Speaking science in a fractured world: making truth land when facts alone cannot ABSTRACT. Scientific misinformation is a defining challenge of our time. As public trust in science declines and falsehoods spread faster than facts, the scientific community must rethink its role in ...

An incredibly important article and increasingly relevant in modern political climates. Thank you to @rogerslabucd.bsky.social and colleagues for writing this for @dev-journal.bsky.social

Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping in the last 800,000 years warns of future ice loss - Communications Earth & Environment The Antarctic Ice Sheet exhibits hysteresis and irreversible ice loss, with West Antarctic collapse contributing over 4 m of sea-level rise even under minimal additional warming, according to 800,000-...

Simulations covering 800,000 years show that a slight deep-ocean warming can trigger West #Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse, raising sea level by about 4 metres.

Today’s temperatures are already at this threshold. Future irreversible ice sheet loss may occur with little/no further climate warming.

UK airports are set to get NOISIER due to climate change, experts warn If you live near an airport, it might be wise to invest in a decent pair of earplugs - because the noise of departing aircraft is set to get even worse.

Our new study published this month finds that climate change will tend to create more noise around airports across Europe.

The lift generated by a departing aircraft is less in warmer air, reducing climb angles by up to 7.5%.

A visual interpretation of the "Pagan Lady" Viking Grave on Peel island. The woman lies in the earth in pit lined with flat stones. She wears a brown shift and her grave goods include a fabric headband, a bead necklace, a leather puch around her neck, a belt with two knives, and an iron rod with a goose wing laid on top. In this interpretation, the iron rod seems to been seen as a staff, which could indicate the practice of Old Norse seiðr - magic or shamanism. The woman's head rests on a pillow, which the excavation showed to contain downy feathers. Drawing by Mirosław Kuźma. © Leszek Gardeła and Mirosław Kuźma.

An unusual & ambiguous iron rod in the #Viking “Pagan Lady” grave on St. Patrick's Isle, Peel (IOM) has been interpreted as both a roasting spit & a sorcerer’s staff. A goose wing was laid over it. The woman's grave goods included an unusual bead necklace, knives & a down pillow.
