Always read @jeffgoodell.bsky.social. IMHO, attribution science, which connects specific extreme weather events to climate change, is the most important area of climate science.

Headshot off Joeri Rogelj against backdrop of the climate stripes, with a quote from Prof Joeri Rogelj: Overshooting 1.5°C is a painful reminder that failing to cut greenhouse gas emissions has consequences we can now no longer avoid, only limit,” says Professor Rogelj. “Our response requires mitigation and adaptation to move together: near-term emissions reductions limit overshoot and reduce harm, but weak mitigation will push communities and ecosystems beyond their ability to adapt"

An anatomical display of an Asian green mussel shell against a black background, shown from six different angles. 

The top row features four vertical views:
1. **Outer shell view:** An elongated, tear-drop-shaped shell transitioning from a light brownish-tan at its pointed apex to a vibrant, polished forest green at its wide, rounded base. Patches of white, encrusted bryozoans are visible on the upper half.
2. **Side profile (hinge edge):** A narrow, elongated view of the shell's side, showing its gentle curvature, green-hued lower half, and textured brown upper half.
3. **Side profile (opening edge):** A slender view showing the smooth, sharp meeting edge of the shell, fading from yellow-brown to bright green at the base.
4. **Inner shell view:** The pearly white, iridescent interior of the shell with a glossy texture, framed by a distinct, bright green margin along the outer edge.

The bottom row features two horizontal, low-profile views of the shell's curved surface from its wide end, emphasizing its shallow dome shape and green-striped coloration.
