Proud of our work last week at @polskaakademianauk.bsky.social, developing #climate #adaptation strategies for Ukraine's agricultural sector for the country's accession to the EU in a few years.

Koonin spending an entire WSJ column criticizing @nationalacademies.org’s report for not being a review of his DOE climate contrarian report when (1) to my knowledge, the Academies have never reviewed a gov’t report without being asked (though such an independent review, or comparable, is necessary…

Opinion | Another Tale of Climate Change Bias

The government should stop funding the National Academies’ climate studies until they shed the political conformity.

In 20 Minuten geht’s los, das #Klimafest in Beeskow. Kommt vorbei! Ich bin zu Gast bei einer Podiumsdiskussion zu Herausforderungen und Innovationen in Landwirtschaft und Ernährung in der Region, zusammen mit Prof. Christian Dreyer von der @thwildau.bsky.social.

Was für ein toller erster Tag bei der Wissenwerte 2025 #WW25. Bekannte Gesichter gesehen, zum ersten Mal etwas über #Ozeankalkung gelernt, und von Patrick Cramer (Präsident der @maxplanck.de) eine wichtige Botschaft zur Gefahr der (zurück gehenden) Wissenschaftsfreiheit für die Demokratie gehört.

It is cool that Mosel ist much more than Riesling. However, moving the focus away from Riesling to other grape varieties is crucial. Climate Change increases average temperatures, leading to declining Riesling quality in the mid and long run.

American Association of Wine Economists AAWE @wineecon.bsky.social · 12d

Wine grape varieties on the Mosel, Germany (2024): With 62.3% of plantings, Riesling is king — but there's still an amazing diversity of grape varieties.

And of course, many thanks also to our panelists for making the trip to ZALF 🙏 For some it was a walk down the street 🚶‍♀️ for others it was a 2-hour journey 🚗

Toni Klemm @toniklemm.bsky.social · 12d

Months of meetings, phone calls, and emails went into preparing this event. Huge thanks to my fellow postdoc rep, Dr. Marlene Palka, our Ph.D. rep colleagues Clara Rohde, Tara Meghana Kaila and Daniel Edem Halolo, and our early-career research coordinators Dr. Sandra Kerbler and Lena Domke.

I'm glad so many of our peers followed our invitation and attended the panel discussion, participated in the breakout sessions with our panelists, and connected over tea and coffee. It was so rewarding to hear all the positive feedback we got.

Our goal was to shed light on #non-academic #careers to our #Ph.D. #students and #postdocs, which is so important. Many of us only see academia as the path forward, without understanding the slim chances of becoming a professor and w/o gaining the skills necessary to succeeding elsewhere.

Toni Klemm @toniklemm.bsky.social · 12d

Our panel experts worked in the private sector (saschareth.bsky.social), in academic publishing (atinsharma.bsky.social), in public service (Lena-Katharina Schmidt-Rudolph), and in the non-profit sector (Martin Müller-Butz).

Toni Klemm @toniklemm.bsky.social · 12d

This week, my colleague Clara Rohde and I interviewed a wonderful panel of experts at @zalf.bsky.social, all of whom have Ph.D.s but none of them work in #academia, about their work and the skills they need to succeed.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I'm so proud of @nationalacademies.org for having rapidly produced this comprehensive report which definitively demonstrates that CLIMATE CHANGE HARMS HUMAN HEALTH--which is the basis of the "Endangerment Finding" that EPA is now looking to eliminate.

1 - Become best friends with the technology transfer officer of your university (or the Leibniz Association, etc.)

2) Don't publish anything that you want to get a #patent for (neither on social media, in academic journals, or in a Donald Duck comic in the 1950s).

Great workshop yesterday on #technology #transfer, where we learned about starting a technology #startup and patenting ideas, products or services through playing a #serious #game.

Two main takeaways:

“‘Research like this forms an increasingly strong evidentiary basis for growing numbers of climate lawsuits filed in courts around the world,‘ said Rupert Stuart-Smith, deputy director of the Oxford Sustainable Law Program at the University of Oxford and lead author of the study.“ #climatelitigation

NEW: CO2 emissions traceable to the world's biggest fossil fuel firms (ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, Chevron, etc.) played a substantial role in driving dangerous & deadly heat waves, new research shows

Results are esp. relevant for #climatelitigation 🧑‍⚖️

World’s Largest Fossil Fuel and Cement Producers Are Responsible for About Half the Intensity of Recent Heat Waves, New Study Shows - Inside Climate News

Scientists say such source attribution could help power litigation aimed at holding the fossil fuel industry accountable for damages from heat waves and other extreme weather linked to climate change.

If the 2025 DoE report on cost change was a scientific paper, it would never make it through peer review. Very grateful to @ametsoc.org for summarizing all that is wrong with it.

Hey Folks...You may start seeing social media sites and a website for Climate.us

If you see it, follow and share. It is legit and has some amazing, credible people behind it trying to plug leaks in the climate science world. Trust me on this one. More is coming....
