When you’re out and one of these hail stones that fell in Italy today hits you or your child on the head then you’ll wish you’d paid attention and realized that recycling just isn’t enough. No one can say they weren’t warned: youtu.be/2Jq23mSDh9U #JustStopOil

With more and more of those incredibly annoying @JustStop_Oil #climate protesters being locked up, as you can see, the traffic is now flowing freely
Great time here at ECSS with the Birmingham crew. ..,. Good research presentations, energy and perspectives. Thank you all.

New study using machine learning to classify food processing finds that over 73% of the US food supply is ultraprocessed. It just keeps getting higher. We are headed towards nearly all of our food being ultraprocessed.

Such a no brainer for planetary health; allow indigenous perspectives their rightful place.

Great summary of heat health issues across human populations
Excited to share our comment piece on human behaviour & heatwaves in @NatureHumBehav. Thanks to Zac Schlader (@EnviroPhys), @ollie_jay13 (@HeatHealth_USYD) & @cbr_heartdoc (@ANUMedSchool) for valuable input! Read here: nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Today is one of those days when the suffering of millions that is happening right now makes it very difficult to talk in any reasonable way about the suffering to come, even if that future suffering will be counted in billions and encompass all living breathing beings.
Took longer for these old eyes to spot the leopard than should have, without zooming. It's definitely there if that's what you wonder.

Apologies for retweeting that one about shipping and whale movements; maybe some fact checking needed there.
James David Cotter retweeted
Look at how much a single endangered whale has to negotiate just to eat. If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas.
Nature is amazing. Protect it.

Well worth a moment to watch, pause and reflect. Our time is brief but so valuable.
This is what the world will look like over the next 100 years...if we fail to act. We have no time for business as usual.
