In this UP village, girls aren’t just students — they’re farmers, scientists, and future leaders. 🌱 Started under a tree by Ashita Nath, The Good Harvest School is India’s first agriculture school for girls. Here, farmers’ daughters grow broccoli and purple cabbage while learning English, math, computers, and modern farming. From just 6 girls to 65+ today — this school is transforming a village, one confident daughter at a time. Imagine this in every village. 💚 #InternationalWomensDay #WomenAgriculture #RuralEducation #EmpoweringGirls #PositiveIndia [International Women's Day, Girls Agriculture School India, Women In Farming India, Rural Girls Education India, Ashita Nath, The Good Harvest School]

“The climate has always changed” is a common talking point to distract from recent-more rapid manmade climate change. Here’s a quick/simple explainer on natural CC. Natural climate change occurs over long term scales driven by predictable changes in sunlight reaching & absorbed by Earth. Over 10s of thousands of years Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble cycles back and forth causing an ice age every ~100K years. Orbit: from more circular to more elliptical and back. Tilt: 22° to 24.5° and back. These cycles change the sunlight received/ absorbed. Over the past million years this means Earth cycles in and out of ice ages and interglacials. (Now we are between glacials) A surprising note… the global temperature difference between an ice age and warm period is only ~6°C/ 10°F, but that change takes 10K+ years to happen - until now. Over the past 150 years alone man has warmed Earth by 1.5°C/2.7°F - so about 1/4 of the amount which typically takes nature 10K+ years to accomplish. A super-charged acceleration due mainly to burning fossil fuels & forests! True: The climate has always changed. Also True: Humans are now a force of nature, super charging the natural warming rate.

🌨️ 🚂 One of our snowploughs, which is running from Inverness to Aberdeen this morning, has reached Insch. Pictured is heavy snow in the Kennethmont area (south of Huntly) that it's been dealing with. @transcotland @ScotRail

Nepal is scrapping Everest’s $4,000 trash deposit scheme after 11 years, calling it a failure. Climbers brought waste from lower camps, not higher ones where trash piles up. A new non-refundable clean-up fee is planned to fund monitoring and waste removal.

1/5 We’ve just caught up with our weather specialist, local teams, and train operators to discuss the current cold spell. Snow is forecast in northern Scotland, particularly on lines out of Inverness in all directions. We could see up to 10-15cm in some areas by Friday morning.

Just high enough today on the Crianlarich Munros to get some atmospheric cloud-spilling.

We are recruiting for a new #teacher of #Geography. Moray stretches from coast to the Cairngorms and being close to Inverness and Aberdeen many choose to settle here. With good uptake and attainment are you the person to help take Geography further? shorturl.at/lqb6o

In northern Canada, temperatures have dropped to as low as −53 °C / -63.4 °F in recent days (at the Braeburn station). 🥶 Such values so early at the beginning of winter have not been recorded in Canada since 1995 — for 30 years. Temperatures there are significantly below average. See temperature map: #p=56.7;-101.5;3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ventusky.com/cs#p=56.7;-101… 🧐

Animated population tree shows how China's population is set to shrink and age in the coming decades. China is currently obsessed with getting rich before it gets old. Japan managed that. If China fails in this, the old population is at big risk. Source: buff.ly/3yPDm35

Lots of podcasts (unsurprisingly) discussing COP30 but this is the best I’ve listened to in the last few days because it has a healthy dose of ‘hopeful geography’ within! Recommended subject knowledge update for all geographers 🌎 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…
