Mass mortalities washing up on beaches, lobsters and crabs dying in pots, lobster and crab eggs dissolving. Fair to say it’s been a concerning year along the Northeast coast. TODAY universities release their research findings, a thread 🧵1/8

Hopefully this is a sign of progress. The die-offs have taken an enormous toll not only on our marine life but also the coastal communities that depend on a healthy, welcoming and productive sea.

Are meat substitutes really better for the climate than meat and dairy? It was surprisingly hard to find a dataset that answered this question, so I started building one. I show the results in my new Substack post. Spoiler: yes, most are lower-carbon. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/carbon-footp…

Project Manager Callum came across this rare phenomenon on the River Bladnoch in Galloway on Friday. 'Ice pancakes' are unusual in Scotland and most commonly found in Canada, the US, around Antarctica and in the Baltic sea. Specific conditions are required to create them. 1/2

We know the #IceSheet in West #Antarctica has potential to collapse, but is there any real indication of irreversible collapse yet? Two researchers share insights from a first-of-its-kind ice loss study of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Find out more now! egu.eu/1Q4NN2/

🚩 Rosebank is a HUGE mistake from our government. But it's not too late. Alongside other organisations, we signed a letter demanding Rishi Sunak put an end to this initiative. We won't let this stand. Join forces & pledge to take action to #StopRosebank: bit.ly/StopRosebank

And we’ve arrived in Vienna after an intermittent sleep last night. But it was made up for by the beautiful views of mountains and hills in the Austrian sunshine this morning 🏔️ ☀️
