Our #ragweed haploblocks paper is out! We used #herbarium samples to show that this major cause of hay fever has used large inversions to adapt during its invasion of Europe. Super proud of this work nature.com/articles/s4146… @MuseumEvoGen @BiekerVanessa @chocci_boi @NatureComms

Come and check @AnneCecileCln great poster on the evolution of drought adaptation in #eucalpts #icg2023 poster session today and Thursday

Remember in 2020 hordes of ppl were posting black squares, rushing to buy books about fragility & 'learning, listening' because the outrage of George Floyd's murder suddenly woke y'all up to racism? Well a 15 yr old Aboriginal CHILD has died from a racially motivated attack 1/2

We have allowed corporations and the rich to get out of control. They will always take and take until they break everything, if they are able to, up to and including breaking the planet.

Disaster trauma & climate anxiety is a completely reasonable response to a world heading towards a future of compounding collapses. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Civil disobedience is effective to bring the catastrophe of climate disaster to public attention. It is often seen by reasonable adjudicators as completely proportional to the collapse we are facing.

Have a read of this, folks. I'm sure people who arent engaged with the climate issue think people like me are hysterics. But read this for yourself. We're F'd unless the media prioritise this and millions get on the streets and demand change. Read it. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Scientists have been warning about climate tipping points for decades but a new study sets a new timeline for Earth to reach multiple tipping points that will be disastrous for people across the world: now. Climate action cannot wait; it's time to act! grist.org/climate/report…

This report is terrifying. Read it for yourself. It is more important than anything or anyone. If the media cannot give this the same blanket coverage, then sorry, I do think we need a revolution. We are being lead over a cliff. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Trying to solve our ecological crises without using the term degrowth is like trying to improve the health of smokers without telling them to quit smoking.

What should we do? End the fossil fuel industry (~80% of the cause of global heating), end the animal agriculture industry (~15%), and shift into #EmergencyMode as a society. "Net-zero by 2050" is WAY too slow. Your activism will help with this. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Eventual society-wide emergency-mode climate action is assured. Things are intensifying - it's physics - and the shift to emergency mode WILL happen once enough people freak out. What I'm pushing for is for this shift to occur as soon as possible so we save as much as possible.

I'm terrified by what we're seeing this summer, and by knowing how fast it's getting worse, and by how there's not really a ceiling on how bad it can get, and by how almost everyone still pretends business as usual can go on. Those who are not terrified don't have a clue.

The Age of Extinction Is Here — Some of Us Just Don’t Know It Yet by @umairh eand.co/the-age-of-ext…

"Most native trees cut down in Victoria become woodchips, pulp and pallets. ... Logging results in at least 94% of a forest’s stored carbon ending up in the atmosphere." Continued logging is deliberately chosen by @VictorianLabor. theconversation.com/logged-native-…

Blame the heat on the fossil fuel fuel industry. Also know that heat waves will get steadily hotter until we end the fossil fuel industry, and however hot we let them make it is how hot it will stay for the rest of your life
