We will wish we had acted faster and sooner.
Future generations will not understand why we didn't.

I wonder if this service named after the great confession of Bertie Wooster’s: “As a rule, you see, I'm not lugged into Family Rows. On the occasions when Aunt is calling Aunt like mastodons bellowing across premieval swamps … the clan has a tendency to ignore me.”

@EnvironmentElle net zero pledges, and all the rest need to be based on good data. Unfortunately we don't have it https://climatetrace.org

America, it seems like a REALLY good time to re-state my absolute amazement that you haven’t made this kind of election cheating illegal. #gerrymandering #GOP #riggedelections #cheating #VOTE #midterm #midterms #election

@timinclimate thanks for sharing Tim. I am aware of CER as an example of bad regulation!

Transparency has to be a core aim for a Carbon Regulator. It's not about adding red tape that companies will resist (and lobby against) but giving regulatory powers to make sure those businesses who are doing the right thing can maintain their competitive edge against those who are not.

Also has to be part of a wider package of measures that ensures consumer demand is there too.

The UN's report on integrity of #NetZero at #COP27    sends clear message on regulation:

📢Net-zero pledges need to move from voluntary commitments to regulated requirements

📢Transparency and accountability listed as one of the 10 principles

Carbon regulation here we come🎉

A reminder that good regulation establishes a credible framework for low carbon growth and gives consumers confidence I what they are buying.

It will also help ensure Net Zero has a material effect on emissions.

Hey #TwitterMigration, did you know that there are different apps that can access Mastodon?

On Android, you also have Tusky (much simpler/friendlier) and Fedilab (more complex/obtuse.) On Fedilab, you can not only follow specific hashtags, but the Local Timelines of other Mastodon instances.

You do not need to create new accounts to see content from other instances. You are not gated out. They are all publicly accessible.

Peace. Solidarity. Dignity.
Freedom. Unity. Europe. 🇪🇺

Today, we mark the 33th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – a decisive moment in European history.

As the 1.5°C target is becoming increasingly unrealistic, it is worth reminding the losses and dammages identified by #IPCC AR6 WGII in case of overshoot

@Empiricism @mustapipa

I think of it as "For our species there are stupid limits and there are smart limits."

After (if) we sort our climate "oops" there are still after all limits, due to A=4πr2.

(And if we can't competently manage -this- gratuitously and richly supplied sphere we've no reason to believe we can do better-- starting from impoverishment-- on another. First things first, thinking of Elon & similar.)

A gorgeous eruption for your feed. This is #Ruapehu during the 1995-96 eruption in Aotearoa/New Zealand. My grandfather took a bunch of volcano photos, he absolutely loved them. I inherited them years later as a volcanologist and I know he would have loved me sharing them with the world ❤️

I don't know exactly how I'll be using Mastodon just yet, but here's an intro: Hi, I'm Celeste! I'm an environmental seismologist, mostly specializing in seismic signals generated by glacier processes. I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow at UCalgary, which I started after finishing my PhD at Caltech in June. I sometimes take cool pictures in the field as Queen Elsa for fun and for outreach, like this one near my current field site in British Columbia:

@Aravosis Three days ago you kicked the door open to a building whose interior you know little about and are surprised when that community has a standing code of doing things that feels foreign to you. Conversations were already happening, communities were already formed with routines and norms.

The CW is not only for trigger warnings, for many its a neat wrapper so that everyone's not scrolling through a wall of text.

I don't think treating this as a surrogate mother for Twitter is the most appropriate approach.

Your commentary approaches this from a concern about "view-metrics." Don't worry, people will still engage with content and still click on "show more."

A Saskatchewan man has been killed fighting in eastern Ukraine, the second Canadian known to have died defending the country against a Russian invasion.

Joseph Hildebrand, a 33-year-old Canadian Forces veteran, was killed in the front-line city of Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region, on Monday.

Are eight billion humans too many for planet #Earth? As we reach this milestone on November 15, most experts say the bigger problem is the overconsumption of resources by the wealthiest residents.
