Important point by @susannahfisher.bsky.social in her new book:

"If I had been writing this book a few years ago I might have talked more about the highest-emission scenarios and painted a picture of an apocalyptic desert world of 4C or 5C.. The good news is, that is now not very likely" #optimism

Interesting research - the UK public underestimate of the percentage of animals which are factory farmed. The average estimate for all animals was 58%. While the reality is over 90%.

The recent news of signs of life on a distant planet made me wonder:

What would beings from outer space think if they saw this data about earth? 🤔

#natureloss #biodiversity #wildlife #earthday #animals

Absolutely LOVE this and hope #bloomscrolling becomes a thing

The trouble is this doesn't just impact on the US. This data is used around the world to track the path of cyclones which lead to major loss of life - not just for US citizens.

Inspiring words by Rachel Kyte this evening at the memorial lecture for my former boss Pete Betts:

"At the heart of the Paris Agreement was the commitment to leave no-one behind - but who are we leaving behind 10 years on?"

By February 2025, countries are expected to submit a new version of #NDCs to the @UNFCCC - a critical milestone for climate action.

This analysis by FELD/FOLU shows that few NDCs from #G20 countries currently contain important priorities on the ~30%of global emissions from #food.

Saddening to read this recent news that #deforestation is increasing, despite pledge to stop losses by 2030 @Bloomberg

Wonder what 2025 will bring... can the world change course?
