Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong
For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

My climate bubble time line is scary. Two posts next to each other.
It is Feb 11 and fire emissions are higher than all annual totals before.
It is Feb 11 and fire emissions are higher than all annual totals before.
Analysis of #CopernicusAtmosphere fire emissions data clearly highlights the extreme nature of the recent devastating fires in Argentina/Chile with total estimated emissions for 2026 so far (1 Jan-10 Feb) exceeding all annual totals since 2003 for Chubut province🇦🇷 & most years for Biobío province🇨🇱

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

We had a great discussion with leadership. Our cocoa and coffee work is often multidisciplinary and is a great way of avoiding thematic silos.

🌱 What does it mean for farms and landscapes to truly thrive? It means applying practical, place‑based science to restore soils, diversify production, and boost climate resilience. We shared this with CGIAR representatives during Day 2 at our Palmira campus 🌾🌳🐄.

Is the Greenland threat an attempt to break up NATO? Trump tried to leave NATO but was stopped. Is he now trying to get kicked out, then exploiting EU internal divisions to split Europe up between Russia and U.S. along cold war borders?
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Yeah, no shit. In Germany, universities refuse to teach climate change except in specific degree programs because somehow it is still seen as a biophysical issue, not a social one.

"when asked “what proportion of climate scientists think that global warming is caused mostly by human activities?” - only 30% of middle-school & 45% of high-school science teachers selected the correct option of “81 to 100%."

Adaptation to climate change was meant to be the easy part: As easy as 1,2,3 - what will the climate be? what are the risks? do something to reduce the risk!
It is going to rain? Put on a coat and keep enjoying life!
Adaptation increasingly turns out to be much harder than emissions reduction!

Now reading - the conventional definition of adaptation as the process adjustment often ignores ambiguity from scales, justice, socio political realities and knowledge pluralisms.
Finally, some food for thought how we move away from a technocratic approach wich disregards people's needs.
