Our @bes-cascade.bsky.social survey of ecologists asked which socio-political changes might be most effective in the biodiversity & climate crises
Broad-scale transformative changes were most selected
Biodiversity or carbon credits, use of AI, & de-extinction were each selected in <1% of responses

Looking back at 2025 (through mid-December): a snapshot of the climate fingerprint on the UK’s unusual, at times excessive, heat.
The Climate Shift Index signal ramps up in spring, then flickers on and off in waves into early September. Notice how it shows up again throughout November.

Because activists were so successful in changing the narrative around fossil fuels

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

But climate & nature are political problems not technical ones, and a technocentric mindset seems to hold scientists back from engaging politically or changing behaviour
