- Summary: A new study led by Canadian federal scientists found that emissions of organic carbon from Alberta's oil sands are up to 6,300% higher than reported, making up the majority of Canada's organic carbon emissions. This discovery is significant as organic carbon pollutants contribute to fine particulate matter and gases like ozone, which have major health and climate impacts. Past monitoring has overlooked volatile organic compounds associated with heavy oil deposits. With an estimated 1.7 trillion barrels of oil, the Alberta oil sands account for most of Canada's oil production and a significant portion of its carbon pollution. The researchers emphasize the need for improved monitoring and reporting of organic carbon emissions to accurately assess the impacts of oil sands operations.

You can’t get much more remote than the Chatham Islands, a bumpy plane ride 840km east of Ōtautahi. A group of Te Pūnaha Matatini investigators visited this special place to connect with the community and the taonga species that make their islands unique https://www.tepunahamatatini.ac.nz/2024/01/26/wings-webs-and-wonders/

gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Ugh. Evangelist born-again christians managed to squeeze their little self-righteous selves in and started performatively praying at people. And for some reason most people around here get upset if I treat those like other pests.

Of course, any hint of confrontation and those little dew-eyed professional victims go positively tumescent at the prospect. Martyrdom and persecution-fanfic religions are so weird. Is it a blessing or a curse that I'm stuck in the one most notable for it's adherents utter devotion to being everything their book preaches against and not having the decency to feel shame nor the common courtesy to kill themselves for their god. Hypocrites.

TIL the largest Celtic coin hoard in the world (at least 68K coins) was discovered by Richard Miles & Reg Mead with a metal detector in Jersey, a British Island, in 2012. The owner of the field the pair found it in only allowed them to search it once a year, after 30 years their patience paid off.

Thinking about this little machine, it's situation is not ideal but it's still hanging on, waiting for that day when the sun finally reaches it's panels.
I think a lot of us back on Earth can empathise with this robot's predicament

Solar Flares could cause disruptions to radio and GPS signals around the globe following a solar storm over the weekend.

The flares are just now making their way to Earth after the storm. On Monday, flares caused a radio blackout over both poles that lasted for hours, and other disruptions were felt near the Pacific coast.
