Stop all negotiations on marine geoengineering

For example, with ocean fertilization that will cause algae bloom,
research has showed that there could be the problem of harmful algae bloom which can cause toxicity and death of marine organisms or even render the aquatic ecosystem hypoxic by creating dead zones

This has been a bad week for authoritarianism.

A good week for democracy.

So Dems keep control of the Senate, and the House may end up 1 or 2 votes down (or up). If this isn’t a repudiation of Trumpism — its belligerence, bigotry, nastiness, and election-denying dangerousness — I don’t know what is.

Researchers are looking for a ‘master switch’ that could change your body in space.

I've created a new visualization to better compare the losses of #Arctic sea ice volume at the annual minimum and annual maximum times of year. I'll update this seasonally at: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-figures/.

+ Data from http://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volume-anomaly/.

The Victorian government announced the protection of this old-growth forest, satellite data shows within days it was being logged https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-13/our-vanishing-old-growth-forests/101641964?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=twitter&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

The answer to this question is summarise in the figure below that was published here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-021-00842-z

Quoting: "We show that the per capita carbon footprints can reach several hundred tons of CO2 per year, while the majority of people living below poverty lines have yearly carbon footprints of less than 1 tCO2."

In summary, the 10% top emitters contribute about 50% of global CO2 emissions.

Good day for wind, not so good for Ireland’s energy importers.

We're looking for academics/PhD students who've recently migrated from Twitter to Mastodon, are currently doing so, considering it, or who don't intend to. We're interested in finding out about people’s opinions on migration & the differences between Twitter & Mastodon. If you wish to take part in our online focus group, please complete our initial survey https://lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_enXPA3rLdSdJsCG, which also includes further information about the research. Please boost! 🔁

Conservatives are both a smaller percentage of Canadian society and lack the institutional advantages the American system stacks the deck for Republicans with. Southern rural states have a veto over the progressive majority due to the electoral college and a senate system divorced from population.

The fury of our rural conservative provinces is that they don't have the politically engineered veto over social evolution that their rural American cousins do and consider that grotesquely unfair.

Today I learned that it’s World Kindness Day.

Such a lovely thing to celebrate.

Such a shame that it’s only one day a year—and that there’s a real need to remind people to practice a core ethical value.

❓ As a follow-up to the last survey:

Where do you stand on the subject of:

Feel free to #share / #boost the post, we'd love to get as broad of an opinion as possible!!

These two things don't quite go together...

From Joe Biden's speech at #COP27: "Let's reach out and take the future in our hands and make the world we wish to see, that we need to protect for generations to come."

One week earlier, from a White House briefing: “Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year.”

Wait, what??

The colors provide an approximate indicator of global mean surface temperature anomaly over the time period. Deepest reds correspond to where we are today (about 1.3°C above pre-industrial). For the actual temp. anomaly plot, here's Berkeley Earth

#BoostedPosts below relate broadly to #TwitterMigration, and do not reflect a position on #MigrationIssues. #MastodonCulture is precious. The influx of #NewUsers is disruptive. Hopefully sharing a wide array viewpoints and guidance with understanding and kindness will #help #NewUsers make a positive contribution and minimize harm.
