30 scientists from @ScientistRebellion have joined the approximately 500 people currently occupying the #airport in #Schiphol, #Netherlands, blocking 11 private jets from leaving the ground.

In just one hour, a single private jet can emit two tonnes of #CO2, approx. what an average human emits in half a year.

To secure a livable future, we must shift into emergency mode. Tax frequent flyers and ban private jets! #Climate #activism #climateaction #science #PrivateJets #carbon #cop27

Impressive new study by Kate Laskowski, Max Wolf and colleagues:

Genetically identical fish from mothers reared in near-identical environments show reliable behavioural differences from day 1 after birth, stable and increasing over 10 weeks in near-identical environments.

Supporting that there is a variance component in behavioural development beyond genes and environment (stochasticity / chance / noise) that we will never be able to explain. Certainly not in humans.

The emergence and development of behavioral individuality in clonal fish - Nature Communications

You’re unique just like everyone else. But when does such individuality appear? Laskowski et al. find that clonal fish show unique behavioral patterns on their first day of life, and these patterns predict their behavior up to at least 10 weeks later.

Der Spiegel schreibt: „Die »Süddeutsche Zeitung« berichtete unter Berufung auf einen internen Vermerk der Feuerwehr, der Stau habe nach Einschätzung der behandelnden Notärztin keine Auswirkungen auf die Rettung der verunglückten Radfahrerin gehabt. Demnach habe die Notärztin die Frau ungehindert versorgen können. Zudem habe die Medizinerin entschieden, dass der Betonmischer nicht angehoben werden solle.“ Facts beat opinion. https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/berlin-radfahrerin-nach-unfall-mit-betonmischer-gestorben-a-8e7d69db-8e31-494a-8d8c-dc7bd37053dd #füralle #facts
Rettungseinsatz in Berlin: Radfahrerin nach Unfall mit Betonmischer gestorben

Die in Berlin schwer verletzte Fahrradfahrerin ist gestorben. Klimaaktivisten sollen einen Stau ausgelöst haben. Dies hatte offenbar laut einem Vermerk der Feuerwehr aber keinen Einfluss auf die Versorgung der Frau.

In an open letter published today, more than 800 scientists and academics of the French-speaking world voice their support to the @ScientistRebel1 in custody in Munich: we know where the real culprits are.

In-depth: Russia’s war means fossil fuels will peak within five years, IEA says - Carbon Brief

Fossil fuel use will peak within five years, says the World Energy Outlook 2022 from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

In that view it would be OK if many people suffer from climate collapse as long as the #Musk dynasty keeps the chance to move a fraction of humanity to Mars - even though the route to that move needs huge amounts of energy which amplifies the climate change in the first place. #ethics #repugnant #liveworthliving 2/n
A main problem with #longtermism is that one can always find a big enough slice of the (imagined) far future that dwarfs any change to the better in the near future like the next 100 years. The total sum of well being in that huge slice justifies any suffering nearby. This may be a variant of Parfit’s “repugnant conclusion”. #ethics #repugnant #liveworthliving 1/n

A trio of @NatureClimate papers show why changes in snow ❄️ matter for food production.

First, in a paper led by Yue Qin (2020), we showed where surface water irrigation depends on snowmelt runoff around the world, identifying basins at risk f/ warming.

Many aspects of #climate impacts on #health are still under the public radar. For instance, #globalwarming is moving habitats of invasive #disease vectors like mosquitoes more and more northward.

In an warmer world, which seems inevitably now, chances of newly emerging of infectious diseases outbreaks will increase. This map shows the ongoing spreading of invasive Aedes mosquitoes in #europe. And yes, they settle in.

Here’s an animation I periodically update that shows 800 thousand years of CO₂ and temperature from ice cores.
