The Masters Expo claims to unite "the top of the Netherlands" in a "community of greatness." But what kind of greatness is built on inequality, oligarchy, & pollution? In @parool.nl, @maiensachis.bsky.social & I argue: to build thriving societies, we must limit extreme wealth. tinyurl.com/4s3b8sby

Can scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies? Yes, we can. The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exciting new paper from @fdabl.bsky.social, @maiensachis.bsky.social and @jmbh.bsky.social 🙌 They found that #climate researchers engage in much more advocacy and activism than non-climate researchers. But the difference in lifestyle changes was considerably smaller. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
