Antarctic glacier retreating at rate 10 times faster than previously measured: Study An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research.

🧪It was miscalculated . With climate, miscalculations are most of times on the optimistic side of the spectrum.
So, here the improved calculations...

Weather and climate extremes in a changing Arctic - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment Rare and extreme climate events have increasingly occurred in the Arctic since ~2000. This Review outlines the observed and projected changes in atmospheric, oceanic and cryospheric extremes and expla...

This -> “We usually think about warming as a gradual, quasi-linear change of temperature over time – it slowly gets warmer everywhere. But nonlinear changes occur across the entire system"

In the #arctic non-linear changes are leading to more extreme weather events

Ice society: looking for life at unlikely altitudes James Bradley studies the microbes thriving in extremely cold environments.

My interview with @nature.com

“A new direction in our work is to understand the microbial inhabitants of the atmosphere. Is it just a dispersal mechanism for dormant cells, or does it harbour active microbes that grow and divide?”

The misleading use of the *salvation* word and concept.

They suggest solutions that may not *save* us, maybe just "delay" the problem, or "suspend" for some time.

The only solutions are through cutting #emissions, optimizing/reducing consumption of natural resources

Plant trees, make more green areas in and around our towns.
People who live in greener neighbourhoods smoke and drink less on average, and those who make regular visits to #nature tend not to smoke.

To help you see the utterly lunacy Norway's oil and gas policies, consider the 20000 km² area that yesterday was cleared for exploration - mainly in the Barents sea.
What they show is the total exploration area in a red thick line. So where are the new areas?

'Professors are the enemy': Trump's war on higher education - Transcript | CBC Radio Front Burner Transcript for March 26, 2025

Qui è dove il vicepresidente degli USA dice: "Dobbiamo attaccare in maniera aggressiva le università".

"I professori [universitari] sono i nemici".

Durante negoziati sul #clima alla International Maritime Organisation:

"Gli Stati Uniti chiedono quindi all'agenzia delle Nazioni Unite di "interrompere tutti gli sforzi per far proliferare in altre sedi l'agenda profondamente ingiusta che si riflette nell'Accordo di Parigi"."

Altrimenti no.

"Se dovessimo raggiungere l'obiettivo fissato dall'Accordo sul clima di Parigi e stabilizzare il riscaldamento globale tra 1,5°C e 2°C, i nostri nipoti potrebbero ancora vedere almeno un quarto dei #ghiacciai svizzeri"

Forbes:
"Miliardi di persone perderanno i loro mezzi di sostentamento e la produzione economica si ridurrà fino al 34% se si permetterà alla Terra di riscaldarsi di 3 gradi Celsius in questo secolo, ma investire meno del 2% del PIL ora potrebbe eliminare la maggior parte di queste perdite."
