mostly the same as this name anywhere — fascinated by earth and related-science. So far this is more of a science account and the sfba one is more of a personal account, but there will always be sloppy overlap.

I spent a long time experimenting with AI before finally writing about it in depth. It can be pretty useful — but is it worth it?

When I boil it down, I find my feelings about AI are actually pretty similar to my feelings about blockchains.

READ: It’s a pretty big deal when this KEY MESSAGE is in Scientific American. It suggests a bigger tipping point. “We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent: Reducing the need for car travel is better for health, the environment and public safety.”

Desert city of #Dubai flooded.

This wasn't cheap or poorly designed infrastructure, Dubai is too vast and has too many drainage channels for it to be an infrastructure problem

Dubai received over 200mm/9inches of rain in less than 24hrs. That more rain than some monsoons

Dubai is also a DESERT

#ClimateChange is real.

On the other side of the Arabian Sea, #Pakistan is facing currently floods as well

Young people under 18 will still need approval by a guardian, a doctor, and the National Board of Health and Welfare.”

Montrose Search and Rescue: "Today, our team responded to a vehicle over the side call on Angeles Forest Hwy at MM 19.36. The vehicle was about 300' over the side. By the time our unit arrived on scene, the patient had self-extricated and was on the roadway. The roadway was wet and slick. This weekend, we have had two other weather-related calls. One hiker was suffering from exposure in the snow and two cyclists needed to be rewarmed by us. When the weather is excessively cold, hot, windy, rainy, etc, please reconsider your plans to visit the wilderness. "

Can Climate Democracy Defeat the Oil Curse in Ecuador?

As the country faces economic and security crises, the oil industry and its supporters in government are pushing to disregard the vote to indefinitely stop drilling in Yasuni National Park.

Global Stockpile of Is Gone as Outbreaks Spread
Doses of cholera vaccine are being given to patients as fast as they are produced and the global stockpile has run completely dry.
Three new vaccine makers are setting up production lines. Current maker's efforts are “heroic” to expand its production.
Yet even with all this, global supply of vaccine that will become available this year will be, at best, a quarter of what is needed. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/health/cholera-vaccine-shortage.html

For anyone thinking #ClimateChange is too large a problem to solve, it should come as good news that 80 percent of recent CO2 emissions are generated by a mere 57 companies.

If/when we raise the collective will to solve this problem (which is no easy task, to say the least) we can acheive dramatic reductions by targeting a handful of #FossilFuel companies.

I'm genuinely not sure if we'll solve our #ClimateCrisis, but I know that we can.

Keep hope, keep fighting.

Video proof: An adviser to US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admits the goal is not to get RFK elected. Instead, the goal is to bleed votes from Joe Biden and get Trump elected.

Wow. What money can buy in America — it really has no limits.

Neat! I love learning about the history and evolution of languages, and how they physically moved around the globe. This is cool!

First languages of North America traced back to two very different #language groups from Siberia

“The linguistic evidence is consistent with two population strata defined by early coastal entries ~24,000 and ~15,000 years ago, then an inland entry stream beginning ~14,000 ff. and mixed coastal/inland ~12,000 ff. The dominant structural properties among the founder languages are still reflected in the modern linguistic populations” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24923
