  1. What makes Australia one of the safest countries in a doomsday scenario?
    By Michael Black

    From nuclear winter to asteroid strikes, Australia could be one of the safest places on Earth if, or rather when, a global catastrophe strikes. But researchers warn no country would escape unscathed.

  3. 2/2

    Sometimes it is fitting to compromise & accept second or third best in order to bank progress and build to the next policy ask.
    #politics #australia
    Other times it is necessary to reject policies that set a precedent & take us backwards, or that foreclose substantive action.
    #climatechange
    The Improved Native Forest Management (INFM) method is in the latter category. It sets a dangerous national precedent that extends far beyond the Great Koala National Park.
    #nature #trees
    No state government will ever again protect nature unless the polluters pay, and in turn the area protected will be managed to maximise carbon, not natural values.

    The devil in the detail:
    the definition of plantations in the INFM opens the door to more logging in Tasmania, not less.

  4. Two perspectives

    1/2 first

    “concessions that the Greens secured were meaningful, decreasing the amount of logging that could occur outside the park boundaries & enshrining the commitment of NSW Labor not to sell the credits to fossil fuel companies in federal law.
    #nature #trees #climatechange #australia
    Labor admitted for the first time that coal & gas should be treated differently, turn off the tap for the coal & gas industry.’”

  5. August joint hottest month on record as #climatechange and #ElNiño drive heat
    August was hottest month ever recorded, tying with July 2023, according to EU's #climate service.
    Driven by a combination of climate change and rising influence of El Niño, pushing heat into atmosphere across the Pacific.
    Temperatures for month were 1.65C above pre-industrial levels - surpassing the critical 1.5C threshold agreed by countries to avoid the worst consequences of climate change.

  6. 9/
    As anecdotal evidence, after recent exchanges with somewhat exasperated colleagues (note: the fields I'm referring to here are not #mathematics, but mainly #ComputationalModelling, e.g. in #EarthSciences, #ecology, #ClimateChange, ... or just simply their #PeerReview !)

    - There seems to be a growing prevalence of those who claim that it is obsolete (usual "left-behind syndrome"?) to do scientific/technical work without depending more and more on #generativeAI (allegedly without upper limits)

    @pluralistic
    "The reality is that we are going to have full employment for the next 500 years because we're gone have to move all the coastal cities .."

    Sounds more like first of all we are going to have to deal with a lot of fascists that will try to save their own skin instead of caring for the well being of all of humanity.
