Inzwischen etabliert: “klimaneutral”, “klimapositiv”

Genauso nötig: “biodiversitätsneutral”, “biodiversitätspositiv”

"Rabbits, hares & pikas could become this century’s new climate migrants – with up to 2/3 of species forced to relocate. There are almost certainly going to be extinctions among some of the more sensitive & less adaptable species."🐇

I've seen some consternation about the (very) extreme #temperature predictions over Europe. For context, I've created a GIF of the predictions (also hindsight) by the #ECMWF for appx the first two weeks of january.

These are temperature anomalies, and they have been very extreme. The "cooler" temperatures predicted for the coming days are still well above average.

(3/3) Vitamin D ist kein harmloses Supplement, dass man bedingungslos schlucken kann. Habt Ihr Bedenken, dass Ihr einen Mangel habt, konsultiert Eure Hausärztin oder Euren Hausarzt. Bei versehentlicher auch einmaliger Überdosierung konsultiert den Giftnotruf.

Interesting piece in the #Nature journal about the #birdsite and its importance in #science.

As a very recent arrival on #Mastodon and in the #Fediverse, I'm seeing far more engagement here than on Twitter, despite having far fewer followers here.

Being here feels like the earlier days on Twitter, where posts are generously shared and where there is a genuine sense of building and supporting a community

I hope this continues and that the wider #Science and #Environment communities and also #universities jump on board.

For a now slightly dated view (in Nature) of the merits of Mastodon for scientists, see also this:

Did #COP15 deliver for #biodiversity and people?
Here’s a nice breakdown of the strong and weak points of the agreement.

It's the #WinterSolstice!
Let's enjoy silence & darkness for a while.

So #COP15 proved to be an historic moment for #biodiversity. It’s not a perfect deal and it doesn’t have the full financial backing it needs to reach the 2030 targets, but it is a good start. We can build from here.
So many thanks to the thousands of people around the world that worked together to achieve this plan.

Wegen Krankheitswelle 2022: Tja, Kinder, da müsst ihr jetzt halt durch, stellt euch nicht so an.
