Francesca Albanese speaks for us all, when she speaks of “shame” at not being able to do more:
‘Palestinians 🇵🇸 have suffered so much’
‘Genocide not just in Gaza but also the West Bank🇵🇸’
‘Israel 🇮🇱 wants to erase Palestinians from the river to the sea’

I see the people who love nothing more than to incite political violence are really upset about political violence again.

Here is my main opinion on AI, in every capacity: What is the point of technology? Is it to make our lives better and easier, or is it to make a very small percentage of people richer? The latter is what AI is doing. The people actually doing the coding are making themselves redundant.

I definitely enjoy that blue sky seems to have a more rational user base than the other place where it's easier to keep up with science news on various topics (especially climate and ecology) but does anyone else miss dealing with the idiotic trolls and misinformation shills sometimes?

From Plass's article
"We shall be able to test the CO2 theory against other theories conclusively during the next half-century....
"if carbon dioxide is the most important factor, long-term temperature records will rise continuously as long as man consumes the earth’s reserves of fossil fuels."
"We shall be able to test the CO2 theory against other theories conclusively during the next half-century....
"if carbon dioxide is the most important factor, long-term temperature records will rise continuously as long as man consumes the earth’s reserves of fossil fuels."
![Sixty six years ago, on this day, July 1st, 1959, Canadian physicist Gilbert Plass has an article in Scientific American about … carbon dioxide build-up.
During the past century a new geological force has begun to exert its effect upon the carbon dioxide equilibrium of the earth]. By burning fossil fuels man dumps approximately six billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year [as of 2025 it’s about 40 billion tons]. His agricultural activities release two billion tons more. Grain fields and pastures store much smaller quantities of carbon dioxide than the forests they replace, and the cultivation of the soil permits the vast quantities of carbon dioxide produced by bacteria to escape into the air.
And
We shall be able to test the carbon dioxide theory against other theories of climatic change quite conclusively during the next half-century. Since we now can measure the sun’s energy output independent of the distorting influence of the atmosphere, we shall see whether the earth’s temperature trend correlates with measured fluctuations in solar radiation. If volcanic dust is the more important factor, then we may observe the earth’s temperature following fluctuations in the number of large volcanic eruptions. But if carbon dioxide is the most important factor, long-term temperature records will rise continuously as long as man consumes the earth’s reserves of fossil fuels.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4sjlde4fw4624jwbyzd4s75g/bafkreigmteedsnoyje43sbjsrhhvh62zfxhm3zixg3qwwamig3a3hxniq4@jpeg)

When you realize the current administration secretly believes in all the climate science, and then you see them gutting research on chronic and terminal diseases, and you finally put two and two together, it’s dark stuff. They really don’t think we’re going to be around much longer.

🌊 Did you see the coverage last week of the paper led by Chris Stokes about long-term sea level rise from polar ice sheets?
It took me a while (cos, y'know, feelings), but here's my take on it: ▶️ youtu.be/sa9h_zVM1RY

We’re heading for tens of metres of sea level rise

Fascism is the handmaiden of the #ClimateEmergency
In a future world of increasing disasters and diminishing resources the elite want control and they don't want to have to take care of the masses. It's no accident the R wing movement is increasing across the globe.

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?
