This is another horrifying statistic to shelve alongside the composition of global mammalian biomass:

Attached: 1 image …Here are some highlights (lowlights): “If you drop all that old life into the container that we call Earth, and burn them, it turns out that what we burn in *1 year* weighs 100x more than everything alive today. Everything. All the whales, elephants, forests, insects, grass, crops, birds, fish, people, dogs and cats. Add up all the carbon in everything alive now, and still, in one year we burn a hundred times more.” #climateDiary

When scientists share their failures, the public trusts them more
In an age where trust in science often feels like it's teetering on a fault line, new research from the University of Michigan offers a simple but powerful insight: When scientists share their struggles—especially their failures—they may actually earn more public trust.

New scientific analysis determines there are four distinct species of giraffe #science

There are actually four giraffe species in Africa, scientists say
Giraffes are now classified into four distinct species in Africa. Researchers previously thought all giraffes belonged to a single species. On Thursday, a task force of the International Union for Conservation of Nature identified Northern, reticulated, Masai, and Southern giraffes as separate species. This change is based on genetic studies and anatomical differences. Each species faces unique threats and conservation needs. Northern giraffes are the most endangered, with only about 7,000 left…

This is why massive cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service are so dangerous. You can expect more of this with the increasingly anti-science policies given climate driven intense storms and increased unpredictability.

Robotic frames offer new insights into honeybee behavior and honey storage
EPFL researchers are developing robotic beehive frames that help locate honey stores inside of beehives over time, without relying on cameras. The aim is to develop new observation tools to study honeybee behavior that better fit the bees' natural way to occupy space compared to current methods.

#Fediverse is amazing, less than 24 hours after I posted this and @peertube  is only €223 from the penultimate target with 30 hours to go.
Not taking any credit for that, but happy to see a chord has been struck for all genuine surveillance-capital-free social media. Even more important in the time of #NoKings.
Looks like I'm going to be busy making #Science videos on #ClimateChange in the #Polar Regions too for the next few weeks.
Here's one I made earlier on #SurfaceMass Budget. Let me know if there's something #Climate and/or #ice related you'd like to see a short clip about and I'll see what we can do
#fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...
