Wer sich im Kampf gegen Diskriminierung auf “Neutralität” beruft, stellt sich auf Seiten der Diskriminierung, anstatt sie zu bekämpfen.

Canada’s wildfire smoke has now made it to Europe! Gives you a sense of how massive these fires are!
(N)ice clouds!

🛰️ TROPOMI and other, upcoming satellites offer the opportunity to check if these changes will indeed lead to the envisioned reduction in air pollution from ships.
Thanks to all co-authors for making this possible!
🛳️These findings are in line with in-situ, near-coast measurements and indicate that MARPOL ANNEX VI - which regulates ship NOx emissions - is ineffective in reducing air pollution.
In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has announced ammendments to the regulations just last week
In the paper we show:
1️⃣ It is possible to estimate individual ship emissions from space.
2️⃣ These emissions follow a pattern: Newer ships, which have to follow more stringent emission limits, emit more NOx
3️⃣ Emission factors are highest for ships sailing slow
Our paper 'Estimating NO𝑥 emissions of individual ships from #tropomi NO2 plumes' is now published online at

Oh? What was that? You want to know if titles are important in Germany?
Clouds darkening over NOAA research. We are slated for elimination in next years budget. Astonishing loss to the nation and the world if it happens.
Got some hail in Central Germany
NOAA staff members have been told to search their existing grants for terms that include “climate science,” “climate crisis,” “clean energy,” “environmental quality” and “pollution.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c... @nytimes.com
A line graph depicting the average number of days it took to install a gigawatt of solar energy capacity worldwide from 2001 to 2023. The vertical axis represents the number of days on a logarithmic scale, spanning from 1 to 1000 days. The horizontal axis indicates the years from 2001 to 2023. In 2004, the average time was about 1 year, which is marked on the graph. A downward trend shows significant decreases in installation time over the years. By 2010, it took under 30 days, and by 2015, just over 7 days. The most notable point is in 2023, where it dropped to about 1 day on average for installation. The data source is attributed to IRENA (2024), with calculation by Our World in Data, and the chart is identified as CC BY, indicating it is licensed for sharing and adaptation with appropriate credit.
In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day
The NOAA CO2 data website has vanished.

China built more solar power in the last 8 months than all the nuclear power built in the entire world in the entire history of human civilisation.
My PhD research reveals that current IMO regulations on NOx emissions are not achieving the expected reductions from newer ships. Our findings, along with insights from my colleagues, have prompted the IMO to reconsider these regulations.

Surreale Welt 🤯
- Heißestes Jahr seit 120.000 Jahren.
- Schlimmste Brandkatastrophe der USA.
- 🇩🇪 erreicht Klimaziel, weil die Ampel das Klimaschutzgesetz entkernt hat.
- CDU will zurück zum Verbrenner & Heizungsgesetz abschaffen.
- Klimaleugner Weidel & Musk einig: Hitler war links.
What a day 😳
Fair point.
Sounds like you need a thermostat and do some experiments. Added bonus: more Glühwein ;)
Pretty sure the idea is to heat up to below the boiling point of ethanol ;)
Pepernoten are by far the best culinary thing of the Netherlands! Can't believe I missed out for 26 years of my life
Just to say, if you are 30, more than half of all human fossil fuel emissions have occurred in your lifetime #dataviz

I am incredibly grateful to my supervisors, collaborators, and everyone who I could share this special day with. I am very happy with the results of 4+ years of work and hope the results will lead to a more livable planet.🌍🚢
I’m excited to share that last month I successfully defended my PhD thesis at Wageningen University & Research! 🎉🎓
