Understanding #Transformation pathways complying with climate targets requires model-based insights. Herein, we review studies modeling industry in low energy & material demand futures and find large mitigation potentials, but also crucial limitations of existing models. doi.org/10.1146/annu...

I believe that scholars and practitioners in the biodiversity / ecosystem service community need to read this very well-researched and inspiring paper - The Nature of Planetary Habitability.

Julia Nordblad @julianordblad.bsky.social · Mar 13
My article is out! On how ‘ecosystem services’ went from a word for those aspects of nature that economics cannot express to a word for nature's economic value, and how concerns for planetary habitability disappeared from the environmentalist vocabulary.

The Nature of Planetary Habitability: A Conceptual History of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services | Environmental History
Abstract This essay traces the conceptual history of biodiversity and ecosystem services from the late 1970s to the early 2000s. In contrast to recent historical studies that have interpreted biodiver...

Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance - Nature
A revised ‘Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Saw a patient in the ER that was struck by a car while riding their bicycle. They noted that they were not intending to make a police report because the driver had stopped and been nice. Mutual kindness is heartwarming, but there are reasons why making an official report is important.

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

A small, carefully scaled geoengineering program could compensate for the loss of cooling as we eliminate sulfur pollution.

To blame the shift to renewables or the combustion engine ban for Germany’s economic malaise confuses cause and effect.
It is the costly and unnecessary over-reliance on fossil fuels and the insistence on combustion engines which no longer sell in China that deserve a closer look. #technologieoffen

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).
