  1. #ElNiño-Ereignisse sind in den vergangenen 40 Jahren deutlich stärker ausgefallen als vor der Industrialisierung.

    Forschende rekonstruierten anhand von #Korallen aus den #Galápagos-Inseln die Entwicklung über rund 1.000 Jahre.

    Die Ergebnisse und #Klimamodelle sprechen dafür, dass die jüngste Verstärkung sehr wahrscheinlich mit der menschengemachten #Erderwärmung zusammenhängt.

  3. Reason is a biological product -- a tool whose power is inherently and substantially restricted. It has improved how we do things; it has not changed why we do things. The more fundamental "why" element is driven by instinctive self-preservation, emotional needs, and cultural attitudes. We are usually reluctant to admit the extent to which these forces govern our behavior, and accordingly we often recruit reason to explain and justify our actions.
    -- Donald B. Calne (Within Reason: Rationality and Human Behavior)

  4. My theory is that as the world improves, expectations rise even faster, leading to the persistent illusion that the world was better in the past. The only time the illusion is punctured is when a society is successfully digging out of a very big slump.

    "#Scientists examining underwater cliff ecosystems onboard #ResearchVessel #Falkor (too) using #ROV #SuBastian, have discovered 2 pristine #CoralReefs in the waters surrounding the #Galápagos. These newly identified #ColdWaterReefs are situated at depths ranging from 370 to 420 meters. The discovery expands our understanding of #DeepReefs within the #GalápagosIslandsMarineReserve"
