An ongoing eruption at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano unleashed spectacular lava fountains that towered an astonishing 1,300 feet into the air — as high as New York's Empire State Building.
Ever tried walking your city and thought: ‘Where can I even sit down?’
@heigit.org's #hiWalk just added a feature that maps benches + another one for water fountains.
Good for the elderly, good for everyone. Because #walkable cities = #livable cities

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration
Curious about Neukölln's general bikeability as assessed by #hiBike? I'm happy to share the respective calculation with you: climate-action.heigit.org/webapp/dashb...

#WorldCarFreeDay is a reminder to reimagine #mobility

The hiBike assessment tool (in the Climate Action Navigator) measures urban #cycling infrastructure & helps cities target improvements.

Special thanks goes out to @radlobby.at - for working with us, but especially for lobbying for bikeable cities.
Wanna improve #OpenStreetMap #OSM? At climate-action.heigit.org/webapp/dashb... you can see the difference great OSM data availability can make. Cudos to @inesmuc.bsky.social for mapping!

Geht's noch?

Die Pressefreiheit ist an allen Ecken und Enden in Gefahr. Kolleg*innen werden massiv beleidigt, eingeschüchtert und körperlich angegriffen. Ihnen wird Folter, Vergewaltigung und Mord angedroht. Demos sind seit Jahren Gefahrenzonen. (1/5)

Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung.
Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll.

Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.
Klimaschutz: Wie die Regierung den KTF zweckentfremdet
Deutschland droht die Klimaziele zu verfehlen. Doch statt mehr Klimaschutz zu machen, will sie aus dem gleichen Topf CO₂-Zertifikate kaufen.

Darren Beattie, fired from the Trump White House in 2018 after it was revealed he attended a white supremacist conference, has just been appointed acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, according to the State Department.

In an effort to shrink the federal government, President Trump and congressional Republicans have taken steps that are diluting the country’s ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather events, disaster experts say.
Trump Is Gutting Weather Science and Reducing Disaster Response
As a warming planet delivers more extreme weather, experts warn that the Trump administration is dismantling the government’s disaster capabilities.

"Wenn die Lösung für illegale Arbeit darin besteht, reiche Landwirte zu Pförtnern zu machen, die entscheiden, wer abgeschoben wird oder nicht ... dann haben Sie die Sklaverei nicht abgeschafft. Sie haben sie privatisiert."

Ernte verrottet auf dem Feld: Trump plant Sklaverei 2.0 für Landwirte

Awful. More horrible science news

"The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."
Screenshot from NSIDC that says: "Dear Colleague:

The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing and delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025. The SSMIS data are used as input for the following NSIDC DAAC-produced data sets, which will therefore stop processing no later than 30 June 2025:"
Big thanks to everyone who joined the CAN launch event last week!
