I really don't like delivering messages like these but here we go again We've just come out of 3 back-to-back last Nina's, el nino as barely even begun (not yet declared by BoM) and the IOD wasn't active during winter. There's only one explanation. We're cooking the planet.

As those who follow me know, I am concerned about the impacts of heat waves on natural ecosystems and crops. Another aspect is how such changes in climate will influence mental health, particularly in young people. Hence my interest in C. Dober's article theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

If there was ever a paper I wish had been around when I was doing my #PhD, this would be it! Phenomenal new paper by Florian Busch & colleagues in Plant Cell & Environment. If you use a #licor/take #gasexchange measurements, this is a MUST read! 👇 #photosynthesis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…
