Diversification is the cornerstone of energy security, yet critical minerals are moving in the opposite direction - News - IEA Diversification is the cornerstone of energy security, yet critical minerals are moving in the opposite direction - News from the International Energy Agency

The market share of the top critical mineral refining nations rose to 86% in 2024, with almost all growth coming from the single top supplier: Indonesia for nickel, and China for all other minerals - @iea.org www.iea.org/news/diversi...

Feel like an imposter at university?

Imposter syndrome is common in academia because we’re learning new things all the time. If we believed we already knew everything, what would be the point? Feelings of imposterism simply reflect that we are pushing ourselves to grow 💪 blogs.unimelb.edu.au/bioscience-e... #growthmindset

"Make America Healthy Again" is dead There is nothing RFK Jr. can do at the Department of Health to make up for what's happening at the EPA.

Making America UnHealthy Again, brought to us by the world’s most caring Big Oil CEOs and lobbyists.

Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s

- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

‘Tipping points’ confuse and can distract from urgent climate action | Nature Climate Change Tipping points have gained substantial traction in climate change discourses. Here we critique the ‘tipping point’ framing for oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action. Multiple social scientific frameworks suggest that the deep uncertainty and perceived abstractness of climate tipping points render them ineffective for triggering action and setting governance goals. The framing also promotes confusion between temperature-based policy benchmarks and properties of the climate system. In both natural and human systems, we advocate for clearer, more specific language to describe the phenomena labelled as tipping points and for critical evaluation of whether, how and why different framings can support scientific understanding and climate risk management. The tipping points framing is widely used in climate discussions but receives mixed feedback. This Perspective critiques it for oversimplifying the complexities of natural and social systems and failing to drive effective action, and offers recommendations for future improvements.

A new perspective in Nature Climate Change argues that the discourse around climate tipping points risks "oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action." www.nature.com/artic...

An accurate perspective I've long supported, as have most all climate scientists. In climate normal speak, the new normal is constantly changing until we get to net zero emissions, & then it'll ~stabilize. However, there is a reason to worry this won't be the case. See thread...

Has global warming accelerated in recent decades? If we look at the rate of warming between 1970 and 2008 and extend it through present, we see that almost all years since 2015 are above the previous trend.

What Trump’s expected withdrawal from global climate efforts means for the environment — and the economy President-elect Trump’s victory is expected to result in the U.S. exiting the Paris Agreement once again and more broadly disengaging from global climate efforts. Experts say th…

A slowdown in U.S. climate action isn't just about more costly climate extremes: "if the U.S. reduces its investment in low-carbon technologies, it could lose out in a global marketplace that is trying to cut emissions."

I was just taking a peek at the ocean heat content in the Caribbean, and on December 2, it is STILL higher than it would normally be at the peak two months ago. 🌊🥵
