It's better to understand the #AMOC risk than to be ignorant. I have videos of 50 minutes (my Alfred Wegener Medal lecture), 35 minutes and 15 minutes on our YouTube channel. This one is the shortest, for those with little time. Watch & share. youtu.be/mm_YZ2juQL4

Please RT to obtain a ban of harmful pesticides, the neonicotinoids being exactly 7,797 times more toxic than the 'simple' DDT is. 😡 If you don't trust me, comment and I will answer you with the link and a pic. I did that from September 2023 to February 2024 to save the…

Species are going extinct between 1,000 and 10,000 times faster than normally happens in nature. Biodiversity is our LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM and we cannot afford for it to fall apart. 🎨: Hungarian Entomological Society, 2021

We need to have everyone on board with this - lead the way in banning private jets which have inordinate contribution to CO2 emissions. Global wellbeing depends on it.

In just one hour, a single private jet can emit two tonnes of CO2. The average person in the EU emits 8.2 tCO2eq over the course of an entire year. Super polluters can't keep flying around like there’s no climate crisis. It’s time to #BanPrivateJets. #ClimateJustice

Brilliance is useless if you've got no friends in academia. I've spent 10+ years as a professor and noticed this: The top academics don't always have the most papers. They're the ones who master relationship building. Here's why relationships matter more than your h-index:
