Amazing talk by @ljconnell92 on multigenerational exposure of future ocean predictions (temperature and pH) to the marine ragworm Hediste diversicolor at #SEBconference #SEB24 under Pi @cybokat, head of @OdysysLab.

Climate change: how bad could the future be if we do nothing? I developed this table of impacts for my book 📕 ‘Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction’ based on the @IPCC_CH 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 reports Beyond 1.5°C #ClimateChange impacts gets worse and worse

'Beyond extreme' by definition. Ireland and the British Isles are at the epicentre of a major marine heatwave. We have not seen the North Atlantic look like this in modern records. Marine heatwaves are categorised from 1 to 5. There are hotspots hitting category 5.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ALARM BELLS! It is happening NOW on our coasts (as predicted) and right now!! And it's only JUNE!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 🌡️🌡️ #GlobalHeating #Heatwave #Ocean
One of the most severe marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the coast of Ireland and the UK, with water temperatures as high as 4-5°C above normal. NOAA's Marine Heatwave Watch has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.

Every hour a garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the seas. We catch seafood equivalent to the weight of China every year. We need to change course. No planet B. #ActOnClimate #climateaction #climate #nature #useless #wasteless #oceans

Saving whales is essential in the fight against the #climatecrisis. If they go they may take us with them. We're all in this together. We have the solutions. Time to break free from fossil fuels and implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #climate #nature

Some staff members and postgraduate students volunteered at the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital to assist them for #Mandeladay. They spent the day assisting with various tasks which included #tortoise health checks, and painting and cleaning the tortoise houses.

Many parts of the world are experiencing weather & climate extremes linked to human-induced #ClimateChange, including the current #heatwave in Europe 🌡 It's vital we work together to keep 1.5C alive and avoid extreme weather events becoming the new normal. #GlasgowClimatePact

40 degrees in the UK is not normal. Multiple fires across London is not normal. It's time to listen to the science and ditch fossil fuels. Now.
