Was lucky 🍀 to attend some conferences recently and many speakers were presenting these planetary boundary images, certainly makes you think 🧐 #climatechange

[Stockholm Resilience Centre @sthlmresilience]

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.

For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

Well jeez that is terribly depressing!!

[Veronika Meduna - is no longer here 🌏 @VeronikaMeduna]

A 66% chance we'll breach the 1.5℃ threshold at least once before 2028 - that's how close we are. Doesn't mean the Paris agreement has failed - but any overshoot must be brief, and we really need to get the skates on towards net zero https://t.co/VEHLsloY5q via @ConversationEDU

Information on the new #NZ #IRL research call

[Farmers Weekly NZ @FarmersWeeklyNZ]

The aim is to accelerate mitigation technologies for agricultural methane emissions.

[Sinead Leahy @Leahy_SC]

Working with rumen methanogens can be laborious 😥 So finding ways to accelerate research with them is pretty satisfying #GHGs #Mitigation #Agriculture @GRA_GHG @AgResearchNEWS https://t.co/yKK06HKJDn

“it will never be cheaper to invest in change than now” #MakesYouThink

[Farmers Weekly NZ @FarmersWeeklyNZ]

Farm2Fork hears from agricultural pioneers about learning to ‘do more with less’.

Wow, this illustration really makes you think about the future #climatechange

[Alex Ruane @AlexRuane]

Very proud to have led team developing #IPCC SYR Figure SPM.1, released today, which shows how current and future generations have different experiences with climate change. 1/4

Nice illustration from the @nz_pce showing step change in funding for Ag R&D GHG mitigation @nzagrc #nzaccc2023

[Sinead Leahy @Leahy_SC]

Great explanation around what methane targets mean for NZ’s contribution to warming #nzaccc2023 @nzagrc @NZ_PCE

[Sinead Leahy @Leahy_SC]

Great presentation by @ReisingerAndy. A good summary of the state of play #IPCC

[Sinead Leahy @Leahy_SC]

Packed house @nzagrc #nzaccc2023

Growing up in Ireland, Sinead was such a common name, when I first came to NZ I was so surprised that lots of people could not pronounce it. I use ‘ Jane’ as my Starbucks name but even then I always get it back with ‘Jen’ #Limerickaccent Sinéad Ní Laochdha

[Niamh Ní Hoireabhaird @niamhnih]

I'm in the @guardian today talking about the (mis)pronunciation of Irish names!
