I'm ignoring the Trolls, I want to keep Bluesky algorithms very positive so the less interactive we are with Grumpy Sods the better. Just cracking on living my life in the kindest way I can.

"So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will. Standing up against those simplifying assumptions is fundamentally a humanist thing to do." From a recent interview I did... here's the rest: humanists.uk/2026/03/06/h...

2️⃣ Professor @kevinclimate.bsky.social: we're using up the carbon budget for staying under 2°C at 0.7% every single month, with a small but very real risk we could reach a catastrophic 4°C by 2100. There are huge benefits for the majority if we address climate change. www.nebriefing.org/take-action

More than a year ago researchers from @hifmb.de and @icbm-uol.bsky.social started to write about different perspectives on marine biodiversity change from natural and social science perspectives. This morphed into a review paper that was published online today link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🧪

“The choice is between deep, rapid fair decarbonisation of modern society, and an organised-ish technical and social revolution; or ongoing rhetoric and delay as temperatures [rise]. And then we’ll have a revolutionary style change that will be both chaotic and violent.” @kevinclimate.bsky.social

Thermal Performance Curves translate temperature into fitness. Heinrichs and colleagues show how they depend upon the a plankton's resource environment. With high Nitrogen and Light, their thermal breadth and maxima peak. Imbalances—not simultaneous shortfall—lead to biggest performance declines.
Our new study: light and nutrients interactively shape the thermal traits of phytoplankton -> Interactions matter! #phytoplankton #light #nutrients #temperature #traits Led by @alheinrichs.bsky.social and in cooperation with Miriam Gerhard #bestteam doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Also "This small plot of land (Kinder Scout) in the Peak District provides a prism through which we can track changes in wider social, political and race relations in Britain manifested in the shared act of walking in the countryside." blog.geographydirections.com/2025/07/14/t...
Dreadful that the US has interest camps such as Alligator Auchswitz. Its a better descriptor and should be its actual moniker

1. One thing you need to realise about the British Establishment is that it uses clowns to express its deepest desires. People like Rod Liddle offer a kind of deniability - "lighten up, he's just having a laugh". But they deliver a closer representation of its truths than any sober editorial.
Meanwhile The Spectator is condoning the bombing of Brighton and Glastonbury I'm sure it will be a proscribed organisation any minute now...

We know how to save lives and make our city safer for everyone, especially children, older and disabled people, to walk, cycle and catch the bus. Rolling out 20mph speed limits everywhere people are using pavements and need to cross the road makes sense.
New research provides conclusive proof that 20mph in London is saving lives. 14 yrs of analysis at 150+ sites - reviewed by experts - shows: ❤️40% fewer deaths (vs 7% drop on roads where no changes were made) ❤️75% fewer children killed & 50% fewer kids hurt And slower speeds deliver so much more:

Newspapers & social media are a free4all but our broadcast media does have rules during elections to ensure plurality across the parties based on SEATS. We want those rules extended to ensure fair coverage at ALL times to stop propaganda. If you agree sign here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Aha! Pleased to have found this, please spread the word,100K = parliamentary debate. Everyone is sick of being deafened by Fascists, let's hear it for the other VERY SUCCESSFUL Parties.
ITV News at 10 - Reform are plugged again for the umpteenth time since May 1st as having ‘won’ English local elections. Yet Lib Dems & Greens who also had spectacular results don’t get a plug/never get a plug. WHY do we allow these one sided narratives?Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
