This is scary. An incredible amount of excess energy is accumulating on our planet. No one knows how exactly this energy will manifest itself again. Extreme weather events, like the recent hurricane in Mexico, are just the beginning and will become the norm.

Breaking News! Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline. The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.

🔥 Smoke from our fires kept Earth cool. 🗓️ Potentially for thousands of years! In Global warming in the pipeline (1), our recent paper lead by the great James Edward Hansen, we presented this theory. This might help answer the question of why the planet didn't warm (or even

James Lovelock: "Enjoy life while you can: in 20 years global warming will hit the fan" I am not sure about 20 years, as science shows it is already starting to hit the fan. doi.org/10.1093/biosci… theguardian.com/theguardian/20…

It's a farce.. hottest year on record, COP led by the fossil fuel industry and planning to expand extraction. What could possibly go wrong?

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

🌲🛰️💡 Excited to share WoodlandWatch's win of the St Andrews Innovation award! This startup is set to transform UK forest monitoring with earth observation technology, enhancing forest management efficiency and addressing the growing challenges of climate change. #startup #forest

🛰️Thrilled to share my latest research paper on effects of spatial resolution in soil erosion monitoring in the Arctic tundra. Study in NE Iceland compares satellite and UAV imagery to explore biases. A new metric for mixed pixel assessment is introduced. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The productivity losses🌽🌳 due to water erosion are estimated to 625 Billion 💲 by 2070. This is about 0.12% of global GDP with a yearly losses of about 11 Billion 💲. Soil erosion will provoke an increase of land used for food consumption to 167,000 km2 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The strange case of the Cook pine trees, that tilt by 8.55° towards the equator, whatever the zone they live on Earth. Cook pines are towering trees that were once restricted to their native home of New Caledonia, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. Through cultivation, they

Thrilled to present at #ESA Soil Symposium at #ESRIN on soil restoration & conservation. Great debate with soil & remote sensing experts & EU policymakers on monitoring degraded soils. My presentation highlighted the critical role of UAVs' in validating EO products. #soilerosion

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.

Great gathering at the #ASSW2024 in Edinburgh bringing together the Arctic community, with broad range of excellent talks. I shared insights at ScotArcticNet session, on Icelandic and Fennoscandian tundra microclimates and impacts on vegetation dynamics. Photos JFD Media / ASSW

Couldn't agree more.

The recording of our #ASSW2024 research spotlight session is now up. Tune in to see Beth Langley discuss sedimentary carbon, Georg Kodl - tundra soil and vegetation, Alöna Roitershtein - sustainable tourism in the Orkneys, expertly chaired by ⁦Dr Anna Gebruk⁩ youtu.be/SPwU7oCEM7E?si…

Breaking News! Code Yikes! On June 21st, the 365-running average for the global mean surface temperature reached 1.64°C above pre-industrial.

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 nature.com/articles/s4156…
