  1. Hi mastodon folks, we thank everyone that has supported us. You favourite, boost and donation has brought tremendous progress towards raising funds to support Mr. Kajuba Peter through the drought. We have now raised $123 and still need more $134 to make our goal a reality. We still need your push to bring food on Mr. Peter's table for three more months. Any form of support is highly valued.

  2. Here's the BBC's In Depth reporters on the real science behind Richard Tice's claim that it is clean air policies that have cause the recent heatwaves.....

    The science of climate change, as always, is more complex that the Far Right seems able to grasp (or perhaps care about understanding).

    In the end, the key take-away is that our models of climate change may be underestimating the speed of environmental & weather changes...

  3. OpenAI has apparently solved climate change: destroy the competition, shut everything down, and make a call for emissions reduction.

    Scientists are still checking the claim’s veracity.

    Meanwhile, Anthropic’s CEO was reportedly spotted on a remote island with Sam Altman.

  4. Another nasty feedback enhancing climate change. Arctic glaciers hold bakc a bunch of ancient methane stored in the rocks beneath the ice. The more glaciers melt, the more methane they are likely to release.

  5. Cities In Great Britain Most Vulnerable To Extreme Heat Revealed
    (OS index examines which ‘urban heat islands’ suffer the most – and which cope the best with rising temperatures)

    “[The H/T] work[ed] … closely with Ordnance Survey (OS) on new research into which of Britain's cities are most vulnerable to retaining extreme heat, and how that vulnerability shifts between now and the turn of the century as record temperatures continue to climb…
    The newly commissioned OS Heat Vulnerability Index scored 71 cities across Britain using #4EI satellite temperature readings, @Met Office climate modelling projections from 2040 to 2100, and Ordnance Survey data on the makeup of natural and made environments in our cities. Put together, it measures how global warming will impact future heat vulnerability, and how urban heat islands form; a process in which hard surfaces absorb solar radiation through the day to keep centres warm overnight, while rural environments cool.
    Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to stand on a Tube platform or walk through central London this summer, or tried to sleep through a heatwave in a flat that hasn't cooled in months already knows what retained heat feels like. But it's more than an uncomfortable feeling. Extreme heat is claiming an increasing number of lives each year, and location-based intelligence like this is essential to support decisions on how we effectively mitigate and protect against climate change to save lives and protect critical infrastructure.
    What this analysis does is put a number on extreme heat, and shows where it's heading. As Britain's climate continues to warm, the capacity of our cities to cool themselves naturally will only matter more…”

  6. The mountain section whose collapse triggered fatal floods in Nepal and China on Aug. 26 had experienced unprecedented heat for the time of year, meteorological data analyzed by a researcher shows. japantimes.co.jp/environment/2 #environment #climatechange #climatechange #nepal #glaciers

  7. Fresh from his latest dinner with gas lobbyists, the Prime Minister Reckons "Now Isn’t the Time to Talk Climate Change" — That’s Bullsh*t!

    "Labor has betrayed us all when it comes to climate action.

    With the impacts of climate change becoming impossible to ignore, we must act urgently.

    No more coal and gas. It's that simple."

  8. This is an absolute tragedy. #climatechange is having a huge impact on any form of outdoor physical exertion. The #physiological impacts of heat and humidity are really well understood, but we need to take this seriously because it is going to keep happening if we don't immediately adapt how we approach physical activity in the heat nytimes.com/athletic/7575354/2
