Every library needs a cat. Every laboratory needs one, too - as a source of serendipity & chaos which lead to unexpected advances - The Scientific Meowthod! @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social @priestleycentre.bsky.social @egu-ere.bsky.social Even Nicolai Tesla had a cat & Socrates had a feline assistant.

Kamchatka tsunami waves apparently travel backwards in time. The quake struck offshore Kamchatka at about 11:24 Wednesday local time, but arrived in Hawaii the previous Tuesday evening there! And all because it crossed the International Date Line. @egu-ere.bsky.social @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social

Recent top 10 largest earthquake had 6 preshocks >6.6. The largest came last, between the others. Ther'll be more siginificant post-shocks until that section of the plate boundary stabilises. Images courtesy of USGS. #earthquake @egu.eu @egu-ere.bsky.social @bgs.ac.uk @earth-science.bsky.social

It has probably happened before, but solar electricity generation has just become the biggest source of electricity generation in the UK. Who would have thought it! @priestleycentre.bsky.social @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social @egu-ere.bsky.social @iisd.org

I was in Waterstones in Wimbledon in London last Friday. They have 3 times as much shelf space dedicated to Smart Thinking than to Military. Great progress, but let's DEMILITARISE bookshops totally. #Peace

Just noticed from grid.iamkate.com that the UK is only generating 1.3 GW of electricity from fossil fuels at this moment (09:35 GMT+1 29/05/25). Is it the lowest it has ever been? Please tell me if you know better. @priestleycentre.bsky.social @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social @egu-ere.bsky.social
