A convincing large scale study on potential protection against dementia, but it surprises me how all the journalistic attention goes to coffee and not to black or green (not herbal) tea, which seems to have the same effect. Are we tea drinkers marginalized?

Flawed economics puts world welfare and economics at risk. The climate crisis is real, it is here now, and it could fundamentally threaten the global economy .https://t.co/WLsPCFBzQk

Het blijft ingewikkeld om te begrijpen dat wereldwijde opwarming gekoppeld is aan extreme kou-uitbraken. De weerpatronen worden instabieler (dus soms lokaal extreme kou, maar veel vaker op meer plekken extreme hitte), impact wordt kostbaarder en noodzaak tot weerbaarheid groter!

The destabilisation of the #AMOC is no longer a distant scenario - it’s a national and global security risk. In a new article in Dagens Nyheter, Iceland’s Climate Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson and I outline actions to tackle this threat: https://t.co/1tfJJGNpUT (in Swedish)

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Climate change is inflaming tensions over resources, forcing people from their homes & tearing at our ecosystems.

Vulnerability anywhere becomes a risk everywhere – for financial systems, supply chains & global stability.

That's why climate justice is an investment in peace.

For centuries, the tritone - a musical interval spanning three whole tones - has added tension, drama and mystery to music by everyone from Bach to Bernstein

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Let’s resolve to get our priorities straight in 2026.

Let’s invest more in fighting poverty & less in fighting wars.

Let’s heal the planet & secure a future of peace & justice.

Let’s rise together:

For justice, humanity & peace.

I wish you all a peaceful #NewYear!

Five holly leaves from the same tree 🌳

If holly is allowed to grow into a tree it is highly likely to do the same

Holly evolved to fight back against the large herbivores that used to roam the Earth. The higher the tree grows the smoother the leaves get

Remember, for much of the world - including pretty much all of South and SE Asia that relies on glacier-fed rivers for irrigation -

no glaciers means no water

and no water means no crops

and no crops means no food

This is very moving. Hard to watch when the betrayal of the next generation continues through the silence of politicians and media to really address the environmental disasters speeding towards us

[Robin Boardman @RobinBoardmanUK]

Wild honeybees have just been declared endangered in the EU.

Once thriving in forests and cities alike, they’re now vanishing under the weight of habitat loss, parasites, and industrial beekeeping.

Life is losing its sweetness.
