@eemoin Love data.table! The transition from dplyr was tough at first but it is so much cleaner and faster.

The negative Antarctic sea ice anomaly has continued to widen for many weeks to the now historic gap.

Ice growth has been much slower than typical, and recall that this February also set the new record low for the seasonal minimum.

This is big and bleak news. The planetary boundary for chemical pollution (aka 'novel entities') has been quantified for the first time - and it's now clear that humanity is massively transgressing levels that are safe for life on Earth. Plastics! Read on. https://t.co/OEHWdSOX23

A big treat for all the sci-fi freaks and plenty more for everyone interested in climate crisis, geo-engineering, Marxism, green Keynesianism, and a lot of other topics: @aldatweets interviews the great Kim Stanley Robinson https://t.co/wsYpZNrCt8

New @IPCC report dropped: https://t.co/IBdkro7NeI

"It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land. Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have occurred."

My eyes popped when I saw this. The European Environment Agency has acknowledged that green growth is "unlikely" and calls for post-growth and degrowth alternatives to be integrated into EU policy. https://t.co/sIIWOEAYoz

Colonialism and racism have enabled climate change, and fundamentally shape climate policy and action today. We urgently need to decolonize movements and institutions. Important new analysis⬇️

Amazing book, would recommend to anyone interested in understanding the world we are living in

Most deforestation is driven by agriculture.

Beef is the leading cause – responsible for over 40%. Most of this in Brazil.

Soybeans and palm oil are also significant drivers.

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

So, today Biden signed an order calling for "the establishment of a Civilian Climate Corps Initiative to put a new generation of Americans to work conserving and restoring public lands and waters..."

That's such good news and a hard won victory.

Couple thoughts in the thread.

Amy Coney Barrett submitted a recusal list for her job on the 7th Circuit that named Shell *seven times.*

But she's not recusing herself from the big climate case against Shell next week
