I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

1/so many

Cities blanketed in dust. Graveyards swallowed by the sea. For years, scientists have sounded the alarm. Now it’s here.

Shocking footage of a dying critically endangered #eel downstream of the @ESBGroup Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Station today. This eel just happened to end up hanging on this branch at low tide. Thousands of dead and injured eels are washed away unseen - or eaten by predators.

Partial crater rim collapse into the glowing lava pond can be seen in this lucky drone shot. A small panik near the end when I am trying to find a way to evacuate the drone before the next outburst.

Just dropped my first NFT at Rarible! My most detailed image of the Moon took over 5 nights and more than 1000 frames to capture with my telescope. Space Is Art!

This 11-foot Greenland Shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is about 400 years old. It may well be Earth’s oldest living vertebrate. Scientists calculated its age by radiocarbon dating the eye lenses of dead sharks and measuring their body size https://t.co/Mea3tqM2TO

I hate to quash the exuberance of youth (although I doubt my disapproval will do any such thing) but I have to agree - this seems to be wrongheaded and dangerous - far too much, far too quickly and with potentially disastrous consequences
