660 führende Wissenschaftler:innen in Österreich warnen in einem Appell von #CCCA und #S4F, dass Klima- und #Klimafolgenforschung, zunehmend geschwächt werden. In Österreich droht eine schleichende Aushöhlung der #Klimapolitik und der #Klimaforschung.

A map of the world showing how levels of worry in most countries are greater than 70%. Source: Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, International Public Opinion on Climate Change, 2023.
Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.
Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.
🐚 New paper on the #speciation continuum in marine #snails!
🐚 Read it if you're interested in speciation, local #adaptation, #genomics, #inversions, parallel #evolution...
🐚 Congratulations to Francesca & Aurélien and everyone else involved!

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.
Phasing out harmful subsidies is still on the priority list, at least on paper 📜
BUT
implementation will make or break this!🤔
🌿The environment & the economy need a smart industrial policy, and phasing out harmful subsidies is key 🔑
🚨No more LIFE! Chopping up the LIFE programme prioritises industry over climate and nature.
🌳EU’s nature conservation and restoration projects could lose vital support in the future.
🎯Instead of increasing spending targets for climate & biodiversity, critical in driving investments in Europe, the Commission proposes a new environmental target with a reduced ambition of 35%
🐝This means spreading out reduced public support over even more priorities, risking leaving nature behind.
👀We have eyes on the next EU budget, but the EU budget no longer has eyes for nature.
❌35% environment target risks leaving nature behind
❌LIFE programme chopped up
❓Yes to phasing out environmentally harmful subsidies, but with a caveat
