So, it is possible for a group to make the collective decision to leave Twitter. Scientists "suffering insults and mass-spam are abandoning Twitter," and setting up shop on Mastodon.
"Glaciologist @Ruth_Mottram had more than 10,000 followers on Twitter but left in February and joined an alternative scientists' forum powered by Mastodon."
Gearing up in Copenhagen for the OCEAN:ICE workshop on Earth Observation data - looking forward to welcoming some of Europe's top #Antarctica and #Ice#ocean#scientists
Follow the #OceanIceEO updates tomorrow #Copenhagen
"Overall, there is almost no ice over four years old remaining—it now comprises just 3 percent of the total ice cover. This is the same percentage as last year and contrasts starkly with the late 1980s when 30 to 35 percent of the Arctic Ocean’s ice was older than 4 years."
...Then, the forecast was for two decades of rapid #GlobalWarming, which we have been experiencing.
Now, with regard to the latest data the #Antarctica in the south, it shows that the so-called #DeepWaterFormation is not so much "down the drain" anymore, as the oceans and humanity would need it to be:
"The #OceanCirculation, which includes well-known surface and subsurface #currents and the vertical motion of ocean water, appears to have changed in a major way..."
...involved in the research into the #ClimateCrisis, as a tipping point could be reached quite soon because things are getting worse:
"The model projects the overturning circulation around #Antarctica will slow by more than 40% over the next three decades, driven almost entirely by pulses of #meltwater
Over the same period, our modelling also predicts a 20% weakening of the famous #NorthAtlantic overturning circulation which keeps #Europe’s...
Since its #Photomonday I thought I would share this little guy. He should put a smile on your face.

All photos I post/toot are taken by me.
Slightly overwhelmed by number of new followers today. Hello everyone!
I'm mainly using account like I did on the birdsite: sharing things I think are fun + interesting, talking about my #science, #ClimateChange, #IceSheets + future #SeaLevelRise, plus #FOSS + #OpenScience
“The winds will change the ocean, the ocean will melt #Antarctica—and the water is coming to visit you.” If the #ThwaitesGlacier collapses, it could bring much of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet with it and raise sea levels by over three meters. The potential collapse of Thwaites is among the largest environmental threats to global civilization—and we’ve barely begun to understand it. What took us so long?

..."Out of more than 1,200 scenarios [the @wapo had analyzed] — some with temperatures rising as high as 5°C above preindustrial levels —👉 only 230 paths leave our planet below 1.5°C before the end of the century."👈
Note: this was published half a year before the now possibly imminent breakdown of the poles' ocean-cooling system, at least in [#Antarctica:
