85 years ago.
In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years.
He also suggested that man-made CO₂ emissions had caused around half of the observed warming.

Just read an article about chatgpt "lying" about someone being dead and it's like "I asked it for the link to the obituary but it doubled down on the lie and provided a fake link instead" and I'm begging people to understand that it's a statistical model, it doesn't know it's lying so it can't "double down". The statistically probably answer to "where is the link" is not "I'm sorry I made it all up", it's a link.

It's funny how all of Germany parties for a few days in a conventional carnival and then there is the southwest where people dress up in the nastiest wooden masks of devils and hags and beat onlookers with inflated pig's bladders.

Ich könnte kotzen.
Behörde lockert Umweltauflagen für #Tesla, hört zudem weder den lokalen Wasserschutzverband, noch andere Umweltverbände an. „Damit kann der Autobauer die Wassergefährdungsklasse für diese Gemische selbst einstufen, ohne Analysen vorlegen zu müssen.“ wie muss man da drauf sein? Machen wir doch einfach mal den Bock zum Gärtner.
