  1. Travelling 24hrs by coach from Milan to London to attend Global Tipping Points conference @uniofexeter 👉 global-tipping-points.org/conf,
    I am excited to learn state-of-the-art on climate+social tipping points with #TimLenton,#JohanRockström & Co & about climate communication from @DoctorVive et al.

  2. Rückblick auf die re:publica 25: Johan Rockström zur „Decisive Decade“

    Anfang der vergangenen Woche war ich auf der re:publica. Ich habe vor allem Sessions zur Information und Desinformation über die Klimakrise und die mit ihr verbundenen Krisen besucht. Ich bin auf viel Neues gestoßen, aber ich kann noch kein persönliches Fazit daraus ziehen. Mir ist nicht klar, ob und wie sich die vielen Vorträge und Diskussionen, die ich mitbekommen habe (die meisten von ihnen kann man auf YouTube ansehen) als Teile des Events verstehen lassen, zu dem sie gehören: Die re:publica ist ja nicht nur eine Sammlung interessanter Einzelinhalte, sondern ein Treffen der Szene, die an digitaler Kommunikation und an demokratischer Politik interessant ist. Als Besucher habe ich eine kommentierte Wasserstandsmeldung dazu erwartet, wo sich die digitale Öffentlichkeit gerade befindet. Aber die Meldung schält sich für mich noch nicht aus den vielen Kommentaren heraus, die ich bisher gehört und gesehen habe.

  3. #Nature has so far balanced our abuse. This is coming to an end,” - #JohanRockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for #ClimateImpact Research.

    #Trees and #land absorbed almost no #CO2 last year. Is nature’s #CarbonSink failing?

    The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into #ClimateModels – and could rapidly accelerate #GlobalHeating

    "It begins each day at nightfall. As the light disappears, billions of #zooplankton, #crustaceans and other marine organisms rise to the ocean surface to feed on microscopic #algae, returning to the depths at sunrise. The waste from this frenzy – Earth’s largest migration of creatures – sinks to the #ocean floor, removing millions of tonnes of #carbon from the atmosphere each year.

    "This activity is one of thousands of natural processes that regulate the Earth’s climate. Together, the planet’s oceans, forests, soils and other natural carbon sinks absorb about half of all #HumanEmissions.

    "But as the Earth heats up, scientists are increasingly concerned that those crucial processes are breaking down.

    "In 2023, the hottest year ever recorded, preliminary findings by an international team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that #forest, plants and soil – as a net category – absorbed almost no carbon.

    "There are warning signs at sea, too. #Greenland’s Glaciers and #ArcticIceSheets are melting faster than expected, which is disrupting the #GulfStream ocean current and slows the rate at which oceans absorb carbon. For the algae-eating zooplankton, melting sea ice is exposing them to more sunlight – a shift scientists say could keep them in the depths for longer, disrupting the vertical migration that stores carbon on the ocean floor."

  8. 3/5 last night i listened to this #OutrageAndOptimism podcast interview with #JohanRockstrom and #SandrineDixonDecleve, two of the authors of the new #ClubOfRome book “Earth for all: a survival guide for Humanity” (which sounds great btw). I know this is not mainstream as such but was nevertheless struck by just how much, on so many fronts, thinking is shifting away from modernity’s “silo” division of nature/culture and all that comes with that.
