Sur Twitter, ça fait 48h que des gros malins se servent de l’IA Grok pour dénuder les femmes.

En 2026, les journalistes et politiques auront la responsabilité de quitter Twitter et d’arrêter ces enfers d’IA générative. Pour la démocratie, pour le climat, les raisons ne manquent pas.

Finde es stets interessant, wie Ziele, die allen dienen, für die Autoindustrie immer wieder verhandelbar sind.

Stelle mir einen 100-Meter-Lauf vor, der am Ende zwei Kilometer dauert, weil die Ziellinie immer wieder nach hinten geschoben wird.

Und nur Jene erschöpft, die auf 100 Meter alles gaben.

Good News: Die @bpb.de zieht sich von X zurück!

Das gilt es zu feiern, auch angesichts großer Kritik von konservativer Seite an diesem Schritt.

Ein Teil der Kritik: Die fehlende Reichweite abseits von X. Und zumindest da können wir ja was machen:

#postdoc position!
Work with the #ISMIP7 ice-ocean Antarctic focus group to work on the recommendations on basal melt for ice-sheet models at @northumbriauni.bsky.social !
The #ISMIP7 ice-ocean Antarctic focus group is recruiting a 2.5 year postdoc on ice-shelf basal melting at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK. A great way to develop international collaborations and contribute to the improvement of sea level projections!

Die Bundesregierung hat auf der COP30 gerade ärmeren Ländern zugesagt, sie bei der Klimaanpassung, mit 60 Mio. € zu unterstützen.

Die gleiche Bundesregierung hat gerade der Flugindustrie Steuergeschenke in Höhe von 350 Mio. € zugesagt, um Fliegen noch billiger zu machen.

Prioritäten, so wichtig!

As someone who just published in one of these journals, it might seem hypocrit to repost. But this thread is to the point: OA fees in that journal are 10000$, we didn’t want to pay with taxpayers money. But even the other route had tremendous costs of 760€ per colored figure(!). What we do #ForTheCV
Over the past months (and at least 11 versions!), I was lucky to work with 11 amazing colleagues on a call to action to reform academic publishing.

Not another declaration, but an appeal to our powerful friends, research funders & institutions, to Stop the Drain of Scientific Publishing. 1/n

I've been gabbling excitedly about this for a lil' while, but... it's getting real!

🌍✨🔭 I'm developing a live science show - think SPECTACLE - with my brilliant colleague Charly.

It's gonna be great, and I'm super hyped 👀

Go give Nova a follow to stay in the loop 👉 @nova-earth-astro.bsky.social
Hey BSky! We're new.

Nova Astro & Earth is a new live science show about - you guessed it - astro and earth science.

Brought to you by astronomer Charlotte Fuller and climate scientist @drgilbz.bsky.social, we're coming soon to a theatre near you...

Watch this space* 🔭

Finally out! The outcome of a virtual workshop in Feb 2024 with modelers and observationalists to put together data and protocols to include historical changes in ice sheet/ice shelf discharge in CMIP models. Hopefully not too late for some CMIP7 runs!

Imagine, if you will, this headline with the word “Jews” substituted for the word “women”:

“Did Jews Ruin the Workplace?”

Disgusting, right?

Well, it’s just as disgusting that this is an acceptable question to debate about women.

The misogyny is staggering — and so normal.

Still.

Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves may be at risk of disappearing under high-emission scenarios by 2300, according to an analysis of the effect of ocean warming in Nature. This could result in up to 10 m of global sea-level rise. go.nature.com/47Ag4k1 🌊 🧪

A study conducted by IGE reveals that 60% of #Antarctic ice shelves could disappear by 2300 under high emissions scenarios.
With warming limited to +2°C, 63 out of 64 would remain.

Today's climate choices shape our future.

A few comments on our recent paper:
1- The high end is based on the SSP585 scenario which was the only one available until 2300 in CMIP6, but according to the reduced-complexity models used in IPCC-AR6, the SSP370 scenario should also cross the limit beyond which most ice shelves become non-viable.

And a little thread for the non-expert audience about the take-home messages of our #platformist team effort that is out in @nature.com today!

We explore the viability limits of #Antarctic ice shelves, the floating margins of the ice sheet.

Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves - Nature
The viability of Antarctic ice shelves under low rates and high rates of global warming is modelled to estimate when it will become unfeasible for the ice shelves to maintain their present-day shape.

We examine if, when, and why #Antarctic #ice shelves will no longer be viable, at the latest, due to changes in #atmosphere and #ocean conditions.
