There's a lot of #badnews about #biodiversity and #conservation at the moment, so how about some #conservationoptimism? 🧵 based on our new paper pnas.org/doi/full/10.10… and some awesome recent work by others... 1/
As you probably know, the world has ambitious targets to protect 17% of the world's land for #biodiversity #conservation, and there are calls to increase this to anywhere between 26-60% in the next round of @UNBiodiversity talks (this year) 2/
In theory, this is great for biodiversity (more on the human impacts later). Problem is that the total area of land that you protect may not be important: a lot of #protectedareas are small or isolated, and this means that the populations are also small and isolated 3/
"It’s mediaschmerz—a sadness about the news cycle and news media, which is distinct from the experience of our everyday life. I’m not sure if I think this is good or bad. It simply is. Individual hope and national despair are not contradictions." @DKThomp greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/06/02/dai…

Amidst the horror of the late-2020 UK, I've got some #GoodNews to share! Alongside some #BadNews for #biodiversity and #conservation. So buckle up for some hot-off-the-press science from @UniversityLeeds @RSPBScience @oxmartinschool @naturesustainab

TLDR: we projected that ~88% of the 20,000 #species we looked at will lose habitat to farmland by 2050, and ~1300 will lose 25% (a QUARTER!) of their remaining habitat. This is #badnews and could hugely increase #extinction risks. 2/ nature.com/articles/s4189…
BUT with proactive #conservation actions we can eliminate losses! Increasing agricultural yields, shifting to healthier diets, reducing food waste, and global-scale land-use planning can, when combined, provide healthy diets for a growing population AND conserve biodiversity 2/

Petit #thread sur les observations du jour sur @eCO2mixRTE.
Vous l'avez remarqué, ça caille. #Vaguedefroid
Or, vous le savez probablement, la thermosensibilité du système électrique français est élevée : notre consommation élec. dépend beaucoup de la température.

@eCO2mixRTE Résultat, depuis deux semaines, la consommation a une petite tendance à la hausse.
Soyez observateurs, c'est pas très visible.

Oh, parenthèse mesquine. Vous vous souvenez que, le week-end dernier, je saluais les records de l'éolien ?
Bah c'était en plein creux de consommation.
Et pendant cette semaine, face à l'envolée de la consommation ?

I run the desk catering to the members, accepting payments, ect. I work half the week and my co-worker works the other half. She lives close by and comes in on my "Monday" to bring me up to date on outstanding happenings. Thursday, Sept. 27th was my Monday that week.
When I arrived at work my boss informed me that "John"* was promoted to sales manager. This is #BADNEWS! John acts like he thinks he's God's gift to the world. Personally, I think he suffers from a lack of self-esteem. He's also a misogynistic pig. He says completely
