Polish conservatives split ahead of 2027 election – POLITICO

This weakness in the polls is likely to be exacerbated by the split, as conservative and nationalist voters…

“LSM-TS provides annual global estimates of ambient population from 1975–2024 at ~90 m resolution, creating a spatially and temporally consistent reconstruction of population change designed for longitudinal analysis. Reconstruction of historical populations are driven by current LandScan Mosaic building-level population distributions, scaled by built-surface change from #GHSL … and calibrated to annual national-level estimates from U.S. Census Bureau…”

“LandScan is a globally recognized, R&D100-winning population data platform developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Its datasets provide human population distribution estimates down to 100 meter grid resolution. LandScan supports disaster response, humanitarian aid, environmental analysis, and urban planning by providing insights into where people live and how they move…”

“Gridded population data support assessments of human exposure, settlement change, infrastructure demand, and access to services, yet global datasets combining annual coverage over multiple decades with fine spatial resolution remain limited. LandScan Mosaic Time Series provides 50 annual estimates of global ambient population distribution at 3 arc-second resolution from 1975 through 2024. The series is anchored to the 2024 LandScan Mosaic surface, produced through a building-level population modeling workflow. Historical surfaces are reconstructed using annualized changes in built surface and derived first-level administrative population trajectories. Every layer, including 2024, is normalized to administrative targets scaled to annual country totals from the U.S. Census Bureau International Database. The dataset is distributed as 50 single-band Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs on an identical WGS84 grid, with values representing estimated persons per cell. Its common grid and methodology support fine-scale longitudinal analysis of ambient population distribution while documented validation and limitations guide appropriate reuse…”

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A new paper links the 2007 #iPhone launch to declining #US birth rates, finding 4.5-8% drops among 15-19 year olds in areas with early iPhone access.

The researchers suggest #smartphones may reduce in-person socializing while increasing access to #porn and birth control #information. Skeptics note that teen birth rates were already falling since the #1990s.

Long-form read: A community's elders made a promise over a millennium ago so the community can survive, but keeping that promise is dwindling the community's numbers.
