“ • Earth's pole has drifted toward 64.16°E at a speed of 4.36 cm/yr during 1993–2010 due to groundwater depletion and resulting sea level rise

• Including groundwater depletion effects, the estimated drift of Earth's rotational pole agrees remarkably well with observations…”

@steve sometimes I feel like I know a lot already and then I see a graph like the one in this post https://fediscience.org/@steve/110585281414232544

and I try to think about what would be necessary to change those Gigatons, it looks like a lot of change.

but if you read this , maybe its just 2,095 billionaires ? https://theconversation.com/private-planes-mansions-and-superyachts-what-gives-billionaires-like-musk-and-abramovich-such-a-massive-carbon-footprint-152514

The good news about the Titanic submarine situation is we’re going to start major search and recovery operations and rolling news coverage for each migrant boat incident, right?

In today’s “yikes” file for food and nutrition research:

New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to #obesity and #diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like #autism, #alzheimers disease, anxiety, and #depression.

We've pumped out so much groundwater that we've literally altered the spin of the Earth around its axis.

It's wild to me that there's currently so much panic & fear about what #AI *might* do to "destroy" humanity, yet - at the same time - so little attention to the way that human behaviors are already, knowingly, putting billions of people & global biodiversity at tremendous risk. 🌍 #climatechange

As bad as my week is going, at least I’m not trapped in a playstation-controlled tin can at the bottom of the ocean while 4 men contemplate killing me for more oxygen time. MY GOD.

Temperatures in England since 1884 – one hundred and thirty nine years on record. Quite the trend, for the last 30 years. An extremely worrying trend given the consequences of a "mere" change in 1 or 2 degrees Celsius in the average temperatures.

The #poppy field was too beautiful!!!

Big thank you to France, South Africa, USA, Portugal, Australia, & New Zealand for sending firefighters to Canada. We are grateful!

As I understand it, a federal judge who Trump appointed signed off on a search warrant issued by the Director of the FBI who Trump appointed and executed by a Department of Justice attorney who Trump appointed for violating a statute Trump signed into law.

But somehow, this is a democratic witch hunt?

It’s wild that not a single PH authority seems to be mentioning that masks, stockpiled everywhere, are an effective filter against forest fire smoke haze.

The damage done to society by treating conservatives like they have valid views on science is frankly unconscionable at this point. #cdnpoli
