Cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to slow warming.

UNEP’s Eye on Methane shows the data is here, but action isn’t.

Leaders must turn measurement into real cuts: www.unep.org/resources/eye-methane-20...

Ad 2) here I'm not so sure though... I believe topfen is very similar to quark, maybe it's a drier sort of quark. Quark is sometimes also sold as twarog. And it's similar to Frischkäse or cottage cheese.

ad 1) In 🇨🇿 (similar cuisine) we also use plums or plum butter, when there are no fresh ones available. My favourites ever are strawberries and blueberries (those from forest, instead of a farm). I think sour cherries are also thinkable, only that would be quite a bit of bother to remove the pips.

The eyes of long-spined porcupinefish are quite the sight, as with most nocturnal fish. In the shallow coral reefs where they live, the corneal iridescence significantly increases their visual range as they hunt for snails, sea urchins and hermit crabs under the cover of darkness.

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

A long, skinny map titled: "Life and Travels of the European Eel" with a subtitle reading: "From the Eel's Perspective." A label at the bottom of the map reads: "Begin Here." The map top half of the map is an mirror copy of the bottom half.

I will put the full text of the column in the alt text in an image in the next post in the thread.

 The map goes from the bottom of the page up, starting in the Sargasso Sea. An set of arrows show the eels paths to shore, then up a river and into a marshland. The arrows continue up the page to show the eel leaving the marshland and heading back downstream, and out to sea. The land is green and verdant at the bottom of the map, because the eels migrate upstream in the spring. The land is brown and dry at the top of the map, because eels migrate downstream in the autumn.

A column of text on the side tells about the eels' journeys and changes. It is more text than I can relate in the space allowed here. Each paragraph has an arrow pointing up to the next one, and they are designed to be read from the bottom of the page going upwards.

Several years ago, on a whim, I started drawing a map of an eel's life travels as seen by the eel.

I figured an eel thinks about its life as a linear journey, rather than a there-and-back again adventure. So I wanted to do a map to reflect this.

This morning, on another whim, I finished the map!

Reden wir doch mal über's Tempolimit.
PRO:
weniger CO2-Emissionen mehr Sicherheit auf den Straßen
weniger gesundheitsschädliche Lärmbelästigung
weniger Staus durch gleichmäßigeren Verkehrsfluss weniger Stickoxide und Feinstaub
+ Energiesparen !!
Contra:
ja was eigentlich?

Gegen ein #Tempolimit spricht nichts, außer ein völlig aus der Zeit gefallenes Verständnis von Freiheit auf Kosten der Allgemeinheit. #Verkehrswende

"Oi, get your eyes off my eggs!"

Fish know when you're staring at them - and they don't like it. Tourists, avert your gaze, please.

This is gross. And a reminder that your farmed salmon facilities pump antibiotics *directly* into water bodies. 💁‍♀️

‘Sly stowaway’ UK fox finds new home at Bronx Zoo after illicit transatlantic trip The fox is said to be ‘settling in well’ after mischievous 3,400 mile journey from Southampton to New York

How did the creature not dehydrate on the way? Did the crew discover it and supply it during the crossing? Did it get sea sick? Bored? Did it miss terrestrial smells? Did they check its social accounts on arrival? So many questions...

Last year I was thinking about taking an ice #diving course. Instead, it turned out to be the Polar research diving program in Finnish Lapland. A challenging week in which ice diving under 80 cm of ice in -25°C was just the top of the iceberg. Photos by Steffen Scholz and Pata Degerman #divesky

Watercolor painting of a Honeycomb Cowfish, Acanthostracion polygonius. The intricate pattern of this Boxfish breaks up its silhouette and helps it blend into its surroundings. 

I’m painting one reef fish per day for 100 days with the hope of building a community.
It’s about how art becomes connection. If you love the ocean, curiosity is enough. 🐠

💙 What are the rope-like things? Natural? Algaea? My first though was not the diver-dolphin encounter, rather the poor diver being entangled 😜 Maybe the cetacean can help...

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
