@forestbiologist Thanks, the download is now 3Mb so much more manageable!

O my... 260Mb? That is too much for a PDF file with photos, unless photos for all listed species. Anyway, great review!

@annbot Now a much smaller file to download (3Mb), thanks @annbot!

Scientists tend to back centre-left liberal parties - yet those same policies drive inequality and environmental breakdown Why are the planet’s smartest people defending business as usual? #ClimateCrisis #PoliticalEconomy #LiberalHypocrisy

Scientists overwhelmingly support centre-left liberal politics - but do those economic policies actually reduce inequality or protect the planet? A look at why “business as usual” survives even among society’s smartest people #Science #Politics #Sustainability #LiberalHypocrisy

Outlining the ludicrous political "choice" we have over the environment To see: 1. Why the planet needs a revolution 2. Why that needs to be science led 3. Why science itself needs a revolution to guide that process youtu.be/7t0fXUpE__0 #Sustainability #Degrowth #Inequality

Many on the modern right assume technology will save us They show little concern for nature itself But if ecosystems collapse, the political argument ends - no more debate The Scientist's Guide to the Revolution: youtu.be/7t0fXUpE__0 #ClimateCrisis #EcologicalLimits #Science

Calling populist voters idiots misses the point Neurology shows how longterm exclusion changes how brains process cost–benefits - people want to burn the system down rather than live in permanent insecurity. See: youtu.be/-gC7aHDIRxk #Trump #Brexit #Populism #Inequality

Calling populist voters idiots misses the point Neurology shows how long-term exclusion changes how brains process cost–benefits - people want to burn the system down rather than live in permanent insecurity. It's biology not ideology #Trump #Brexit #Populism #Inequality

Scientists talk about mining asteroids like it’s around the corner. Reality: we’ve collected 250 grams so far. The tech we’d need is decades away—well after climate breakdown. New video explaining why space won’t save us 👇 #SpaceScience #AsteroidMining #MarsMission #ClimateTruth

“We’ll colonize Mars and mine asteroids.” We won’t - not anywhere near the time we need to. We should fix Earth first. New video 👇 #SpaceScience #AsteroidMining #MarsMission #ClimateTruth #Sustainability #TechReality #FutureOfHumanity #ClimateCrisis

Are electric vehicles a big con? EVs give barely any ecological benefits and cause infrastructure damage. The main beneficiaries are big car companies generating sales on the back of people's environmental concerns. #ClimateCrisis #CorporateGreenwashing #ElectricVehicles

@TSGR_123 Vital content, real progress means recognising the challenges ahead and raising economic alternatives.

Why do media scientists repeatedly fail to address a basic understanding of climate and science - economic growth is incompatible with human sustainability. Media scientists will not challenge economic orthodoxy See: @TSGR-123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@TSGR-123 #ClimateCrisis #Science #Degrowth

Why Science Needs A Revolution Scientists often politically mandate unsustainable “centrist” policy - giving succor to destructive politics. Full vid: youtu.be/MU3T5ylBXEk #ScienceCulture #Sustainability #FutureOfScience #SystemicFailure

@TSGR_123 A chance for meaningful change, science needs to speak truth to power.

@timutteridge Please say hi to Billy from me!

Good luck spotting the difference...(I suppose glabrescent would be the right term here...2006 and 2025, toooo long) with Billy Bau from the Brass Herbarium, UNITECH, Lae.

Happy International Women's day, celebrating with these two legends: youtube.com/watch?v=-THq0-…

More important than ever!!
