is vital for public accurate understanding of climate science. Here the authors find that projections using positive probability terms (for example, a small prob...

When climate scientists say an outcome is “unlikely,” do you hear “it probably won’t happen” or “scientists aren’t sure”?

A new study shows word choice can influence perception of scientific consensus

Does “a small probability” sound more confident to you?

Isotope data show >6 µm natural particles fuel zooplankton diets, but mining adds inert particles of the same size, diluting nutrition and triggering bottom-up impacts that reach predators

"Natural CO2 removal is increasingly being claimed as anthropogenic climate mitigation. This misrepresentation is already prevalent for forests and coastal ecosystems; there is now the risk of the error reoccurring for open-ocean CO2 uptake via the biological carbon pump."\

La povertà non è mai inclusa nella società. E soprattutto è considerata una colpa. “Non hai fatto abbastanza” questo è il sottotitolo.
