Jag har länge granskat skogsindustrin. Den här kritiken mot Sveaskog - statens egna skogsbolag - från statens myndigheter, är bland det mest öppna, direkta och allvarliga jag sett. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/klim...

A five year truth commission into Swedish treatment of the indigenous Sámi people concluded that the state should formally apologise for a catalogue of abuses. However so far only the green and left parties are willing to support that www.svt.se/nyheter/sapm...

"But the trouble with all of these additions and applications piled atop the humble research article is that they’re new solutions to a comprehensively solved problem." Excellent from @jbyoder.org

Great case of "land doesn't vote, people do" in Sweden

Svenska myndigheter får allvarlig kritik kring hanteringen av forskaren David - i ett tio sidor långt brev från FN till regeringen. FN-rapportören kräver att regeringen ser till att tjänstefel utreds och att polisen utbildas i mänskliga rättigheter. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/oE...

Med en dryg månad kvar till valet gör regeringen nu grundläggande förändringar i Naturvårdsverkets roll. Sedan 1988 har myndigheten haft en pådrivande roll i arbetet för en bättre livsmiljö. Nu är det slut. Istället villkoras arbetet mot ”näringslivets konkurrenskraft”.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

An editorial in Sweden’s leading newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, on the absurdity of Sweden having Europe’s cheapest petrol but high taxes on clean electricity. This is what happens when the far right takes power. Warning to all other European democracies! www.dn.se/ledare/borde...

As the USA commemorates its semiquincentennial, the question arises: What's the best way to celebrate a country's birthday? Fifty years ago, over 4,000 riders embraced the Spirit of '76 by cycling from sea to shining sea. It was known as Bikecentennial. 🧵

Finlands skogsmark tar knappt upp någon kol längre. Sveriges däremot har plötsligt ökat kraftigt. Kolupptaget i marken som Sverige registrerar i sin klimatrapportering till FN sticker ut i Europa. "Om siffran stämmer är den anmärkningsvärd". www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/e7...

Fascinerande studie med oroväckande resultat. "De nya resultaten tyder alltså på att det norra barrskogsbältets förmåga att växa, och därmed ta upp koldioxid, minskar i takt med att koldioxidhalten i atmosfären ökar." www.slu.se/nyheter/2026...

Central Europe has seen unprecedented forest disturbances recently, but how are forests recovering? We surveyed disturbance hotspots in 10 countries 3-5 years after disturbance, finding ample tree regeneration and no signs of forest loss (median 4750 stems/ha), but... 1/2 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

I'm so glad that I wrote this post, partly because it got the idea out of my head, but mainly because I was lucky to receive thoughtful replies from the real specialists in this field. Read the comments for the actual insights 😁

In case we thought that ecological disasters were a special talent of modernity, let’s talk about how the 13th-century peat trade of Norfolk made it permanently vulnerable to flooding, including 3 catastrophic floods just since 2013. #medievalstorytime

This is part of where your APCs go when you publish in MDPI and Frontiers. They use that money to buy more influence. Until funders, WoS, take meaningful action, they will continue to use muzzle velocity to overcome criticisms.

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/hegemon/...

In 1931, German engineer Herr Richter attached 12 solid-fuel rockets to a bicycle, which were ignited by a large battery. One report says he managed to reach 88 kmh before being thrown from the bike. He wasn't seriously injured, but that's the last anyone heard of his Raketenrad.

This article strikes a chord with me. With mobile laser scanners and GNSS receivers I can now collect as much data in a few days as used to take weeks. Great! Except that's less time spent in the forest really looking at the trees. 🧪🌏🌲🌳 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
