Over the past two years, the land carbon sink appears to have weakened dramatically, driving the largest one year jump in atmospheric CO2 on record in 2024. Is this the end of the land carbon sink? I asked around for @newscientist.com.
One of Earth’s most vital carbon sinks is faltering. Can we save it?
For decades, forest, grasslands and other land ecosystems have collectively absorbed up to a third of the carbon dioxide we emit each year - but this climate buffer may be collapsing far sooner than a...

Yesterday we celebrated the PhD defense of @xinyu66.bsky.social at the Universität Innsbruck 🎓🎉

It was such a pleasure to watch Xin discuss with the evaluators Nadine Ruehr and Georg Wohlfahrt, showing his passion, curiosity and in-depth knowledge on the topic.

Congrats Dr. Yu!!!

She then accompanied me *all the way* through security checks while explaining to people I needed support, so that I managed to not miss my flight for less than a minute. Thanks to her awareness and kindness, I avoided a full meltdown in an unknown place and am safely heading home 🥲

I was having a panic attack at London Paddington due to a series of train cancellations and delays that were going to make me miss my flight. A super kind and experienced security officer took me by the hand, helped me through breathing exercises to calm down, when no one else seemed to care.

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time
Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time
Study shows how individual fossil fuel companies are making previously impossible heatwaves happen and could have to pay compensation Carbon emissions from the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies have been directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for the first time, according to a new analysis. The research has been hailed as a “leap forward” in the legal battle to hold big oil accountable for the damages being caused by the climate crisis. The research found that the emissions from any one of the 14 biggest companies were by themselves enough to cause more than 50 heatwaves that would otherwise have been virtually impossible. The study shows, in effect, that those emissions caused the heatwaves. Continue reading...
