Conservation Biologist. Tooting about #science #ecology #sustainability #evolution #psychology & whatever subject takes my interest.
Empiricism aims (intentions) are to promote accurate evidence-based information. The general theme of this account is related to promoting #sustainable development. Sustainable development requires mitigating ecological degradation therefore also mitigating #ClimateChange & its associated drivers such as pollution & habitat degradation. This account will not “sugar-coat” the required level of changes needed for humanity to reverse the trend of human-caused ecological degradation.
Historically, & presently, climate change is mitigating humanity (e.g., increases in the frequency & intensity of heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, sea level rise, flash floods, pathogen outbreaks, etc)
Since no one person be informed of all the scientific literature, if a reader thinks that Empiricism makes a statement that is not backed up by the general scientific literature, please refer Empiricism to the relevant peer-reviewed science publication (e.g., paper or website)
Because a Mastodon instance can close down without warning or a Mastodon admin can suspend an account without warning - Empiricism regularly backups the “follows” & “followers” lists. Therefore, if Empiricism can not access this account (e.g., a suspension means the account can’t be moved to another instance), Empiricism will open an account on another Mastodon instance & re-follow the follows list and contact (e.g., direct message) the follower's list (e.g., requesting if people would like to re-follow)
I use The Empirical Perspective blog on WordPress as a digital signature - so that people can be more confident that it’s the same “Empiricism”

Liberty has started legal action against the Home Secretary. She is due to sign off protest restrictions she has no power to create.

Well done Big Issue for raising a topic hardly ever covered 'Local Housing Allowance', which caps how much Benefits will cover the rent, leaving Claimants to find the money or more common go into arrears. LHA frozen since 2020 and is limited theoretically to the lowest 30% of properties in a local area. A huge source of homelessness as Benefits not covering the full cost of rents unless you get lucky and find one low enough.

Sorry. We can't touch the subjects your referring to on Mastodon. The mods have a habit for suspending user accounts if anyone feels or feigns offence.

I've been thinking about clothes pegs and the vast superiority of wooden pegs. We dry our clothes on a clothes line and have a box of wooden and plastic clothes pegs.
The plastic pegs degrade in sunlight and eventually break. They'll fill a landfill or break into microplastics. Meanwhile, sunlight keeps rot off the wooden pegs and with regular use they may out last me. If they break, the wood can be tossed in the garden to rot.
Why are plastic clothes pegs even a thing?
The paragraph appears to suggest that scientists are the problem. However, without the science cultures would not even know there was a climate problem.
We need a culture that forms it's ideas using the evidence. Lay people don't know how to do that.
For example, show me the empirical evidence (nobody can) that suggests "spiritual" is based on reality ( folk belief isn't evidence)
Since they don't have "royalty" to wave their flags at.....

This spells disaster for any hopes of having a large network of charging stations accessible to all #EVs anytime soon. And it's pitiful to leave the charging connector standard up to Elon and his whims instead of a standards committee.

Fossil bones found in Laotian cave are oldest evidence for modern humans in mainland South-East Asia, say scientists - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-06-14/oldest-evidence-for-modern-humans-in-mainland-south-east-asia/102471990
They say the bones, some of which are dated up to 86,000 years, are the oldest examples of modern humans (Homo sapiens) found in South-East Asia, pushing back the known arrival time of our species in the area.

George Soros propaganda is heavily on display at the Miami courthouse today. A good opportunity to remind #MAGA that #GeorgeSoros disinformation is Russian, antisemitic propaganda that's been around for decades.

Every American must now understand that Kremlin collusion with the Republican Party is happening out in the open. It is not being hidden, and candidly has not been hidden since 2016. Any *disinformation* the Kremlin creates to help Trump beat Biden the GOP will promote. *Period*.

Usually hard to spot in the forests of northern Scotland, the Red Squirrel is famous for being shy, except for this sub species. The rare show-off Circus Squirrel, captured here pretending to be in a tight rope act.

I've lost too many people to suicide, so I take that shit very seriously. #TheTrevorProject estimates that more than 1.8 million #LGBTQ youth seriously consider suicide each year in the U.S. — and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds.
Think about that for a minute. These are young people who see how much HATE there is in this country for 'their kind' and they decide it's just not worth it.
Homophobia is not just an 'alternate point of view.' it's EVIL. #PRIDE 🏳️🌈

The #Antarctic sea ice departure has actually grown in the last few days.
Summary of the related atmospheric drivers, like the Amundsen Sea Low, can be found from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2023/06/springing-into-summer/. Interannual variability is very large!
Data from: https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index
More graphs: https://zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-ice-extentconcentration/.
More media coverage: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-31/antarctic-sea-ice-hits-another-record-low/102391534 and https://www.wired.com/story/antarctic-sea-ice-is-at-record-lows-is-it-an-alarming-shift/
But, on the flip side, at least the USA democracy is sufficiently functioning so as to investigate the rich & corrupt.
Generally, Trump & Co gaslight their own followers by accusing others of corruption (when they're the general corrupting influence).
For example, Trump accusing others of being a danger to democracy, when Trump has financial backers from fascists that want to break democracy.
