🚨New paper alert 🚨

I'm excited to announce that our open-access paper "The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979" is now out in @CommsEarth: nature.com/articles/s4324…

Thread of the main results:

1/13
We report that the Arctic has warmed four times faster than the globe in the last 43 years.

The four-fold Arctic amplification (AA) ratio is higher than what is generally reported in literature and media.

2/13
One reason for the higher ratio is that we defined the Arctic properly (with the Arctic Circle, 66.5°N), and calculated the trends since 1979 when satellite data became available.

With these parameters, the observed AA ratio is 3.7-4.1, depending slightly on the dataset.

Hi shorebird folks! 1more4U2go! Migratory shorebirds connect. Movements, presence & phenotypes signal the state of habitats. Let's develop tracked individual migratory birds as sentinels (of connected parts) of Earth. #ornithology #globalchange @WaderStudy

Recently, 100 units of fossil energy produced 104 energy units of food, thanks soil-based processes. Now, 100 units fossil energy yield 16 food units, the 84% loss equals release of CO2 & active nitrogen threatening climate & biodiversity. #globalchange #dairy

Looking at scale of a country then, steep decline of specialized #dairy #farmland #wader, black-tailed #godwit (#grutto) in Netherlands signals growth of unsustainable, climate & biodiversity threatening, practices in agriculture. #globalchange @WaderStudy
