"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits."

Vaccine skeptic is not a thing, in the same way that climate change skeptic is not a thing. They’re science deniers and they’re gonna get a lot of people killed.

They want to close the NOAA lab (GML) that brings you this, the most iconic time series in the environmental sciences.

gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

$A scientific line graph titled “Atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa Observatory.” The graph displays the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) mole fraction measured in parts per million (ppm) from the year 1958 to 2025. The x-axis represents the year, ranging from 1958 to just past 2020. The y-axis represents CO₂ mole fraction in ppm, ranging from 310 to 430. The data is represented by a jagged red and black line that shows both seasonal fluctuations and a long-term upward trend. Key observations: CO₂ mole fraction starts at around 315 ppm in 1958. The graph shows a steady upward trajectory, with seasonal oscillations (up and down) superimposed on the trend. By 2025, the CO₂ level exceeds 420 ppm.

The date "2025-June-05" is printed vertically on the far right edge of the image.$

This morning, the only country to ever use nuclear bombs on cities, alongside the only one with undeclared nukes outside the NPT, dropped the world’s biggest bomb on a state with no nuclear weapons, under the strictest monitoring, and a signatory of the NPT. #noIranWar

European Commission @ec.europa.eu · Apr 15

In 2024, Europe was the world’s fastest-warming continent.

It had its hottest year on record, impacting an estimated 413,000 people. Sea surface temperatures also reached new highs.

As our planet heats up, urgent action is more critical than ever.

Two circular maps of Europe from the "European State of the Climate Report 2024" by the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. The left map shows temperature anomalies and extremes in 2024, with most of Europe shaded in red tones indicating warmer to much warmer than average temperatures. The right map displays precipitation anomalies and extremes in 2024, with much of western and central Europe in shades of blue indicating wetter than average conditions, while eastern regions show brown shades representing drier conditions. Colour scales at the bottom of each map range from "coolest" to "warmest" (left) and "driest" to "wettest" (right).
