United Nations Environment Assembly attendees underestimate public willingness to contribute to climate action - Communications Earth & Environment Policy officials often believe that only a minority of the public is willing to contribute to addressing climate change, but climate actions have broader public support, according to an analysis that ...

🌍 Policy gap on climate action

UN Environment Assembly attendees thought only 37% of people would give 1% of income to fight climate change. The real figure? 69%.

The public is more ready than they think.

Sheep are destroying precious British habitats – and we taxpayers are footing the bill | Chris Packham Large parts of Dartmoor have been denuded of wildlife, harmed by farming and a mess of government schemes that are costly in every way, says naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham

0.1% of Dartmoor in good ecological condition. And each Dartmoor ewe loses its owner £16.90 – the ecological and economic craziness of the current sheep grazing regime well explained by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social. Time to change how this amazing place is managed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Even w/some google searching, I have failed to find the source of their quote, so it's possible there is another source which claims that the SLR prediction for The Battery is an additional foot from 2020 (instead of 2000). At best this is another sloppy citation, at worst, it's completely made up.

Additionally, they cite Sweet et al (2022) for the statement that the 1ft of SLR is "locked in". These words do not appear anywhere in that report. Search for yourself:

Interagency Sea Level Rise Scenario Tool Visualize and download the sea level scenarios from the U.S. Sea Level Rise Interagency Task Force.

Their argument against the NOAA (2022) sea level rise projections is simply that they don't believe them (I kid you not). Neither do they bother to use the latest projections (e.g. here for NYC) sealevel.nasa.gov/task-force-s...

As Tamino points out, the DOE report does no analysis whatsoever. They pick 5 stations (out of dozens) and simply show the graphs for 4 of them. The fifth (St. Petersburg, FL), very clearly shows acceleration even without statistical analysis, but is not shown (for unknown reasons).

Sea Level Mis-information from DOE Here in the USA, the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a report titled “A Critical Review of the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” It is a product of the &#8…

Is sea level around the US accelerating? If you actually do the analysis, instead of just repeating talking points from decades ago, the answer is yes.

I relaunched the Exmouth Resuable Cup earlier this year. Success of schemes depend on the enthusiasm of the batista, the convenience of drop off (if using a cup provided by cafe) and a closed loop system. Check out CitytoSea for comprehensive report

Yep and discount for using a reusable one

If we looked after each other like penguins do we'd all be better off

Yep they eat through everything, including plaster...metal is the only way I know

They, sadly, won't be able to avoid it when it doesn't rebound at all...which is likely to happen in the next decade or so. The Tipping Point for corals has passed

Hopefully it will put a load of people off flying

Yup, he got even cooler...

Motherfucking wind farms…

I love the way everyone is always up in arms about humans purposefully changing the weather/climate....when humans have been doing that for 11,000 years...at least!

This could collapse an entire ecosystem if extraction continues unabated. One day it will just drop off a cliff

Thanks, interesting. I would have thought the UK would have been more considering their early part in FF distribution. I guess compared to the acceleration around the globe it isn't.

Is that including the FF the UK exported since 1850?

To connect with younger generations that should be a priority. What these people say matters. You and other top scientists should reach out. Everything needs to be tried

Clean American GAS. How is that even remotely allowed

Not surprised...any glaciers left?

So 76% of people probably think they are necessary...I hope!

Great interview...really clear explanation of current situation

🌱 Can fake meat help real change?

A new review asks if plant-based meat alternatives can support healthier, greener diets in the UK and Ireland.

The answer? They might help, but they are no silver bullet.

It just isn't being measured. Simple. It's obviously way over

Yep...animal agriculture at least 25%. New UK land use doc v v interesting. Gonna have to lose those sheep!

The Tipping point for coral reefs was confirmed at the recent TP conference in Exeter, UK
