The world fails to grapple with a 1.5°C *average* temperature increase compared to pre-industrial levels BUT Austria, for example, already has a 3.1°C increase. And it's accelerating. It may be too late already. But certainly if we don't grapple with #ClimateChange now, we are so fucked.

Here is another friend whom I often bump into on my riverside walks. She’s a very friendly tortoiseshell. I don’t know her name so I call her fluffycat.

The new #Römerbrücke, a covered #footbridge across the #River #Traun, connects #Wels in #UpperAustria with #Schleißheim.
Built in a #Roman style, it is also a #bicycle #bridge.
In Roman times Wels was called #Ovilava.

I am loving this book, #Pompeii, by @wmarybeard.bsky.social.
It was published some years ago, and I live in #Austria, but I managed to get a copy via the #Thalia bookstore.
#MaryBeard writes very well and she is one of my favourite historians. And I find #Roman history fascinating.

The #Römerbrücke is almost ready to open. It's a covered #footbridge in the Roman style, with extensive use of #wood. Perfect for a #cycle too!
It connects #Wels & #Schleißheim.
