Marine scientist, love the ocean and her waves. Views are my own.

My book is done. I need to write a conclusion to the last chapter and will likely rewrite some paragraphs, but I won't make major changes anymore. So if you're interested in building reproducible analytical pipelines with #RStats, take a look it's free: https://t.co/Vx8LGpddwR

This is how the global ocean should be seen

We have only one #ocean at Earth

the "Spilhaus projection"

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Less than 20 years ago, the world was headed for a >4C warmer world by 2100. The amount of change that would occur under that much warming, that fast, was almost unimaginable and certainly unsurvivable for human civilization + a large percentage of the world's species. (thread)

Climate change affects all of us. Temperature change by country - 1880 - 2021. Notice a pattern?

Amidst a daunting array of "better" measures of co-occurrence and community similarity (e.g., beta-diversity), this one seems rather important:

Did you need to see a pufferfish skeleton? Yep, yep, I think now is the right time 🤯

Quite simply - astonishing. There’s no other word for it.
Almost beyond belief.

Think I've just found my absolute favourite new cartoon on the #biodiversity crisis and how exactly it relates to, well, us.

"The climate crisis is not caused by vague 'human actions’; nor is it a result of some innate aspect of human nature. It is caused by specific investments by specific people in specific things. Change those, and we can change the future." —@SimonLLewis

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The "economy" is ultimately our material relationship with each other and with the rest of the living world. As today's IPCC report settles in, we have to decide whether we want that relationship to be based on extraction and exploitation, or on reciprocity and care.
