Short stopover in Florence. Still so nice and full of people. My journey continues towards Bolzano and Munich. I might have to push a bit further bc hotels in Munich seem fully booked and/or super expensive. Maybe Augsburg? Or Ingolstadt? Final destination […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

I made it to Innsbruck with OBB, only +10. Could even seat without a reservation (lucky). Now for a different train ride with the Hungerburgbahn (cable train) and a view of the city (not interrail, though).

I've gathered that travelling by train in Germany means some delays here and there... After an unplanned rerouting on a regional train, we arrived late in Köln. But our next ICE was also late, so all good so far 😮‍! Next stop Bruxelles Midi to catch the […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

A very telling story about Arctic sea ice decline and the climate crisis we are in. By @SigneAaboe, made with @osi_saf data #climatecrisis #seaice #showyourstripes

Changes in Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent are shown as coloured bars, each representing annual anomalies from 1979 to 2025. Blue colours indicate years with above-average sea ice extent and red colours indicate years with below-average sea ice extent relative to the 1981-2010 climatology average. We see a general transition from blue to red through time throughout the record.

J'esperai un peu que mes parents seraient épargnés en Finistère. Mais 3 jours de suite avec >30C et >20C la nuit ça va laisser des traces. Et j'ai une grand-mère en maison de retraite, je ne peux qu'espérer qu'ils ont des routines adaptées.
