The ocean is in a way the final victim of multiple planetary crises - nutrient pollution, excess heat, rising CO₂. This has to be turned around. The ocean will ultimately determine whether we secure a livable future for humanity. weforum.org/videos/earth-pla…

Wetter- und Klimaextreme wie Dürren und #Überschwemmungen in #Europa hängen mit Verschiebungen des Jetstreams über dem Atlantik zusammen. Das zeigt eine Rekonstruktion des #Jetstreams für die letzten 600 Jahre durch Forschende der #unibern: sohub.io/iimv.

The Federal Council has agreed that Switzerland should sign the @UN’s Agreement on Marine Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, which aims to protect marine life. Now the Swiss Parliament must decide. Press release in DE/FR/IT: admin.ch/gov/de/start/dokume… @UVEK #BBNJ

Absolutely stunning!
Unter Beteiligung der #unibern haben Forschende in der #Antarktis das älteste Eis der Erde erbohrt. Die Analyse dieses Eises soll ihnen dabei helfen, ein Rätsel um den Wechsel von Warm- und Kaltzeiten zu lösen: sohub.io/rybr. @OeschgerCentre @OldestIce #Klima

🚨Paper alert: The adaptive emission reduction approach was used to simulate 1.5°C & 2°C temperature stabilization. Key findings: remaining carbon budgets 60% larger than in IPCC AR6, budgets evolve over time, positive emissions under stabilized warming esd.copernicus.org/articles/…

More than 230 experts from over 70 countries are in Kuala Lumpur this week for the #IPCC Scoping Meeting to draft the outlines of the three Working Group contributions to the IPCC's seventh report assessing the science related to #climatechange.

How do we define marine heatwaves? What are the different types, and how do they evolve? What are the impacts and what's in store for the future? Read our new article @CommsEarth A global overview of marine heatwaves: nature.com/articles/s43247-0…
