So to introduce myself here on @mstdn and the network: I am an Earth system scientist interested in what the hell is going on on this planet - in view of common history, the history of humans as a species, and Earth's history. I write about the Anthropocene, politics, the biosphere, the essential value of culture and of the arts.

Lead of Earth System Analysis at the Potsdam Institute für Climate Impact Research in Germany, Professor of Sustainability Science at Humboldt University in Berlin and advisor to the German government on environmental policy - but here private: my own opinions & views only.

Should I parallel here what I (for now, still) do on twitter for 5600 followers and sometimes ten thousands of impressions? The much better concept is here in the fediverse.
