You may have heard that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the #IPCC - released a new #climate report.

Here’s the most important take home:

There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.

Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

Three Insulate Britain activists are serving jail terms for contempt of court for breaching rulings made by a judge that they were not to mention the climate crisis, fuel poverty or the history of the peaceful civil rights movement to juries.

The three – David Nixon, Amy Pritchard and Giovanna Lewis – were jailed after addressing the juries at separate trials to explain their motivation for taking direct action. #climate #protest #activism

Court restrictions on climate protesters ‘deeply concerning’, say leading lawyers

Three non-violent Insulate Britain activists have been jailed for telling juries why they were protesting

We're super excited for the #ClimateOfChange #Mastodon PREMIERE, Tues Feb 28 at 7pm, featuring #yyc author of #ThePatch, #ClimateOptimist and more #ChrisTurner!

Fave this post or better yet BOOST it and we'll update it during show time so YOU GET THE NOTIFICATION.

We'll also be keeping an eye on comments/questions of this post to ask Turner on the show! See you tomorrow night!

Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

Some of us divergent types can't help but think systemically. I have presented to several groups of engineers about building innovative teams. I recommend doing deep research in a very different field, like biology (as opposed to computer science for example), when searching for inspiration. I have several good examples and love the idea of transdisciplinary thought. You have my vote.

#science #climate

Rather than teach #science by compartmentalizing biology, chemistry, physics, etc., we should focus on systems thinking.

The world is interconnected - oceans, food, #climate, energy, health, security, biodiversity & on.

When more of us, all around the world, consider how the pieces fit together & influence each other, we’ll be better equipped to meet global challenges.

Climate change, according to my classes, instigates extreme weather swings, such as freezing winters and scalding summers.

Climate change is real, and "winter is still cold" is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR *YOUR* GODDAMN IGNORANCE

CLIMATE. CHANGE. IS. REAL.

GET THAT IN PEOPLES' HEADS!

The burning question about #fungi: what happens to them in extreme heat? theguardian.com/environment/20…

#Scientists in #Italy are testing the impact of #fire and #drought to learn how the changing #climate affects #underground fungal networks.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.

Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.

A new Serving Up Science is all about cultivated meat: youtu.be/GaX38aFAGSo

Are you willing to try it?

The future of lab grown meat is here! | Serving Up Science

Would you eat steak grown in a test tube? A chicken nugget from a petri dish? It's not science fiction. It’s the next generation of meat, grown in a lab from...
