- Important new @annualreviews.bsky.social review on #AMOC collapse. 🌊⚠️ 🔗 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... Here are 8 key takeaways from Dijkstra & van Westen (2026) on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its risks. 👇🧵
- Speaker Spotlight: Rachel Donald How can we make sense of a world shaped by interlocking crises? Where in the world can we find stories and places already modeling the changes we need? We're excited to have @racheldonald.bsky.social help us tackle these questions! ⏳ Apply until Jan 26: acscc.nl
- Speaker Spotlight: Kristian Nielsen How do individual behavior change & broader systems change interact? How can behavioral science realize its full potential to address climate change? We're excited to have @kristiansn89.bsky.social help us tackle these questions! ⏳ Apply until Jan 26: acscc.nl
- Speaker Spotlight: Julia Steinberger How can societies ensure decent living for all while staying within planetary boundaries? We are excited to have @jksteinberger.bsky.social as an ACSCC keynote speaker to address this critical question. ⏳ Apply until Jan 26 at acscc.nl
- Just a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece. The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C. That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random. 🧵

- On December 14th, I sat across from 142 New Yorkers as they shared their concerns, their dreams, the leadership they long for from City Hall. Our campaign was built around listening to the people of New York, and we will govern in the same way. Tomorrow, we get to work. youtu.be/xj89tYvwr6k
- What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚 We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support. Let me tell you all about it🧵👇

- My latest: with @fdabl.bsky.social and JW Bolderdijk we argue that environmental psychology needs formal theory to make progress and increase real-world impact doi.org/10.1016/j.co... Part of special issue Behavioral Science for Climate Change by @madalina.bsky.social & @neurograce.bsky.social
- Scientists are becoming more visible in public climate debates, but the effects of this engagement are far from straightforward. We often hear strong claims about credibility and trust, yet what does the evidence say? Our new preprint explores this osf.io/preprints/ps... Thread 1/n
- ⚠️ When “technology will save us” becomes a climate risk! A new paper from great colleagues takes a careful look at techno-optimism — the belief that technology will largely solve climate change — and what it means for real-world climate action. (1/4)👇 osf.io/preprints/ps...

- I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT
- I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice. Long 🧵😊

- It's the 'Scientists Responsibility Summit' today. Here's a live thread with some take aways from each talk... 🧵
- Tomorrow: Scientists Responsibility Summit! What is the appropriate stance of scientists in the polycrisis? Let's develop practical paths for a transformative role of academia. 🏛️Attend in-person at HU Berlin: blogs.fu-berlin.de/scientistsre... 💻 Streaming (Webex): tinyurl.com/nh5kpt4e

- 10/ The plenary discussion was wide ranging, a theme that came up repeatedly was the barriers that academics can face when partaking in advocacy & civil society organizations & how these can be overcome. A topic that is explored in detail by @fdabl.bsky.social et al www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- Last week I was at the BPS Social Psych Conference @bps-social-psych.bsky.social in Oxford @ox.ac.uk The theme was Beyond Tribalism—bringing different traditions together organised by @shelleymckeown.bsky.social @swedishprotests.bsky.social @nascherme.bsky.social Some reflections in a thread 👇

- Social movements play an essential role pushing for action on climate and nature, and it’s now widely recognised that support from scientists can make them more effective But not everyone can take to the streets or risk arrest That’s ok – there’s lots we can do in other ways 🧵1/

- 🚨 How do exposure to extreme weather events and the subjective attribution of these events to climate change relate to climate policy support across the world? 🔥🌎 Find out more in our OA article published in Nature Climate Change 👇 1/7 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

View full threadHowever, population-level exposure to most events was unrelated to climate policy support. Interestingly, and in line with previous studies, only population-level exposure to wildfires was positively related to climate policy support. 4/7
- Note: Our data does not allow us to make conclusions about individual-level exposure, i.e., we don't know whether respondents were directly affected. A recent study found pos. relationships between individual-level exposure and climate risk perceptions osf.io/preprints/ps... @fdabl.bsky.social 5/7

- This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
