The removal of Hydrogeologists and other geoscientists from the new UK Shortage Occupation list, namely, 'the immigration salary list for the Skilled Worker visa' is unacceptable, especially considering the current exceptionally high demand. gov.uk/government/pub…

The Seven Stages of climate denial:

1. It's not real
2. It's not us
3. It's not that bad
4. We have time
5. It's too expensive to fix
6. Here's a fake solution
7. It's too late: you should have warned us earlier

Trolls use all of these stages to deny reality of #climatechange

📢Our new paper in nature challenges the glacial aridity paradigm by showing that:

Ice ages (glacials) in the Southern Hemisphere subtropics were much wetter than previously thought, including the Last Glacial Maximum!

See long 🧵on why this matters!
