The Global Heating Emergency The Healthy Planet Action Coalition is bringing together scientists, policymakers, and concerned citizens for a global online conference.

Many of you, like me, are exasperated that we dither, bicker, and plod thru our daily lives rather than getting on with planning a coherent and pragmatic future of civilizational shift. This will be one of what I hope will be many important forums. I'm not organizing it! srm360.org/event/global...

Thank you! It's disappointing that is has to be run on a such a small budget but glad it's going ahead in spite of this for such important discussions. I hope many people attend and that future sessions get a budget matching the gravity of our situation.

Ah I was so looking forward (maybe the wrong phrase) to attending this but cannot now, do you know if it will be recorded?

‘It’s dying in front of our eyes’: how the UK’s largest lake became an ecological disaster Signs tout a natural paradise, but pollution from over-farming has left Northern Ireland’s Lough Neagh choked by toxic algae

‘It’s dying in front of our eyes’: how the UK’s largest lake became an ecological disaster

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

Thank you so much Carla ☺️

I’m a data scientist based in Northern Ireland, with a background in astrophysics, cancer bioinformatics, and tech-enabled nature restoration.

Currently exploring what’s next and hoping to meet others working across climate, biodiversity, and planetary boundaries and figure out where I can help 😀

Hi everyone, I’m interested in trying to align my next career move with work that helps create the conditions for positive tipping points in nature regeneration- or reduces the risk of crossing climate tipping points or ecological overshoot.
If you’re also thinking about this, I’d love to connect 🌍🌱

I agree and was thinking about this earlier today, every ton counts and every ecosystem and life we can protect may contribute the genetic diversity needed to allow species to adapt. The more we save the more chances life has to continue on.

Let's be very explicit - this is the direct result of Israel blocking aid.

This is an instrument of genocide.

Killing children isn't collateral damage. It's the goal.

Thank you!

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, nobody should have to and I hope you take it as a sign you're doing something right. We absolutely should do everything in our power to save what we can. I love your work it consistently lifts me when doom spirals set in. Thank you for your light!

Can't wait to watch this in Europe!

It would be so fascinating if it didn't also have the potential to be so devastating! Thank you for your dedication!

As a data scientist interested in helping to address biodiversity loss and climate change, this thread makes me so happy! Thank you for introducing yourselves, I'm excited to follow along and learn about the amazing work you all are doing! 🥳

Good AFP fact check on false claims by notorious climate misinformer Anthony Watts about the risk of a major weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, known as #AMOC. 🌊
Great that AFP makes the effort to sort science from lobbyist distortions!

You rock Heloise! I'm so glad you persevered through it all, I know how hard it was and how easy it would have been to fold. This absolutely should be a huge source of pride for you!! I have one of those papers too 🙈

p.s. I'm just joined bluesky and you're one of the first people I followed. Hi!

It feels wrong to like this. I'm not from within the field but this seems like a really important analysis. I hope it will help inspire real change to give nature a chance. Nice work!
