Marie Curie fellowships are madness this year. A score of 97% required for funding. To all those who didn't succeed - you and your project are probably brilliant, hang in there and keep trying

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belรฉm (Brazil), 12% up from last yearโ€™s talks in Baku, Azerbaijan.

What should be the most serious, urgent talks on the planet continue to be a farce.

We often forget how far we have come:

โžก๏ธ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources.

โžก๏ธ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation.

Renewable energy produces more electricity than coal for the first time, experts say Solar and wind are now growing fast enough to not only meet the world's growing appetite for electricity, but to outstrip it.

For a long time renewable energy uptake in Africa was lacklustre at best.

But that is changing: Solar panel imports to Africa have surged over the past yearโ€”a shift poised to touch nearly every country on the continent as new Ember analysis shows.

โ€˜Explosive increaseโ€™ of ticks that cause meat allergy in US due to climate crisis Unusually aggressive lone star ticks, common in the south-east, are spreading to areas previously too cold for them

When it comes to climate change, the number of amplifying feedback cycles far outweigh the dampening ones. But here's one in the latter category!

Eating more meat -> higher GHG emissions -> more climate change -> more meat allergies -> lower GHG emissions

Great Barrier Reef fish reveal that large-scale macroecological patterns have changed significantly ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ 

We found that changes in latitudinal diversity gradient & rising species turnover were strongly correlated with shifts in coral composition
