It took me a LONG time but I DID IT - #Greensky has been updated!! There are now more than 1,700 members feeding the main feed's content, through a keyword filter - please hit like on the feed here if you like it! bsky.app/profile/did:... And a new home for full info here: ketanjoshi.co/greensky/

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

A new IEA report finds that Africa could easily cover all of its electricity needs using geothermal energy alone. The continent has 115TW of technical potential in geothermal.

Climate data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows, it is virtual certainty that 2024 will be the warmest year on record and the first calendar year above 1.5°C. This does not mean the Paris Agreement has been breached, it means ambitious #climateaction is more urgent than ever 🧪⚒️🌏🌡️📈

I made a new starter pack in honour of @janefonda.com joining us here!

Afraid to leave the house because it’s so HOT but it’s also hot in the house. It’s supposed to start cooling down at some point right?

Here’s a starter pack with the fantastic women in #AirQuality! go.bsky.app/NQ6j7BU Who is missing?

I’m fostering a dog in need of a permanent home. If you’re in Jo’burg and interested, let me know. She’s a very sweet, gentle and loving staffie-cross-boxer, about 5 years old. She was abused in a past life - someone filed down her teeth and had a chain around her neck 🤬

To kick-start Bluesky, search for feeds + starter packs on topics you're interested in. I've got this feed with 2800 scientists who study climate + 8 starter packs on climate-related topics. Use SkyFollowerBridge to find your X follows + BlueArk to move your tweets over. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Created a very quick starter pack since folks asked (it's very much draft and I will add more) and create one for Global South scholars. Enjoy! go.bsky.app/EMDjhiX

Nature-based solutions are a game-changer: buffering shorelines from storms, shading cities and protecting them from flood, boosting crops with less water and fertilizer, and even improving human health. They're powerful, underused--and the future. Meet the experts leading this vital work ⬇️

I often say there's lots of low-hanging fruit where research could answer important qs with well-designed studies, but they don't happen bc of poor incentives, neglected areas, etc. @ruben.the100.ci suggested writing a thread of 'studies I would fund in a heartbeat'. So here is an ongoing thread.

New folks! Welcome!! See my posts on how to build community here. If folks are slow on follow back esp if you have an anonymous name or not using your real name, so folks just can’t recognize you (or you got lost in the deluge) - Tell people if you were mutuals on Twitter etc & engage in discussion!

The Māori haka in NZ parliament was a sight to behold. This is what standing in your power can look like and it inspired anti-colonial folks globally. Learn more here.

🚨My book is out!🚨 "Confronting Climate Coloniality: Decolonizing Pathways for Climate Justice" This book critically examines climate coloniality globally & presents pathways to decolonize climate justice. 🔗 Info on ordering, discount code, open-access material & more is here. #ClimateColoniality

Hi everyone! Short intro: Geographer/Environmental Scientist, CSIR climate and air quality modelling research group🇿🇦 Working on climate and air pollution co-benefits from a trans-disciplinary perspective Here for the science memes but also for nuanced debate on..

I meant to do this ages ago but finally got around to it - this is a 'getting started on climate bluesky' doc that gathers up basic intro stuff, climate starter packs and climate feeds *Please* reply with everything I've forgotten (which is a lot), I had to smash this out quickly last night!

Okay folks, we are officially done with Twitter. You can find Project Drawdown — the world’s leading resource for climate solutions — on Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, and now… here! Follow @projectdrawdown.bsky.social here and help spread the word! Thanks! Drawdown.org

The extreme climate and weather events attribution work that @frediotto.bsky.social and @wwattribution.bsky.social do is so important and all of you should follow them. 🧪

“We built these universities from tents. And from tents, with the support of our friends, we will rebuild them once again.” Open letter from Gaza academics to the world. Damn. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

“Viva la Vida, Watermelons” - the last painting by Frida Kahlo She was clearly rooting for the right side of history.

Happy #EarthDay2024! What are you doing differently for the Earth today?

Hey listen up: big question for you. What's a climate (or climate-related / metaphorical) book you've read that was just EXTREMELY GOOD - as in, just pure joy to read, you couldn't put the thing down, you lost sleep, just absolutely top-notch good as hell writing

For #InternationalWomensDay my ongoing series of portraits of women in science through history. If you look for them, they’re there. I’m up to 56 now. Here’s to the day when a scientist’s sex is no longer remarkable in any field! 🧪🐡👩‍🔬 #IWD #IWD2024 #histsci #linocut #printmaking 🧵1/2

This would be handy to have when I go home to KZN 🤔

From 1979!! @vfmcneill.bsky.social

Best way to get young people to invest their time in reading is to be willing to invest time in it ourselves. #EduSky #FoundObjectArt

With @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social new tool Climate Pulse, we can see that by the end of February global temperatures have ‘cooled’ from record-breaking levels to 2023 levels for this time of year 👉 check it out: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu 🧪⚒️🌍

I’m not a car person but these new EVs by Olympian Motors look so cool. And they have retro wooden interiors and no screens in your face. Love it

For 145 days, we have watched nearly 1.7 million people forced out of their homes in #Gaza. We need a #ceasefire, now.

“Even now, we estimate that at least 90% of Gaza’s children under the age of five are affected by one or more infectious diseases, and that 70% have had diarrhea in the past two weeks — a 23-fold increase compared with the 2022 baseline.”

I've seen a ton of exciting job openings in climate pop up this week, threading here for my climatesky/greensky/energysky folks and the climate-curious 👀 (full disclosure that one of them is working with me...)

Here is a visual aid to explain why the "freaking out" 🧪

Looking forward to attending this!
