Very happy that my PhD is #PhDone !! After almost 4 years at AWI, I've successfully defended the thesis 🙏 Big thanks to everyone who helped along the way, specially @Helge_AWI and @JungAwi :) ...
Leaving #COP28 with mixed feelings.
Naming fossil fuels explicitly in the outcome for the first time in three decades of climate negotiations is a far overdue, hard won step, especially for a summit held in a petrostate... 1/n
Politicians are failing us abysmally on the #ClimateCrisis. Can comedians step up and save the day?
Watch the heroic Jo Brand give it a proper shot with scientist @ProfMarkMaslin 🔥
If this doesn't prompt revolution, what will? Please share far and wide!
#NoNewOil#COP28
Breaking News!
Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.
The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.
🚨HOT OFF THE PRESS🚨
The State of the Cryosphere 2023 report confirms even 2°C warming will trigger irreversible loss to ice sheets, glaciers, snow, sea ice, permafrost, and polar oceans with disastrous consequences for society and nature 🧵

Also felt like this was some satire on #academia:
- a scientist who messed up on simple technology on his flagship event.
- a zoom sesssion full of people who were too intimidated to point this out and assumed it was supposed to be this way.
No harm, all ended well :)

I only found out a few hours after the defence that my slides were not being shared on the (online) zoom session! So ironic, given that I did most of my Phd in Corona-time, when this was the one important skill everyone had to learn 🤦♂️
We are looking for outdoor enthusiastic people to help instruct and coordinate our 2023 Swiss expeditions (german and french). Apply now! First round of interviews starts February 6, 2023.

I found #COP27 hard, but it's great to see that the #cryosphere made it into the cover text. Big well done to @iccinet for the persistence to make that happen!
My latest video about why the #polar regions matter at COP, ft. the fabulous @RobbieMallett: https://t.co/H1f16fCoMG
So #CoP27 is over, there is a new fund for #ClimateCrisis related 'Loss & Damage', but zero action on #FossilFuel phaseout 😐 Disappointing end tbh.
And now the world's collective attention will move to the next horse and pony show - perhaps fittingly in a Petrostate 🙈🙊🙉🤮
