On Friday, 28 November 2025, I had the immense pleasure and honour of defending my #PhD thesis on #ControversyMapping, which explored the #Anthropocene debates. The study of science, technology, and society (#STS) continues here - and beyond. 🌎🌍🌏 theses.hal.science/tel-05458337

In front you see an uninhabitable rock, which orbits the only known place in the universe where life exists, visible in the back. We'd better take good care of our planet.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

WHO's director-general @DrTedros, echoed earlier warnings from the IAEA against continued strikes near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant. "Such actions could lead to a severe radiological accident, with serious and long-term health consequences."

Hiroshima: Today Civic groups held a demonstration in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome, as President Trump has threatened to bomb Iran’s “power plants” and civilian infrastructure — language that could include nuclear-related facilities, with potentially catastrophic consequences.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

If one image could make our beautiful blue world seem tiny and humbling, it would be this one.

Even wars have rules. The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination. ohchr.org/en/instruments…

The IAEA has been informed by Iran that a projectile struck close to the premises of the Bushehr NPP this morning, the fourth such incident in recent weeks. Iran also informed the IAEA that one of the site’s physical protection staff members was killed by a projectile fragment and that a building on site was affected by shockwaves and fragments. No increase in radiation levels was reported. IAEA DG @rafaelmgrossi expresses deep concern about the reported incident and says NPP sites or nearby areas must never be attacked, noting that auxiliary site buildings may contain vital safety equipment. Reiterating call for maximum military restraint to avoid risk of a nuclear accident, DG Grossi again stresses the paramount importance of adhering to the 7 pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict.

For over 10,000 years, Earth’s CO₂ concentration was stable. Since the Industrial Revolution, human emissions have disrupted this balance, causing CO₂ concentrations to rise. PIK’s @rahmstorf breaks down the science in a series on climate change myths: youtube.com/watch?v=rYb-je…

New online! Ocean heat content in 2025 dlvr.it/TRntgd

The last 11 years have been the hottest years ever recorded. Earth’s energy imbalance has reached its highest than at any time in observed history, with heat reaching deeper into the ocean. This is the Global #StateOfClimate 2025. Read: bit.ly/4ds4r2V #WorldMetDay

As WMO unveils the Global #StateOfClimate 2025, @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls for urgent action grounded in science. 📕Read the report: bit.ly/StateOfClimate… 📽️UNSG's full message: youtu.be/iijVBQbm3jg

Earth’s climate is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history” as global warming speeds up, @WMO warns. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

In this age of war our addiction to fossil fuels is destabilizing the climate, global economy & global security. Now more than ever, we must accelerate a just transition to renewable energy. Renewables deliver climate security, energy security & national security.

Earth’s climate is more out of balance than ever. The last 11 years have been the hottest on record, with oceans absorbing massive heat, ice melting & extreme weather impacting millions. New @WMO's #StateOfClimate report calls for urgent #ClimateAction: wmo.int/news/media-cen…

Our global climate is in a state of emergency. The latest @WMO report clearly shows that every key climate indicator is flashing red. The way ahead must be grounded in science, common sense & the courage to take urgent #ClimateAction. wmo.int/news/media-cen…

Earth is increasingly ‘out of balance’, as more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, driving global warming go.nature.com/4ssGLQz

Philosopher Juergen Habermas died at the age of 96. Best-known for his theory of political consensus-building, he shaped the discourse of post-war Germany more than any other popular intellectual reut.rs/4urvVM6

Jürgen Habermas war der einflussreichste deutsche Denker seit 1945, bis zuletzt stürzte er sich mit Leidenschaft in jede Debatte. Erinnerungen an einen, der immer schlauer war als seine schlauesten Kritiker. #ref=rss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spiegel.de/kultur/juergen…

Jürgen Habermas war ein politischer Denker, der unermüdlich kämpfte: gegen die Irrationalität, für Vernunft und die bedrohten westlichen Werte. Ein Nachruf trib.al/UcJfPwn
