Check out this important article by @naish_tim that features a figure created by @RemasterAgency that outlines just one sequence of changes and consequences of global heating on #Antarctica's ice sheets and the resulting sea-level rise. 🌏🔥 https://t.co/nr6sQC4GIH

We are on a trajectory that takes Earth across thresholds humans have never experienced, into a climate where Antarctica’s ice shelves can no longer exist, leading to several metres of sea-level rise.

Marine sediments are the world’s largest store of carbon, and fiords in particular are a massive sink, writes experts from @otago + @univofstandrews. But New Zealand doesn’t even have oceans policy to develop blue carbon climate policy.

Covid precarity left Dr Greer Gilmer rethinking the future for her young family. The #Whitinga funding allowed her climate research to continue @gnsscience Ōtepoti Dunedin. See more on Greer's early career research and @MBIEsci fellowship. @geosciencenz

The BLAKE Expedition team collecting peat samples on Motu Ihupuku / Campbell Island with @gnsscience geologist Greer Gilmer @gjgilmer Peat cores contain valuable information that can be used to reconstruct past climate variability, wind strength and rainfall.

Tēnā koutou! It’s @BillyVanU taking over @PolarImpact. Māori have a long history of connection to Antarctica. We now want to engage with other Indigenous peoples, share narratives, and push for a new era of Antarctic management!

Hey @DnCityCouncil John Wilson Ocean Drive is meant to have NO vehicle access today. Very unsafe for the many people out walking, cycling, scootering on this beautiful day #dunnerstunner

🔥THIS🔥: "The big polluters’ masterstroke was to blame the climate crisis on you & me. [W]e are embedded in a system of their creation–a political, economic & physical infrastructure that creates an illusion of choice while, in reality, closing it down." https://t.co/qU5nwdBgDm

Fossil fuel giants have known the harm they do for decades. But they created a system that absolves them of responsibility, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
