What does @pluralistic think he’s doing releasing a new book, I haven’t gotten around to reading the last book I bought from him

#ClimateDiary What a time to be alive

New research that #Amoc tipping within this century, even quite soon, is a definite possibility:

Sea levels would rise by a metre in some regions, inundating many coastal cities. The wet and dry seasons in the Amazon would flip, potentially pushing the already weakened rainforest past its own tipping point. The southern hemisphere would become warmer. Europe would cool dramatically and have less rainfall.

“I hope this verdict sends a message that falsely attacking climate scientists is not protected speech,” Mann said.

Gorgeous mackerel sky above Southampton in the late afternoon today. The unseasonal warmth continues, with temperatures warmer than LA and Mediterranean resorts forecast for this weekend, but perhaps a change is coming?

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

I was wandering along minding my own business yesterday when I found the path ahead blocked by a gaggle of twitchers, so, instead of complaining I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

Is it possible to teach an introvert to be an extrovert (if they were presumably motivated to change) ? Would it be possible to transform extroverts into introverts through some program of calming and conditioning?

#NatureNotes
Spent some time walking part of the North Downs Way on Saturday. Hedgerows very colourful with red #hawthorn berries (haws) and dark blue sloes. A few swallows skimming low over the fields, getting ready to depart for Africa. Buzzards and red kites soaring in the thermals, and a few #butterflies (commas & red admirals) basking in the autumn sun

As summer begins to shade into autumn, the warblers have fallen silent and the marsh is a much quieter place. The wind wispers in the reeds, circling buzzards mew, house martins chirrup as they hawk. The plant life is still riotous, with hemp agrimony and purple loosestrife adding colour. Berries ripen, seeds mature, thistledown drifts

#Wetlands #FishlakeMeadows #August #ClimateDiary #Birds #BloomScrolling #NatureNotes

Spikes of purple loosestrife grow out of lush vegetation by a stream. Behind are water meadows dotted with scrub
Reed beds with the chocolate brown heads of bullrushes, framed by clusters of white umbellifer flowers in the foreground and clumps of trees in the distance
Tufts of fluffy pale pink hemp agrimony flowers grow head-high beneath a dead tree
