No, @nytimes.com (www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/m...), experts do NOT agree emissions reductions aren't adequate to prevent 2C warming.

You're using a false premise (see climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...) to justify potentially dangerous interventions (which take pressure off decarbonization)

Happy launch anniversary JWST!

The telescope launched on December 25, 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket from the European Spaceport near Kourou, French Guiana.

Thanks to the hard work of the people at ESA, JWST had a fantastic start to its trip out to its parking spot 1.5 million km away at L2.

Whoa.

That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.

With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.
