Trying out Bluesky but mostly LinkedIn. It’s a shame but Twitter used to be a fantastic place to communicate and connect.

Support Hujefa fight/recover from Muscular Dystrophy / CMD Hujefa, a 12-year-old boy, has been fighting a rare and serious medical condition for the past 7 years. His family has been traveling to AIIMS Delhi for his treatment, but the road to recovery is far ...

Hello, trying to help a friend out here. Treating DMD costs ~26 cr (3m USD). Annual expenses are easily 40-50k USD. Hujefa’s family cannot do this on the salary of a daily wage worker. They have started a fundraiser and anything you are able to contribute will help them.

The world keeps turning a blind eye on West Asia as draconian policies are being implemented. This is the latest in the series of things that half the population of a country is banned from doing. This is so dehumanising.

New paper estimates a net warming effect of 2020 maritime fuel desulfurization regulations (due to reduced ship track formation) of +0.08±0.03 K.

This is roughly (VERY ROUGHLY! do not try this at home!) comparable to the warming impact of ~100 GtCO2e.

Yes, one hundred billion tons. With a B.

All - Bluesky Directory A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Made an India climate/energy starter pack since I haven't seen one yet!

#PepitoPH is the 6th typhoon to hit #Philippines in a month. No country, especially one which is still developing can cope with back-to-back climate disasters. The world HAS to increase funding towards #adaptation. We don’t fully recognize the world around us

As UNFCCC-COP29 reaches its midway point in Baku, here’s what @nature.org’s global climate lead @clareshakya.bsky.social thinks needs to happen by next weekend… www.nature.org/en-us/newsro...

Shell boss to focus on shareholder returns as he shuns megadeals Oil major uses bumper earnings from past 18 months to launch huge repurchasing scheme

“Sawan has sought to improve financial performance by ‘simplifying’ Shell’s approach to the energy transition.”

“That involves… re-emphasising the oil and gas business and trimming less profitable parts of the company’s low-carbon portfolio.”

How does one find climate and energy researchers on this platform?

Newest platform I am on…anyone taking bets on how popular this one will become?
