Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts.

Wir dürfen radikalisierten Bauern nicht das Feld überlassen.

'Gegen die Angst vorm »Greenlash« helfen den Regierungen aber keine Zugeständnisse, sondern nur Mut zu den eigenen Werten.'

The next victim sacrificed on the block of short-sighted populism: the EU nature restoration law.

Interesting overview on the emergence of #pesticide -free agriculture systems in Europe.

🧵New SPRINT #research paper out now from Irene Navarro and team on #pesticide residues in #water bodies including #lakes and #streams . It assesses the occurrence and risks from pesticides in 10 European countries and Argentina. Some key findings...

The EU governments have finally agreed to the supply chain law (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, CSDDD)). Watered down, but still...

Next step: vote in the EU Parliament.

We've just published our new AI-based tool (using transformers) for improving the accuracy of predicting the toxicity of chemicals (aka 'QSARs').

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our new multi-scenario risk assessment paper on #emergingchemicals is out! We explore the role of #QSAR predictions, weight their deviations, and introduce potential risk driver concept for future #ecotox testing. Read more here: shorturl.at/lmnN0

Here's a thread in pictures about the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC which is making headlines this week. I've studied this topic since 1991 and will show key data and models & some video.
Let's go: observed temperature trend since 1901 from nature.com/articles/nclim… 🧵1/x

Kind reminder for the public: there is not a single #EUBiodiversity / #EUFarm2Fork / #EUForests legislative act that has already been agreed on, which leaves this side of #EUGreenDeal empty! #SUR #ForestMonitoring #SoilHealth #RestoreNature cc Ursula von der Leyen Bas Eickhout Mohammed Chahim

.European Commission shelves its plan to cut #pesticide use by 50% #SUR .

That won't help with the (imaginary and real) problems that EU farmers face. But it jeopardises environmental protection on a continental scale.

And it reeks of political desperation.

'Last year the annual number of papers retracted by research journals topped 10,000 for the first time. '

Not all of them are fraudulent, also scientists make honest mistakes. And kudos to everybody who then retracts his/her paper.

But too many are.

Das ist der ausgestreckte Mittelfinger an rechtspopulistische, intellektuelle Totengräber der Demokratie mit ihren freiheitsdeformierenden „wir sind die schweigende Mehrheit“-Märchen. DAS ist die Mehrheit. Und es gibt Neuigkeiten: SIE SCHWEIGT NICHT MEHR!

„Bestellte Massen“ 😂
Wie verzweifelt muss man sein, wenn man die Wahrheit sieht.

Demokratie lebt 🇩🇪 Faschismus ist keine Meinung!

Was ein grandios entlarvendes Wochenende! Hier die Top-Antworten auf die hunderttausenden #LAUTgegenRechts Demonstranten:

1. Bilder sind KI
2. Die sind bezahlt worden
3. Die sind vom Arbeitgeber gezwungen worden
4. Die waren nur zufällig da
5. Die wollten nur mal gucken

(1/-)

45 000 Menschen haben in #Bremen eine deutliche Meinung. Gegen rechts.
