Effects of salinization on aquatic food webs
Salinization is a global environmental threat to inland and coastal aquatic ecosystems. It is defined as an increased concentration of ions in water (…

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

"A study of federally funded research projects in the United States estimated that principal investigators spend on average about 45% of their time on administrative activities related to applying for and managing projects rather than conducting active research" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The #TransformativeChange Report highlights the diverse perspectives of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and demonstrates that their practices and lifestyles are often rooted in knowledge and value systems that promote sustainability. — Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO DG
A striking image of a coastline. A photo of UNESCO DG Audrey Azoulay appears over the background image, along with her quote which reads "Our planet is facing growing environmental and social crises. Increasing evidence shows that these issues cannot be addressed through gradual action – our social and economic systems instead need large-scale transformative change."

Why Are Quebec's Wetlands Disappearing? – The Rover
In Montreal, where 80 per cent of wetlands have disappeared, locals are fighting to make Quebec enforce its own environmental laws.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

Denmark, home to five times more livestock than people, is set to make history as the first country to tax methane from animal burps and manure in a bold climate move. bit.ly/3ZtQc5l #methane #tax #milk #livestock @climatenews.bsky.social @climate.skyfleet.blue @wedonthavetime.bsky.social

Taxing Farm Animals’ Farts and Burps? Denmark Gives It a Try.
Cows and pigs produce a large share of planet-warming methane. A new tax is part of a plan to clean that up.

One of my favourite data discoveries this year: Google's mind-blowing ARCO-ERA5 dataset: hourly data for ~300 climate variables, available globally from 1940! 🤯 Loadable with a single line of Python code from a single cloud-friendly Zarr file! Below: a month of wind waves + swell: 🌊
