So entsetzlich das Abtauen der polaren Eiskappen ist, so phantastisch sind die Entdeckungen, die nun auftau(ch)en.
Allerdings geschieht der Eis-Rückzug derzeit so schnell, dass ArchäologInnen kaum mit der Sicherung der Funde nachkommen

SOOOOO 🥁

Today the European Commission is releasing its action plan for high speed rail

Everyone excited?

No, me neither. Sorry. I fear it's going to be a load of nice words, and no way to make anything happen...

Der Oktober verlief heuer unterdurchschnittlich warm.
damit haben wir heuer bisher 7 warme Monate und 3 unterkühlte. In Summe liegt das heurige Jahr bisher um genau +1 Grad über dem Schnitt der aktuellen Klimanormalperiode (1991-2020).

New study in Nature by Lin et al shows how the sea-level rise from the melting Ice Age ice (a total of 120 meters rise) ended thousands of years ago.
Until our fossil fuel use started a new phase of rising seas.
Graph shows the global mean rate of sea level rise.

Really important paper led by my @iiasa.ac.at colleague Alex Nauels www.nature.com/articles/s41...
“The difference between decisive climate action today and continued high emissions is not just measured in degrees of warming but also in meters of sea-level rise” 👏👏👏
Multi-century global and regional sea-level rise commitments from cumulative greenhouse gas emissions in the coming decades - Nature Climate Change
It is important to understand how much long-term sea-level rise is already committed due to historical and near-term emissions. Here the authors use a modelling framework to show how decisions on glob...

Das sind übrigens ziemlich gute Ratschläge generell bei Infektionskrankheiten:

Auskurieren, möglichst niemanden anstecken, besondere Rücksicht auf besonders Gefährdete
Weil leider die meisten darauf keine Rücksicht nehmen, insbesondere in Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen, haben Arbeitgeber und alle anderen einen Nachteil und die Krankenkassen belasten die Kosten auch, die dann an sie Versicherten in Form von Kostensteigerungen deutlich werden 🤷🏼‍♀️

Since the US was the only country doing this at scale and noone else will even attempt to step in, the next decades will be interesting.

Emerging diseases need to be lucky only once. We have to be lucky all the time.

von Oktober 2024 bis September 2025 liegt die Durchschnittstemperatur damit um 1,51 Grad Celsius höher als in der vorindustriellen Zeit – und damit über dem wichtigen 1,5-Grad-Limit, bei dem die Weltgemeinschaft die Erderwärmung eigentlich stoppen will.
