Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

NEW: An estimated 7% of the entire population of the critically-endangered Tapanuli Orangutan were killed in a single weather event, according to research led by Borneo Futures with @frediotto.bsky.social as an author. An estimated 58 Orangutans were killed by landslides during Cyclone Senyar (1/4)
NEW: Players and fans face increased heat danger at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, since USA '94. Our results show that from Miami to Kansas City, climate change is increasing the risk of playing the World Cup in much of the northern hemisphere during summer. (1/2)

A heat dome in north America is producing record-shattering March temperatures, made even more deadly by human-caused warming. A super-rapid study from @wwattribution.bsky.social shows the risk of temperatures as high as these is now four times what it was just a decade ago 😱
World Weather AttributionRAPID ANALYSIS: It would be ‘virtually impossible’ for the record-breaking March heat currently scorching the U.S. West to occur without climate change. We are seeing summer-like temperatures arrive exceptionally early from the Pacific to the Rockies this week. 🧵1/4
This new video from @climateadam.bsky.social is even more brilliant than usual - insightful and hilarious 🧐🤣❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=py0X...

I might have failed at my assignment from @fisherdanar.bsky.social to say what makes me hopeful about climate, but I think @frediotto.bsky.social and her team's work that would enable us to hold polluters responsible should be a source of hope. Tune in to Episode 4 of the #COPOut Podcast tomorrow!
Many congratulations to the amazing @frediotto.bsky.social for receiving the Hans Oeschger Medal! This career award from the @egu.eu Climate Division underlines the ground-breaking research Fredi did on many fronts, most notably on near-realtime extreme event attribution @wwattribution.bsky.social
Prof Friederike OttoI've got a medal! And not just any, but the Hans Oeschger Medal from the EGU, for outstanding contributions to research on climatic changes. www.egu.eu/news/1551/eg...
Baby pigeon mystery. My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
Vorschieben, Frauen & Mädchen schützen zu wollen, als würde sexualisierte Gewalt vor allem von Migranten ausgehen, ist so hanebüchen wie perfide. Es ist rassistisch und misogyn zugleich - und eine klassische Erzählung von Rechtsextremen, die im Übrigen nicht auf "Schutz", sondern Besitzanspruch fußt
The sharp rise in hot days since the 2015 Paris climate accord, + alarming future risks lead Science in Action this week with @wwattribution.bsky.social's @frediotto.bsky.social. Also the Int'l Drought Expt's Mendy Smith on devastating multiyear droughts on grasslands. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...
Terrible headline on a good article. It’s the world’s taste for MEAT that’s fuelling Amazon destruction. The soya is cattle feed.
Out now: our new study shows that climate change caused nearly 1,700 heat-related deaths in Zürich over 50 years. We assessed the effects of changing vulnerability to heat, heat-mortality within and outside of heatwaves, and the contribution of individual companies' emissions to heat deaths.
