It's a very short boat ride the one from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. But it's really a springboard from the globalised, motorised, and carbonised part of the world to the Global South. I have already travelled about 14,000km to come here without taking airplanes and I truly savour the crossing of this physical but most importantly cultural boundary between North and South. The taxi that takes me to the embarkment to Jakarta travels through bumpy roads, which turn into dirt road at the very access to the Pelni (the Indonesian national ferry company) departure point. I am torn between accepting the offer of porters to carry my luggage or carrying it myself. It's little money for me and a lot of money for them. I opt for carrying it myself, as I am short of Indonesian cash and I perceive porters' requests as bordering extortion. I travel 3rd class, because I want to stay as close as possible to the travelling conditions of most travellers. I get a bed in one of the many sleeping halls provided on the ship. A mattress is provided, although it's better not to think of the last time it has been washed. I must say sleeping is hard. People talk loudly throughout the night and kids cry loud. However, I am so tired that I sleep tight. As usual, I am woken up at 4am by the call to the Islamic morning prayer. #RefuseToFly #Slowtravel #Decarbonise #ClimateAction #StrictlyPublicTransport #researcherlife #researcher #Singapore #Indonesia #Batam #FerryTravel #Pelni

I am very proud of my newly bought solar power generator and I use it straightaway on my makeshift office space at the upper deck of the ship taking me to Jakarta. The sunset over the Java sea is, however, a big distraction for my overdue essay...

They promised climate action for years, but what these meat and dairy giants were really selling was something else https://phys.org/news/2026-04-climate-action-years-meat-dairy.html #AnimalRights #meat #dairy #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #GoVegan

It is a common belief that higher elevations are naturally cooler. In pristine landscapes, this rule holds firm. But what about urban environments? Humanity moves vast amounts of matter and energy, sometimes fundamentally altering the thermodynamic parameters of our habitat. 🛰️ I correlated summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) data across Calgary’s neighborhoods with the Canadian Medium-Resolution Digital Elevation Model (MRDEM). The chart below illustrates the relationship between "Average Elevation" and "Average Surface Temperature" specifically for established residential communities. As observed, this relationship is notably weak, even though a slight cooling trend persists. Based on my data analysis, elevation above sea level is not a key factor in cooling the city. #Calgary #OpenData #UrbanHeat #DataScience #ClimateAction #YYC #GreennesOfCalgary #ClimateEquity #EnvironmentalEquity #CityPlanning #RemoteSensing #RStats #Landsat #fossgis #DigitalElevationModel

COP31 is looming on the horizon for Turkey, but are we focusing on the wrong things? 🧵 If we treat COP31 as a 14-day summit in Antalya, we miss the forest for the trees. It is a multi-year climate process that demands a total overhaul of our economic and operational strategies. Sustainability isn't a PR move; it's a survival strategy. https://beforethelastglaciermelts.blogspot.com/2026/04/are-we-ready-for-cop31.html #COP31 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Turkey #ClimateStrategy

We're failing the 2030 pesticide targets. 🛑 A massive new study shows that while we spray less "stuff," the chemicals are getting much more toxic. 4 countries cause 50%+ of the harm. We need to stop these toxic "cocktails" before our pollinators are gone. 🐝🚨 https://news.mongabay.com/2026/03/nations-not-on-track-to-meet-un-2030-pesticide-risk-reduction-targets-study/ #EcoFriendly #SaveTheBees #ClimateAction

The temperature rise is accelerating. An intelligent species would not dig its own hole, would it? #GlobalWarming #climate #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2025GL118804

That's such a profound tension you're holding, Richard. You have to somehow contain this deep knowing - about those ancient cycles being broken, about the true scale of what's happening - and then walk into meetings where you need to be measured, strategic, practical. It's like you're asked to be both the person who fully sees the emergency and the person who can't act like it's an emergency. That takes an enormous emotional toll - to know something is urgent and sacred, and then have to work within systems that treat it as manageable and incremental must be challenging. #ClimateAction

As Congress ponders Federal EV & hybrid car fees, they need to hear from folks to make sure the fees aren't punitive (vis-à-vis gas taxes in comparably sized vehicles). Fortunately, @cclusa.org has a nifty Tell Congress web form to make it easy to #WriteYourRep Be sure to customize the message, especially if you own an #EV or #hybrid car. https://citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-take-action/ev-fee/ #ClimateAction #CCL #uspol

President Donald Trump on Monday slammed a new clean energy agreement between California and the United Kingdom, deriding Gov. Gavin Newsom and warning British leaders against partnering with the Democratic governor. “The U.K.’s got enough trouble without getting involved with Gavin Newscum. He's a loser. Everything he’s touched turns to garbage. His state has gone to hell, and his environmental work is a disaster.” #ClimateAction https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/16/trump-calls-gavin-newsoms-clean-energy-deal-with-the-u-k-inappropriate-00782974

The difference between #climate and #weather: "January 2026 was the fifth warmest on record...a stark reminder that the climate system can sometimes simultaneously deliver very cold weather in one region, and extreme heat in another." #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ClimateCrisis https://climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-fifth-warmest-january-sees-2026-start-weather-extremes-across-both-hemispheres
