We want to draw your attention to the second lecture series of the IDEoPOP doctoral network. We held very interesting seminars on the international dimensions and effects of populism.
You can find all the recordings here: ideopop.populism-internationalrelations.com/doctoral-tra...
🌊The northward shift and rapid displacement of the Gulf Stream provide an indirect early warning of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation weakening and collapse.

Well thanks Larcombe & Bierwirth. Not only do we have to stress over our kids living in a future where large chunks of land will be under water and southern England will have the climate of northern Norway due to AMOC stoppage, THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALSO BE TOXIC.

Given the existential threat to the UK of an AMOC collapse and (sooner) the Subpolar Gyre (SPG) - a reader commented: "what is the UK Gov doing to prepare?" According to Hansard, AMOC has only ever been mentioned 3 times, in one Lords debate in 2024. And the SPG? Not once.

Active travel saves the NHS at least £54 million a year just in Liverpool alone.
Other regions especially the north east need to sit up, take note and ramp up their efforts.

It's good to see that the Welsh media are recognising that all the evidence shows that 20mph limits have significantly reduced death and injury on urban/village roads.

A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying £5 daily congestion charge
In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."
Sometimes I think an explicit carbon tax might work for climate.

What if the most important element of attending a seminar or a conference is not learning? - but it is the networks & connections you build for the future?
Just proven this in one more case.

Shout outs to blue sky + mastodon in today's @eurcorrespond.bsky.social, plus the role of misinformation as the War on Wind + Europe's economic heart is migrating S + E.
"Denmark generates 54% of its electricity from wind while maintaining a GDP per capita of $71,026 (the 12th highest globally)"
NEW: Ferry pollution is worse than all the cars combined in many European port cities… but more than half of European ferries could be electric by 2035.
With the average ferry being 26 years old, the fleet is ripe for renewal now.

“Protecting & restoring ecosystems is easier, cheaper & more reliable”

The expansion of knowledge has unfolded alongside the expansion of harm. The damage is neither unforeseen nor poorly understood; it is documented in real time. What impedes response is not ignorance, but the gravitational pull of convenience, entrenched power, and habitual patterns of consumption.

Great climate, security, health leadership of mayor Heiða Hilmisdóttir @hilmisdottir.bsky.social and Reykjavík City. Constraining fossil fuel production together.
A fine step for Iceland that was already in a Nordic leadership position with its warning about the risk of AMOC collapse. So promising!
Reykjavik is once again demonstrating what it means to be a climate leader!
Iceland stands on the frontlines of the climate crisis and this endorsement sends a clear message: addressing fossil fuel production must be part of the solution.
Iceland is using geothermal energy to help farmers, above the arctic cycle, grow food all year round.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Bursting the bubble: Europe is capable of phasing out Russian gas ahead of schedule
The EU is no longer facing an energy crisis, and Russia has overestimated its own indispensability, explains economist Vladimir Milov.
This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea
If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on

"Den russiske invasion af Ukraine handler ikke kun om territorium, men også om at sabotere Europas grønne omstilling. Putins regime ser klimapolitikken som en trussel mod sin fossile magt".
Ambitiøs klimapolitik er ikke i konkurrence med oprustningen af forsvaret – men dens strategiske supplement.
”The planet’s energy balance is drifting further out of alignment, ocean warming is now accelerating, and the land’s capacity to absorb carbon is declining, along with other troubling trends.”

When the climate shifts, it squeezes the safe climatic space of grasslands, says lead author Chaohui Li in @cnn.com interview. The researchers find that world's grasslands could shrink by half as climate change becomes more intense, threatening global food systems.

"Thinking through the implications of 4C warming shows that the impacts are so significant that the only real adaptation strategy is to avoid that at all cost because of the pain & suffering that is going to cost. There is no science on how we are going to adapt to 4C warming" @neiladger.bsky.social
