No, we have not lost two thirds of all species in the last 60 years.

I see this (or variations of) this claim all the time. It's (luckily!) a bad misunderstanding of the Living Planet Index (LPI) 👇

The #WEF global risk support for 2023: Climate Change & Biodiversity #1-#3 for in 10 years but Biodiversity doesn't make the Top10 for in 2 years.

Biodiversity is super important but always only in the future.

This is dangerous thinking.

3 decades (!) of biodiversity change captured by #airborne #eDNA 🌬️🧬

The best evidence of the power of airborne eDNA to date, long time-series, very thorough analysis.

Per Stenberg (@umeauniversity) got funding for this in 2017 (!). So glad to see it out 👏👏👏

"Das "Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht" wird von einer Doppelspitze geführt"

Sahra W. und S. Wagenknecht?

I am really excited and unduly proud that the new Multifunctionality metric and framework we propose with @jebyrnes.bsky.social and Robert Bagchi was taken up and developed upon by Anne Chao herself 😊 (and a great cast of co-authors)

I re-read @xkcd.com "what if" (2014) and came across this doodle which illustrated a task that is easy for humans but hard for computers (describe what happened in this scene?)

I am happy to report that it is _still_ difficult for computers 😁

Google needs to better filter its autogenerated responses.

I new the biofuel debate but I had no idea of the scale of it 😦

tl;dr: the US produces Biofuel on an area equivalent to the *surface of the UK*, covering 10% of the fuel demand.

If photovoltaik was insatlled on 1/12th of that area, it could power an all-electric US Car fleet 😲

this is a bloody great name for a climate report
