Indem #Wale tief tauchen und dort fressen und dann an der nährstoffarmen Meeresoberfläche Kot und Urin ausstoßen, düngen sie dort, Mikroalgen wachsen, #CO2 wird gebunden.
Außerdem bewegen sie sich im #Ozean von nährstoffreichen Futterplätzen zu nährstoffarmen Gebieten. Auch das nährt die #Mikroalgen.
Der Mensch stört diese Vorgänge, wenn er Wale tötet. Daher bedarf es neben eines #fossilfreien Lebens auch des #Artenschutzes, um das #Klima zu schützen.

Sechs australische Orte nehmen den Klimaschutz in die Hand
In Gemeinden mit der Postleitzahl 2515 an Australiens Ostküste stellen 500 Haushalte von Gas auf Elektro um – für den Klimaschutz, aber auch um Geld zu sparen.Julica Jungehülsing (RiffReporter)
40% of #plants are threatened with #extinction

A popular false argument used by climate deniers is that CO2 is good for plants. So why are they threatened with extinction?

40% of plants are threatened with extinction
The extinction risk to plants could be worse than previously thought, according to a landmark report.www.nhm.ac.uk
Five years of no flying
✈️ ❌ ➡️ 🚅 ✅
5 years ago, I realised that my #academic travels were emitting way too much #greenhouse #gas #GHG (up to 20 t #CO2 / yr) and hence that my #professional activity was not #sustainable. I thus decided to completely ban air #travel (#plane) and travel mainly by #train within #Europe.
5 years later (i.e. now), my professional travels' #carbonfootprint dropped by **a factor 50**, without impacting my #publication records (compared to 2017 - 2019).
I wrote a post for the #blog of @a4e about my experience. Check it out: astronomersforplanet.earth/fiv…

Five years of no flying - astronomersforplanet.earth
The “Global Warming of 1.5ºC” special report by the IPCC in 2018 acted as a shock in academia. Over the next few years, many initiatives, like A4E or Labos1point5, appeared in order to make research more sustainable.Volker Ossenkopf-Okada (astronomersforplanet.earth)
"Les mécanismes de compensation carbone expliqués à mon hamster"
Brilliant essay by @ploum written as a dialogue. Hilarious. And tragic.

I would only have changed one word, in the last sentence: "sauvetage" (save) for "sabotage". But then it wouldn't be a fable.

This 10-year old #Newsroom clip has aged well — it’s the one that was uniquely pessimistic about (fighting) climate change, when we passed #CO2 400ppm.
We’re now around 440ppm and not slowing down — remember we started around 280.
Looking at the straight line, 500 is a certainty and 1,000ppm is a realistic bet.
Rather than extinction it’s “world wars” level of disruption. #Inflation? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

#Oil and #gas are a 'gift of #God', says #COP29 host

Imagine lobbyists from coal, gas and oil with the best financial resources holding a climate conference - that would be absurd.
