  1. sometimes change is fast like the asteroid that ended the age of dinosaurs but usually its gradual it look a long time for diversity we have today to evolve today humnas are altering earth #climates and habitats too qucikly for other climates

  6. Brought out from a discussion elsenet: would Earth now be warm enough to support large, #nonavian #dinosaurs today? This is a fair question, because as bad as global warming is—and it's going to get worse—we're still nowhere near the hottest times of the #Mesozoic.

    The answer is, it was *generally* warmer than the present day, but #global #temperatures went up and down considerably, as you'd expect over such a long stretch of time—about 175 million years from the first dinosaurs to the #Chicxulub impact. Dinosaurs as a #clade did fine the whole way through, although of course with plenty of various groups dying out in the meantime.

    Also, the planet has always had warmer and cooler regions. Many large dinosaurs lived comfortably in polar regions that had #climates comparable to the cooler parts of the temperate zones today. The idea that non-avian dinosaurs exclusively inhabited steaming jungles or baking deserts has been embedded by generations of paleoart, but it's just wrong. If the impact hadn't happened, they'd still be thriving.

    That being said, #sauropods in particular seemed to prefer warmer environments, so their range might be a lot more limited now than it was then, and it's possible the ice age(s) would have finished them off. Other famous giants like #tyrannosaurs, #ceratopsians, and #hadrosaurs would still be widespread, and smaller ones like #dromaeosaurs ("raptors") would be as numerous as coyotes and wildcats are in our world.

  8. "Scientists have developed highly detailed maps showing where tree planting makes the most sense for maximizing climate benefits.

    The complex interplay between #albedo, local #climates, and #reforestation efforts underscores the need for a nuanced approach to tree planting. It’s clear that reforestation is not a one-size-fits-all solution to climate change."

  9. [insert meme] "It's #humans".

    "We've driven 20,000 years' worth of #ClimateChange in...170 years.

    "...the chances of our #species existing are...so small, [we must] realize how lucky we are."

    "...the #Earth [is] one body...#climates and #environments...are connected...how fragile that #ecosytem is."

    These videos prove our existence is so improbable as to be a miracle.

    We need to behave accordingly, or die

  10. #Forests in drier South American #climates experienced the greatest impacts of the 2015–2016 #ElNiño, indicating greater #vulnerability to #extreme #temperatures and #drought. However, intact tropical South American forests overall were no more sensitive to the extreme 2015–2016 El Niño than to previous less intense events, remaining a key defence against #ClimateChange as long as they are protected:

  11. "Adopted unanimously earlier this year, the #Paris Council's plan sees widening green #oases now being built in front of schools to all city neighborhoods; reopening #fountains and renewing thousands of #apartments; and replacing zinc roofs and other surfaces with lighter-colored materials that are more suited for hotter #climates."

    "A catastrophic situation could be a city where only the poor and old people stay, without any solutions."

  12. #Bergmann's rule states that #endotherms have a large body #size in high latitudes and #cold #climates. New research suggest that whether Bergmann's rule applies to a particular taxon is mediated by not only #geographic and biological features, but also potential alternate #strategies that species might have for #thermoregulation: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ab

  13. Humans have predominantly inhabited a surprisingly limited range of Earth's diverse #climates.

    This distribution may be a result of the human #temperature niche, which is influenced by fundamental constraints.

    If #climate change mitigation efforts are not implemented or large-scale migration does not occur, a significant portion of humanity may face exposure to mean annual temperatures that are warmer than those experienced in almost any location today.

  14. #China-specific #ClimateDenial :

    "The China Environment News, the official outlet of China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment came out with an article that explained why, contrary to #viral claims, rising temperatures will not usher in a period of #prosperity for mainland China. This particular claim is very specific to China as it harks back to the Han and Tang dynasties, which were said to have experienced #stability and prosperity during warmer #climates."

  15. The reported losses (costs) of extreme weather keep shooting up as #Climates continue to change. The costs of addressing the #ClimateCrisis will ultimately save us money. So how about we spend the money now?

  16. Here is a map of #Africa biomes. 🧵

    Three successive climatic strips are repeated to the north and south of the equator, covering the Mediterranean #climates, desert, subtropical and intertropical rainy, the latter, in its two main types, savannah and jungle.

    The #tropical climate zone is hot year-round. During the summers, rainfall occurs due to the influence of trade winds from the sea and during winters the climate is drier. The trees are smaller and the soil is clearer.

  17. Feeling very positive and heartened to see the great #animalrights, #animalliberation and #vegan communities on here!

    I'm told there are now also a few #veganism and #animalrights instances popping up? Please send any new ones you learn of!

    Thank you so much to everyone working on their own little piece of this #antispeciesism puzzle. We're going for full #nonhumanrights #personhood and #equality

    #Animaljustice is an issue that goes hand in hand with #climatejustice. Not just for humans, but for nonhumans too. Animals have even more individualized #climates than humans, and our #anthropocene activities have an even greater impact on them.

    Please boost/ give us a follow!
    We're here to build a community on a higher, more inclusive level - but stronger and more integrated, intentional in purpose, too.

  18. Frank Herbert got some things right, some wrong, but Arrakis is mostly habitable.

    "We are scientists with specific expertise in climate modelling, so we simulated the climate of Arrakis to find out. We wanted to know if the physics and environment of such a world would stack up against a real climate model."
