German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

German study shows how far right sets agenda thanks to mainstream parties reshaping their communications to respond to what are initially fringe issues, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate

I’m a climate scientist. Trump’s U.N. address is a fire hose of misinformation OPINION: “What Trump is really doing is advancing a plan laid down years ago by plutocrats and polluters. And making a mockery of our country as he does so,” Michael E. Mann writes.

Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

Important study!

Keynote by Gaia Giuliani #eseh2025 #hybrid: in Anthropocene maser narratives, disaster is producing the 'outthere', the place for the 'monstrous', disposable 'other', where violence and killing is legitimized. Memory and documentation of disobedience as resistance. #PoliticalEcology #envhum

@siegfriedevens.bsky.social scattered nuclear landscape in Belgium, with little national regulation until late 1980s/1990s. Local and transborder anti-nuclear protests, interantional influences really important, but success not entirely clear in face of corporate decisions to drop nuclear plans.

Elisabetta Bini: Internationally networked, Italian anti-nuclear counter experts in the late 1970s and 1980s, not anti-tech, but alternative scientific visions, and using their scientific persona and trade union allies to contribute to larger environmental discourse e.g. at Rio

8/# Challenging previous notions of both interchangeability, and strict distinction of settings, 'naturalizing' certain forms of behavior as present in all places, but to different degrees; parallels drawn by them to biomedical experiments on cell level ex situ.

7/# Not a shift from the zoo to the field, as one might expect, or a split between research in captivity vs in the wild. Postwar ethologists like Kurth, Walther, Kummer, etc, moving almost seemlessly between research in zoos and the field...

6/# @rafdebont.bsky.social “Narratives of Naturalness: Storying Animal Behavior in and beyond the Zoo, 1945-1975": Studying and defining "natural behavior" between the zoo and the field in postwar ethology.

5/# The increase and increasingly quantified data here can work differently here than in human sociology where the individual is lost.

4/# A type of new fables? (and for historians new archives!) to challenge human exceptionalism, naming animals, recording behavior over generations (of animals and researchers) and over time, incl. stories of friendships and rivalries, recorded around identified individuals.

3/# @emilam.bsky.social Talk Title: “Animal Epics: Crafting Generational Tales of Behavior in the Wild”: --> long-term studies on animal behavior demonstrating a change in the understanding of animals and animal behavior over time

2/# and as natural site influencing 20th art and poetry --> e.g. influencing intellectual couple of ecologist C.S. Elton and poet Edith Joy Scovell, Elton's 2nd wife. Up to today artistic expression used in Wytham to communicate ecological connections and environmental agendas to public audiences
