Whether it's sincere or bad-faith, it is pretty simply true that AI-mania is providing an easy rhetorical cover for the US government actively worsening the use of fossil fuels

The White House is offering “concierge, white glove service” to oil, coal and other fossil fuel companies that are seeking to gain fast approval for their projects, according to an energy official, while simultaneously slowing down or blocking solar and wind projects.

Brittany Kelm, senior policy adviser for President Donald Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council, detailed in an August podcast how she and the council work to advance fossil fuel projects. Trump established the committee in February with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum as its leader.

“We’re like this little tiger team, concierge, white glove service, essentially,” Kelm said. “We were put together very particularly with the president’s priorities in mind on energy. So keeping coal plants open, establishing critical mineral mining domestically and then that broader supply chain.”

Kelm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

White House spokesperson Kush Desai said that the administration is ending former president Joe Biden’s preferential treatment for green energy projects and “war” on mining and fossil fuels.

“The American people gave President Trump a resounding mandate to ‘drill, baby, drill’ and unleash the power of American energy, and the Administration is committed to doing just that,” Desai said in a written statement.

National Energy Dominance Council Executive Director Jarrod Agen said in a sta…

Also growing some of your food might be fun. And buying some of your food from a farmer you know can also be great.
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
Absolutely. And at the same time a vision and a blueprint for ag in 2050 would be valuable in guiding adaptation.

Just added it to my "Up next" -list. Very timely, I've been trying to wrap my head around this the whole year 2025. What happens, when we miss 1.5 C? By how much?
What kind of food system will work in 2050?

Excellent, well-informed new podcast! Like a ship entering a storm, we’re now entering the overshoot - a world above 1.5 degrees C #globalwarming. This requires a whole new mindset,

The @metoffice.gov.uk use weather station observations to reconstruct changes in UK average temperature since 1884.

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social produce the ERA5 reanalysis which reconstructs global weather every hour back to 1950 using a weather forecast model.

Their estimates agree. Just sayin'.

Siinä on joskus aiemmin ollut pulmaa referenssinäytteen ominaisuuksien muuttuessa ajan yli. En tiedä onko nykyinen menetelmä enää niin ongelmallinen tämän suhteen.
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
Veikkaan, että oli eri standardi vertailussa tms. Se on kyllä outoa, että suunta vaihtui.
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
Vuosivertailussa virusmäärät edelleen alhaisia. Saa nähdä, onko mitta-asteikko muuttunut menetelmäpäivityksen myötä, vai onko tämä vasta talviepidemian alkua. 2/2

Se on #pandemiaPerjantai ja vähän myöhässä oleva @thlfi.bsky.social #SARS-CoV2 #jätevesi datan analyysi. Oli vähän hässäkkä päivä.
- Nyt tapahtuu taas, reipasta nousua kaikkialla, eli tulokset vipattavat edestakaisin
- Joko menetelmähämminki tai uusi variantti 1/2 🧵

So the big CO2 peak was the flight, the second the crowded reception. Otherwise good air quality.
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
Guess which were the high COVID-19 risk events? (Otherwise the air quality in the Nordic Agroecology Conference has been great. )

Ja Viruseptin iota-karragenaani nenäsumute myös varsin pop. Näkymätön hengityssuojain.

Vinkkinä FFP2 ja FFP3 maskit ovat osa jopa aika mukavia. Etenkin Lifa Airin oli hyvä, mutta firma meni nurin.
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
Siinä oli aikamoinen työ-tautologia. Ehkä toistelu on osa politiikan retoriikkaa.

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Thanks, that explains. I had not known that the common bean was a major combine harvestable crop, but of course it had to be to be a global commodity. Interesting thing with the poor N fixation.
lissaharris.bsky.social
they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass:

all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff

stop burning stuff for heat

stop burning stuff for make car go

stop burning stuff for power

we have the tools

Ja maksu mieluiten ihan ruokana.

Yritän tässä penkoa, miten käy ruuan hinnan, jos tuotanto tippuu yllättäen kymmeniä prosentteja. Nyt on nimittäin ylijäämää ja sitten jos mennään alijäämän puolelle, hinta voi pompata.

Great layout! 👍
The digger might compact the soil to 60-100 cm, so also important to record for further field studies when the experiment ends. Here's a terranimo.world simulation
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
I hope you georeferenced the location of that digger. No tracks, small tyres. If the soil was not bone dry, it is now compacted deep. Might take decades to recover, influencing further experiments.

We found here, that combining the faba bean with undersown ryegrass worked well. The ryegrass took up the extra N and enabled harvesting clean beans. After harvest the field looked like a mown grass lawn.
tuomasjmattila.bsky.social
Just making sure you are talking about the same bean? Faba bean, Vicia faba? Requires a lot of moisture, grows a long time, usually nice to harvest, but if does not ripen, just keeps on growing to a 6 ft high mess. One of the best combine harvestable N fixers around here.
