One of the most immediate climate tipping point dangers is an abrupt cooling of the subpolar gyre, with major impacts on 🇪🇺 climate possible in the next decades. 🌊 Great how @swinda.bsky.social Falkena et al. use advanced causal inference methods to tease out the mechanisms! arxiv.org/html/2408.16...

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

In a meeting today, Sidsel Birk Hjuler pointed out a facet of motonormativity that even I had failed to see: why do we talk about people using people-sized vehicles as MICROmobility? How did people driving around with 4 empty seats get normalized as "mobility"?

Amazing how we keep discovering new benefits that even a relatively small amount of exercise, including just 3-4 brisk walks in a week, can bring. Adding to the list of why making walking, wheeling & cycling an attractive, convenient and safe option for everyday travel is such a good idea

How much of global warming is human-caused? More than 100% How can that be? Doesn't climate change naturally too? Of course But according to natural factors--changes in the sun's energy, volcanic eruptions, natural cycles & more--the planet should be slowly cooling now. Instead, it's warming 😬
