Still my favourite "What is GIS" video explainer. 60 seconds long, great animation and interesting narrative. Perfect as a class starter or refresher #geographyteacher #GIS

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

@transactualuk.bsky.social have released a new report about the harm caused by the Supreme Court misjudgement & the EHRC's interpretation of it.
It shows how the ruling & interpretation is also harming cis women. Those it was supposed to "protect".

Disasters are not natural. Geography doesn’t make anyone a prisoner. Natural processes and the natural shape of our land and seas have been made fraught by the coloniality of the human race, and weaponised by those with power.

Annotating a long 3+ day loop of #Hurricane #Melissa from Kingston, #Jamaica radar.
2️⃣ periods appear where an eyewall replacement cycle, #ERC, looked underway. In both cases, inner eyewall stayed intact & outer bands merged, resulting in a larger eye & strengthening after.
A remarkable evolution 🌀

Confirmed ❤️
despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

I guess I can’t do worse than intro myself through my latest video, recorded and posted today, reflecting on how I’m feeling as a queer [climate] science communicator. Found it strangely cathartic, and if you’re involved in #SciComm yourself, I hope it acts as a pick-me-up ❤️

Unscripted and unedited, I lay my thoughts and feelings bare on current affairs. The re-election of Trump, effective concession that we'll miss 1.5C climate target, increasing hostility to the science community, step-up in anti-trans actions and rhetoric.. It's all overwhelming.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Of all the regular climate disaster dreads—and there are far too many—the worst for me are when they loom for Haiti or Pakistan. Because my god, those folks have suffered.
Everything just kind of stops inside me when I look at images like this.

Hurricane Melissa has just hit a new peak intensity of 145 MPH, sitting just 115 miles SSW of Kingston. The NHC forecasts it intensifying to Cat 5 status. When it hits Jamaica on Tuesday it could cause long-term damage to basic infrastructure.
