"The doubling of the energy imbalance has come as a shock, because the sophisticated climate models we use largely didn’t predict such a large and rapid change.

Typically, the models forecast less than half of the change we’re seeing in the real world"

#ClimateEmergency
Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years
Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

Die #FUBerlin finanziert sich v.a. durch Landes- und Drittmittel - viele davon sind langfristig gebunden:
Gehälter, Mieten, Forschung. Die Kürzung um 37 Mio. € trifft die Uni daher schwer. Kurzfristig sparen? Kaum möglich.

Study (N=815) finds domestic violence starts w/ coercive control over who a partner can see, what they wear, where they can go or questioning the partner's sanity. On average, physical abuse doesn't start until after marriage or moving into together.

400 people w/ doctorates read the same research abstract where the lead authors name was either male or female. Participants felt the discovery in the abstract was more important when the author was male & spent more time reading it(114s for male authored; 98s female). www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Illegal gold mining in the Amazon is poisoning rivers, wildlife, and Indigenous communities.

In 2024, the price of gold rose by 44%. Many central banks are declaring their intent to stock up on gold reserves.
