At least we don't have to read about this on a federal government website: At 2°C of warming, the area on Earth that is too hot for humans will triple. This is fine. 🔥🧪

New in #PNAS, temp-driven increased seed production in European beech caused 28% reduction in annual tree ring increments since 2005. Important for European forests and good example using long-term data (43 yr) of how past does not predict future #forestdynamics. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Of all the dumb things I have seen from the Executive Orders in the past 2 days, the National Energy Emergency is one the most ridiculous. Aside from not being needed in any rational sense, the definition for the term “energy” includes everything except solar and wind. FFS.

"Habitat for [the endemic] conifer bigcone Douglas-fir (BDF) in SoCal is likely to shrink 19-57% by mid-century; and wildfire probability could increase 2-4x in BDF habitat, potentially diminishing the value of mid-to-high elevation sites [for this species]." www.frontiersin.org/journals/for...

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
