The Weather & Climate Livestream

Join us starting May 28th, as meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US share their research and answer your questions.

We call it Earth, but only because we're land dwellers. And we rarely see this picture but it shows how massive the Pacific Ocean is, covering about a third of the Earth's surface.
This is a cloudless satellite image of the Earth, centered on the Pacific Ocean. To get a single cloudless image, NOAA satellites took photos over eleven ten-day periods and merged them.

"Hoffnung ist nicht die Überzeugung, dass etwas gut ausgeht, sondern die Gewissheit, dass etwas Sinn hat, egal, wie es ausgeht."

- Václav Havel

Humanity, in spite of current crises, can still regenerate nature, find to more #wellbeing within #planetaryboundaries.
Earth4All lays out such a story. H I V E Initiative interviews me on new strategy for a shared, broad wellbeing. It IS solvable! (but maybe it's easier to keep doomscrolling and despairing in the flood of media alarms, than to actually build a healthy bio-socio-economy Watch and/or read if your curious) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOlzTj1tinw

Die Geschichte des Überlebens - Entdeckung der Welt | ARTE

Wie konnten die Menschen in der Vergangenheit erfolgreich überleben und welche Überlebensstrategien haben wir für die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts? Menschen haben schon immer selbst unwirtliche Orte wie Oasen inmitten riesiger Wüsten oder winzige Atolle besiedelt. Wie können wir dieses Gleichgewicht des Lebens auch in Zukunft erhalten? Die Meeresforscherin Antje Boetius trifft Wissenschaftler*innen rund um die Welt, die mit einer Kombination aus altem Wissen und modernster Technik für ein besseres Zusammenspiel von Natur und Mensch kämpfen.

Studying the skin of the great white shark, which reduces friction drag by lifting turbulence vortices away from the surface, could lead to fuel-saving applications in aircraft and boats.

Studying the skin of the great white shark could help reduce drag in aircraft

High-ridged denticles reduce drag at low speeds; alternating ridges do so at high speeds.

We all know that it is crucial to tailor your message to your audience. Here is an excellent example from the UN Environment Programme.

Born at 317 ppm, I know which group I belong to. But no matter whether you are #Boomer, #GenerationX, #GenZ or #Millennial, we all are also part of #GenerationRestoration: https://www.unep.org/interactive/ecosystem-restoration-people-nature-climate/en/index.php.

Becoming #GenerationRestoration

This report throws light on how ecosystem restoration can bring massive benefits for people and nature from climate, food security, economy, water supply to biodiversity and health.

This is Blurk. He lives near the beaches of Crimea.

He is shocked Russians still come to Crimea for a beach vacation during a war.

He's not exactly sure what a war is...

Programs like this give us hope. If more schools offered this kind of education, we may be able to avoid the worst of #ClimateBreakdown

Thank you Barcelona for leading the way. You are an inspiration

What can you do with a degree in degrowth?

When you earn a degree in scaling down the economy, how do you find a job that will let you do it?

We have a moral responsibility to help low-income nations restore coral reefs

Around the world, coral reefs are suffering. But scientists in high-income nations are developing new ways to build coral resilience. We have a duty to share our skills and build capacity elsewhere.
