This is such an important ruling. The future may have a chance with such brave young people leading the way.

#ClimateChange: Over 20,000 died in Europe’s summer #heatwaves, figures show

Excess summer deaths:

🇬🇧 3271
🇫🇷 10420
🇪🇸 4655
🇩🇪 4500

“Overwhelming evidence” of the dangers that extreme temperatures present to #PublicHealth

“The summer of 2022 was the hottest on record and we can expect more and hotter heatwaves in future” say Scientists

For everyone who is worried about #climatechange and trying hard to be #carbonneutral and feel that this is near impossible, please bear in mind that there are many other ways to have a positive impact on the world. Being kind and spread love to others, have a positive influence on next generations and love the best you can be right now. This is so valuable and also a way to balance out your #footprint on our beautiful planet #earth.

Study: Climate change is increasing the frequency and temperature of extreme heat waves

Ocean warming and ocean acidification driven by climate change decrease the nutritional quality of some marine organisms, causing disruptions to the ocean food web

Coccolithophores are a very important marine organism. Although they are microscopic, they play a large role in the carbon cycle, and they're an important food source in the ocean

-I used to break news here. That I’m going to stop doing.
-I have some exclusive conversations coming up inside Ukraine, on boosters, on the elections and on 2024 on @inthebubblepod & will use Post & Mastadon first.

I remember when Twitter was just a harmless social app where we talked about our lunch and made dumb jokes or shared goofy memes. Now all anyone talks about is who's been red-pilled by the woke mob, and it's only going to get worse, because it's owned by the King of Brainworms

@jdannan Clearly there are things we don't understand about ice ages, but we understand ice ages well enough that their occurrence does not pose a problem for attributing present-day warming to humans. That's basically the point I was trying to make.

Why do ice ages come and go?

1. You start with variations in the Earth's orbit. You see, the Earth's orbit is not a perfect, unchanging thing, but varies over tens of thousands of years.

2. These variations change the amount of sunlight falling on the Earth as well as how it's distributed. This is what paces the ice ages, and you can find nearly exact correspondence between the ice age timing and these variations.

As described in "Ice Ages: Solving the Mystery" by Imbrie and Imbrie

One thing trinsec noticed that is important here. Almost 100% of the replies on this post where this person is accusing me of more toxic bullshit... virtually all of the replies are in our support... I really appreciate that.

It’s #FollowFriday so I hope folks utilize the hashtag to find my account here!
Give me a boost! Maybe if I can show some of the big accounts on Twitter that it’s possible to grow sizably and quickly here, too, they’ll migrate over!

Okay, I think I've observed enough on here to try to do a proper #introduction: I'm an assistant professor at Rutgers' School of Communication & Information, studying digital discourse, political communication, and computational social science

#firstGen and #nonbinary scholar hoping to connect more with folks over here! Be my friend! 👋 🌈

Activists on the need for direct action amid climate breakdown

Surely it’s a coincidence that the rise in #LGBTQ+ #hate in the US is a mirror of Vladimir #Putin’s regime which just passed a law banning “LGBT #propaganda” among adults.

Surely it’s a coincidence that the first people #Elmo let back on #Twitter are pro-Putin #transphobic hate accounts.

How are we so blind about what’s going on here?

Trump admits he had dinner at Mar A Lago with Kanye and Hitler-admiring, Holocaust-denying Nick Fuentes, but didn’t know who he was.

Trump’s been pulling this shit forever and the GOP owns it: their 2024 front runner dines with a Nazi.

For background on how Trump plays this, see this from 2016:

Scam Alert!

If you receive an email or response on Mastodon like the following, DO NOT click the link. It is a scam fishing for login details at the very least.

Solar generation helped avoid billions in costs for seven Asian countries in the first half of 2022 alone.

That means in the wake of soaring fossil fuel prices, solar power is already contributing to meeting #electricity demand in Asia and enhancing energy security.

#Solar power is expected to continue to exponentially increase at an average annual growth rate of 22% until 2030 across five key #Asian economies: #China, #India, the #Philippines, #Japan and #Indonesia.
