The market share of the top critical mineral refining nations rose to 86% in 2024, with almost all growth coming from the single top supplier: Indonesia for nickel, and China for all other minerals - @iea.org www.iea.org/news/diversi...

Excited to be in Leipzig for #TUMI2025 and the #ITFSummit, where I’ve been invited to speak at the opening research session on a study recently published with colleagues assessing #health & #equity in urban mobility plans in 230 cities across Europe⤵

Imposter syndrome is common in academia because we’re learning new things all the time. If we believed we already knew everything, what would be the point? Feelings of imposterism simply reflect that we are pushing ourselves to grow 💪 blogs.unimelb.edu.au/bioscience-e... #growthmindset

Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s

- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

Good news from Haringey Council! 🚴‍♀️

Thanks to Audrey de Nazelle, Ahmadreza Imani,
Hannah Murdock (CEP), and Jeff Wu (Civil and Environmental Engineering), 3 Low Traffic Neighbourhoods are now permanent!

Data shows reduced traffic & no major change in NO2 levels

A new perspective in Nature Climate Change argues that the discourse around climate tipping points risks "oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action." www.nature.com/artic...
‘Tipping points’ confuse and can distract from urgent climate action | Nature Climate Change
Tipping points have gained substantial traction in climate change discourses. Here we critique the ‘tipping point’ framing for oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action. Multiple social scientific frameworks suggest that the deep uncertainty and perceived abstractness of climate tipping points render them ineffective for triggering action and setting governance goals. The framing also promotes confusion between temperature-based policy benchmarks and properties of the climate system. In both natural and human systems, we advocate for clearer, more specific language to describe the phenomena labelled as tipping points and for critical evaluation of whether, how and why different framings can support scientific understanding and climate risk management. The tipping points framing is widely used in climate discussions but receives mixed feedback. This Perspective critiques it for oversimplifying the complexities of natural and social systems and failing to drive effective action, and offers recommendations for future improvements.

An accurate perspective I've long supported, as have most all climate scientists. In climate normal speak, the new normal is constantly changing until we get to net zero emissions, & then it'll ~stabilize. However, there is a reason to worry this won't be the case. See thread...
On The Climate Brink: Stop emissions, stop warming: A climate reality check

This is a crucial point because it determines how much warming is already "locked in" and effectively unavoidable.

The answer is very little warming is locked in.

Also, this is our 100th post!

Has global warming accelerated in recent decades? If we look at the rate of warming between 1970 and 2008 and extend it through present, we see that almost all years since 2015 are above the previous trend.

A slowdown in U.S. climate action isn't just about more costly climate extremes: "if the U.S. reduces its investment in low-carbon technologies, it could lose out in a global marketplace that is trying to cut emissions."

I was just taking a peek at the ocean heat content in the Caribbean, and on December 2, it is STILL higher than it would normally be at the peak two months ago. 🌊🥵
