New research published in Nature today finds that we are on track for climate damages worth $38 trillion per year by 2050. This is a staggering figure. The damages are projected to be worth 6x more than the mitigation costs of limiting global warming to 2C.

Gaza’s universities embodied the ambitions of young Palestinians.

In weeks, the Israeli military destroyed them.

📣Registration open for the first edition of our #PhD immersive course on #carbon #farming on a dairy farm in France 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾🐄! We seek to see, to witness, experience, and truly understand: what is carbon farming?➡️wur.nl/en/activity/gr…

Great to see Sayer et al. actually demonstrate what's been assumed in textbooks for decades:

Ecocide is a part of genocide. All the environmental defenders & climate justice warriors should be outraged by this, raise their voices against it, and collectivize such that mass death of humans & ecosystems aren’t so readily normalized by colonizers & genocide apologists. 🧵⬇️

New paper out! We ask the question: Given the consensus among ecologists about the urgency of the climate crisis, why is our field not promoting more solutions-oriented research in training and practice? 1/9

Wild how we call it biodiversity 'loss' instead of biodiversity destruction. Biodiversity is not just spontaneously disappearing.

Check out our perspective in Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal: 'Beyond growth: the significance of non-growth anabolism for microbial CUE in the light of soil carbon stabilization!' Here we evaluated how ignoring non-growth C can underestimate CUE and soil C projections! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Earth system models are converging on predictions of 21st-century #soil carbon gains, but this does not mean they are more reliable. The models are getting the same answer for very different reasons. zheng shi UCI ESS agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
