I always knew that I was living in a bit of a bubble in Ghent. Can you spot Ghent on the maps below? Ghent voted Green for European and Federal elections and Vooruit (centre-left/socialists) for Flemish Parliament. Images from De Standaard newspaper. m.standaard.be

I scanned the personal changes of the guests of @danieltmurray.bsky.social's #FiveDegreesOfChange podcast - because I'm always looking for inspiration.

The #1 personal change is in mobility (mentioned 29 times): fly less, cycle more, use public transport, drive electric, walk more...

📯 Small bit of news - the lovely gang at The People's Museum of Limerick have been good/mad enough to put together an exhibition of my work, launching on Saturday 27th April at 5pm. There'll be light refreshments, doodles, and me having a nervous breakdown in a corner somewhere. All welcome!

China's 2024 government workplan provides strong support for green industries and clean energy, but shows little urgency on meeting 2025 climate targets.

Last week, nature published an article on the environmental costs of generative AI (they are massive, and growing), but somehow that is not part of most conversations on AI. Including not in the article I linked to in the quoted post below.

I’ve rejected an invitation to review nearly everyday this year, and I can barely manage to carry out the reviews I have accepted to do. From the article: “With this ever-increasing number of papers…there just aren’t enough people available to continue to do free peer review for publishers”

This is a really interesting article: ‘Is ChatGPT making scientists hyper-productive?’ In this world, the publish or perish culture becomes more and more meaningless, and stretches (breaks?) the journal peer review publishing model.

I was asked to provide some reflections on contestation towards the European Green Deal in the context of farmer protests for Swedish SVT TV news. You can watch extracts from that interview here (from about minute 17, report in Swedish, French and English): www.svtplay.se/video/8WmbLQ...

68% of the world’s energy-focused degrees are oriented towards fossil fuels, and only 32% focused on renewable energy. Carbon lock-in is related to skills, funding and research, as well as to technologies and infrastructures. Great to work for a university with a strong focus in sustainable energy.

Haha, I can just picture you nodding! I do know the SSH team, they are great! A while back, I was part of their team on SSH for energy efficiency and we came up with 100 priority research questions (we had many, many more!), published here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My suggested changes: - meaningful integration of knowledge of social sciences and humanities into policymaking - shift to a more plant-based diet - prioritise investment in public services and infrastructure - civic and community engagement - serious climate risk assessment

This is a very dark hour for democracy.

Russia's most significant opposition leader, Alexei #Navalny has died in prison.

Putin's most vociferous critic, Navalny was serving a 19-year jail term for offences widely considered politically motivated.

I have been living and working in Belgium since 2008. Today, after several back-and-forth appointments, document gathering and translating, and many hours of Dutch language courses, I submitted my request for Belgian citizenship. Spannend!

That would be very interesting. This model that I’m reading about divides that up equally per capita 🤷‍♀️ But yours is a great suggestion on how the thinking behind a model could pivot to provide some new and useful insight.

I am not a modeller & I have a question: what is the added-value of models that show that we need to speed up energy transition to achieve climate goals because we are eating our carbon budget? I am genuinely curious - what knowledge gaps do such new studies fill? #EnergyTransition #Climate
