Giving a prize on “sustained economic growth” in 2025 feels like celebrating the power of the Titanic’s engine after hitting the iceberg.

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.

This is simply false.

- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

The reduction in air pollution (aerosols, blue line) could lead to rapid slowdown of the AMOC.

Global warming from greenhouse gases (GHG, orange) causes the AMOC to weaken.

Aerosols more than compensated for that.
Now aerosols are reduced, we could see accelerated weakening!

posting this while Americans are asleep: these termites use magnetism to build mounds as a wedge aligned north-south, ensuring there's always a sun-free side and passively cooling the nest.

This means termites don't have to build tiny power stations and a tiny power grid to run AC

Дете ударено от ток в басейн. Дете ударено от ток на детска площадка. Дете загинало от парасейлинг. Дете в кома заради удар с АТВ. Лекар загинал в автобус заради влетяла кола през прозореца... Сега ясно ли е къде са ни приоритетните задачи? Иначе се проваляме вкупом.

Dr James Hansen talked about the Venus Syndrome (greenhouse effect is about +500°C! 🤯) and using the climate of Venus as an indicator of Earth's climate, which is now 'just right'.

We have decided to ban the use of GenAI for research, writing & creative work at our organization.

In fact, we make people sign an agreement saying that their research, analysis, writing, and creative work are *theirs* and not done by GenAI.
