BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

1/ I'm constantly amazed at the naivety of so much of conservation science (& other mission-driven disciplines)

As if all we have to do is generate the evidence and society's leaders will use it to do what's needed

As if there's no-one trying to make sure that doesn't happen

We mapped out the migrations of over 10K ind ⚫-tailed godwits (!) to characterize connectivity between sites in Europe and Africa.
We compiled tracking data, ring recoveries and resightings: >400K records in total! (1/5)

Bye X 👋🏼

Dutch science foundation NWO drops X.

Reason: “public discourse on X is increasingly characterized by the spread of misinformation and hate speech”

NWO will use their website, newsletter and LinkedIn for announcements.

arkrewilding.nl/nieuws/2025/... Het werk van ARK op de Noordzee heeft alleen zin als er voldoende rust en ruimte is. Daarom eist ARK, met St Doggerland, dat de overheid zich aan haar eigen regels gaat houden: het Nederlandse deel van de Doggersbank moet op slot voor sleepnetvisserij.
Doggerland en ARK stappen naar de rechter voor rust en ruimte op de Doggersbank
Doggerland en ARK stappen naar de rechter voor bescherming van de Doggersbank: een natuurgebied in de Noordzee. Bodemrust is essentieel voor de natuur daar.

True to its long history of exploitation and obfuscation, Meta makes it as hard as possible to delete your Facebook account. It keeps changing the procedure. In some cases it directs you to the wrong tabs. But this video by Gauging Gadgets provides a simple guide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZIJ...

De referentie naar het stikstof kaartje bedoelden de schrijvers denk ik niet als 'up to date info'. Ze gebruikten het als illustratie van hoe duidelijke ruimtelijke keuzen en afwegingen 'besmet' zijn verklaard in het publiek debat, ondergesneeuwd onder zaken als plattelandsidentiteit

Per definitie gaat discussie over verdeling van schaarse ruimte over alles wat ruimte in neemt, dus ook over luchtvaart.

Prima analyse van @bosdaan.bsky.social en Wouter Ubink: het gaat over de schaarse ruimte in Nederland, waardoor echte langetermijn keuzes steeds sneuvelen in debatten die de politiek vooral langs lijnen van economie en identiteit wil voeren

Sounds like what one would write now, but from Chaplin's famous monologue in his 1940 film The Great Dictator. Quoted in Paolo Nutini's song Iron Sky
