Reminder: ocean heat content is a BETTER metric of global heating than surface temperatures (which are far more prone to fluctuations due to El Nino/La Nina), and unlike surface temperatures, it set a NEW RECORD THIS PAST YEAR: link.springer.com/article/10…

Yesilgöz zadelt nu andere partijen die noodzakelijk zijn voor een stabiele coalitie op met het door haar gecreëerde probleem: het blokkeren van GL-PvdA. Waarom zouden Rob Jetten en Henri Bontenbal, de twee eclatante winnaars van de verkiezingen, dat moeten accepteren?

Today, for 2026 @ICES repeats the zero catch advice for #European_eel for all life stages, all uses and in all habitats. Anthropogenic mortalities should be zero and habitats restored. Contrary to scientific advice, exploitation of > 2,000 t continues: ices-library.figshare.com/ar…

Oh, wat was ‘rechts’ er druk mee. @F__Timmermans zou mislukt zijn in Brussel. Zijn beleid geflopt. Realiteit is anders. De #natuurherstelwet van Timmermans en @diederiksamsom is nu Europees beleid. Natuurbeleid nu geborgd in Europa.

🇪🇺Countries had their final say: #NRL has just been adopted!
This is the right decision and what citizens, scientists and industry kept calling for.
We are still on track to reverse the biodiversity loss, let’s now start work together and show that EU is still leading the way.

Storms should be named after fossil fuel companies.
What a brilliant idea - linking the destruction polluting industries are causing to the ever growing wave of storms, floods, & climate change impacts.

Havermelk wordt vanaf volgend jaar flink duurder vanwege de frisdranktaks. Maar wat ís havermelk eigenlijk, en waarom maakt het zoveel mensen boos? We beantwoorden al jullie Kijkersvragen in De #Avondshow: youtu.be/kF1EFIvDkO4

#Norway & the #UK recently reached a #mackerel quota agreement for 2023 – amounting to 59% of the Total Allowable Catch for all #CoastalStates.
It leaves 41% of the TAC available to remaining parties. This MUST NOT be exceeded or it puts the #sustainability of the stock at risk.
