‘Something weird is going on’: search for answers as Antarctic sea ice stays at historic lows https://t.co/GrZ4fLJ1pI

“For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.” https://t.co/NnVnjRtc8W

Yesterday, Antarctic sea ice extent hit a new record statistical low of -6.65σ below the 1991-2020 mean. About a 1-in-70B chance w/o climate change.

This is not a graph of extent or anomaly. It is a graph of standard deviations -- a measure of how abnormal the year's data is.

Only a society that has truly lost its way would celebrate holidays & festivals by purchasing instant-landfill from planet-devouring corporations & then pass it on to beloved family & friends.

Let’s uncouple consumer capitalism from the meaningful people & moments in our lives.

Climate activists are completely entitled to experience joy. It is needed to continue this work

A Russian soldier surrendered. Ukrainians gave him tea, food, and let him call his mother on video. I want to cry from how much I love my country.

My pleasure! And so sorry to the co-author of this piece, Emily Salmon, who, in fact, doesn't have Twitter, and to @emilysalmon for mis-tagging you here!

Overheard at #COP26, "without fossil fuels, the entire global economy would collapse" and wow have we got some news for them

@MillennialTweet Phenomenal news, Andrew!

Demanding instit. divestment goes back to the 1980s, when activists pushed for money be taken out of apartheid South Africa. And, now, as Divest Harvard shows, when our public funds, pensions, or alumni contrib. support oppressive practices, we can organize to evoke huge shifts.

Been seeing a lot of "decolonizing" talk in academia lately. You can't decolonize without returning Indigenous land, resources, lifeways. Making an aspect of the university more equitable is great, but isn't decolonizing. You can't decolonize unless you re-Indigenize.

So glad wildlife trade is being investigated. It is decimating nature - lions, giraffe, pangolins, rhino, plants etc. It has to stop. #naturalcapital #biodiversity

UN SG Guterres calls the @IPCC_CH report a “death knell” for fossil fuel orgs.

By strengthening the scientific evidence b/t human emissions & extreme weather, the #IPCCReport gives us extraordinary means to hold ff orgs. & gov't directly responsible for the climate emergency.

[Alexandria Villaseñor @AlexandriaV2005]

This next week I have 3 speaking engagements to share my reaction to the #IPCC report. I've attended the embargoed briefings and I'm busy writing my thoughts—but before I share them I have a question for all you adults...
seriously WTF do you expect my generation to do???

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

@SoderstromSara @KevChuah @NavaLucrezia @AOM_OrgNatEnv @york_jeffrey @Gaugustine It was absolutely wonderful getting to have you there, Sara! And later-stage doctoral students too! Feeling so grateful for and energized by everything you and @AOM_OrgNatEnv are creating!

A ‘massive melting event’ has struck Greenland after record-high temperatures. Roughly 8.5 billion metric tons of ice have been lost each day since July 27: 2x the normal average rate of loss at this time of year.

Was wonderful to speak to new and returning PhD students working on sustainability issues in management at this @AOM_OrgNatEnv event. Thanks to the organizers! @KevChuah @NavaLucrezia @SoderstromSara @saragraves

Climate Adaptation work increasingly urgent. This quite chilled me to the bone:
“Chinese authorities said the volumes had exceeded anything on record for the past 5,000 years, extending to the official start date of Chinese civilisation.” #ClimateCrisis #ResponsibleBusiness
