Efficiency isn’t one-size-fits-all. 🛑 We are calling for a smarter, more proportional approach:
✅ Account for local and technological realities, including #geographical conditions, flexible solutions such as evaporative cooling, and the water-carbon-energy nexus.

For folks who have never been to #Canada before - you need to know that it is a huge & vast country. Vancouver Island, where me & my immediate family reside, is the largest island on the West Coast of #NorthAmerica ( 31,285 km² or 12,079 mi²).
#VancouverIsland is larger than Belgium, occupied Palestine & Jamaica.
It's also 3x bigger than the island of #Hawaii & bigger than all the Hawaiian islands combined.
It's bigger than Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts & more than double the size of Connecticut.That's just one island in BC. Think of the entirety of #Canadian #geography & this island is only one small piece of it.
Canada is a really, really big place.

places.pub
I'm making an initial version of places.pub available today. places.pub is a collection of Place objects suitable for use in geosocial applications on the ActivityPub network. Part of my work in the Social Web Community Group at the W3C has been work in the GeoSocial Task Force. This is a sub-group of the SocialCG that is working on implementing user stories in ActivityPub related to the intersection of geographical systems and social networking, for example, tagging an image with the […] -

"Cardboard Empire"
Wobbuffet has a lovely, expansive post on the early history of geographical board games, with a special look at America's first board game, 1822's "The Travellers' Tour Through the United States" in which "whoever gets to New Orleans first, wins." A timeless goal, indeed!

Is Africa Splitting in Two? Really? Here's the Scoop
In the heart of East Africa, a #seismic #event is unfolding that could forever alter the #continent's #geographical #landscape. The notion of Africa splitting has the attention #scientists and #geologists worldwide, as the Great #Rift #Valley #stretches and tears at the #Earth's #crust.This dramatic #phenomenon is not the plot of a #science #fiction novel but a real and ongoing #process that may lead to the birth of a new #ocean reshaping Africa's boundaries over millions of years.

#Algeria: #Biodiversity in Algeria: breathtaking #natural #parks
Algeria is located at the junction of two vast #geographical regions: the #Mediterranean region and the #Sahara. The division of the relief into large, roughly east-west oriented strips accentuates the contrasts between the various #natural #environments that succeed each other from north to south.In the south, the Sahara presents a great diversity, ranging from vast, uniform expanses of rocky plateaus (hamadas du Draa) to depressions dotted with dunes (Grand Erg occidental, Grand Erg oriental), as well as imposing mountain massifs in the far south, notably the Hoggar, which peaks at around 3,000 meters.
In the north, in the #Maghreb region, two mountain ranges with marked relief surround the High Plateaus, where a few isolated mountains (djebels) stand above vast depressions, often occupied by saltwater lakes (sebkhas). The Tell region consists of small coastal or sub-coastal plains (such as the Mitidja) alternating with relatively low mountain massifs, but with steep slopes, mixing elements of old massifs (such as the Grande Kabylie) and fragments of folded, fractured, and uplifted sedimentary layers repeatedly during the Tertiary era.
Further south from the High Plateaus, on the edge of the Sahara, a second mountain range, the Saharan Atlas, features more regular folds in a rock mainly composed of limestone and marls.
A pleasantly temperate climate
The coastal regions benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters (around 12 °C in Algiers) and bearable summers (around 25 °C in the same city). Humidity is high and precipitation relatively abundant, with an average of 762 mm per year concentrated in a few months in autumn and spring. It rains more in Algiers than in Paris.
In summer, the weather is dominated by the influx of Saharan high pressure systems towards the north. However, from autumn to spring, the weather deteriorates due to the movement southwards in the Mediterranean of the temperate air flow or the arrival of polar air masses at higher altitudes, resulting in unsettled and rainy weather conditions in Algeria, with a drop in temperatures. These conditions naturally vary depending on altitude and geographical location.

In #Greece the storm #Daniel caused massive havoc with 750l Rain/Sq. meter in 18h.
Yet only 15people died. In #Libya the same #storm likely #killed over 10.000 people with only 414l. Of course #geographical, #political and #social circumstances are in part responsible, but a good #infrastructure to #warn people beforehand is likely the largest contributor. This is underlined by the heavy rain in #Germany in 2021 that killed 188 people with 90l/sqm.
To be prepared for the massive #natural #disasters that are heading out way due to the climate #crisis tools like #CellBroadcast and #Sirens are absolutely necessary to save lives.
Additionally we should strive to reduce #Co2 and save the #climate at any cost. It will still be cheaper than the alternative if we don't.#Crisismanagenemt #CivilProtection #climatechange #ClimateCrisis #disasterrelief #flashflood #emergency #emergencypreparedness #emergencyservices #emergencyalertsystem

Even though it's 2023 and I really want to be #minimalist on #clutter, I still have paper magazines + newspapers because as a kid I used to voraciously devour (and absorb information from) my parents' national geographics* and now one of my kids will literally read anything on paper lying around at breakfast, but if it was on a screen would end up watching YouTube instead...
*It's mostly the British #RGS #geographical magazine these days, plus various Danish publications.

What I still find interesting about working with #CityEngine is just how many non-urban & #geographical related professions/academics are interested in using it... example: a relatively local university I am going to training at: is it their Architecture or urban schools? Nope. Environmental Sciences....

In today’s publication Margherita Moretti and Cosmo Strozza present new evidence on #inequalities in #disability-free life expectancy (#DFLE) for Italians 65+. The same level of DFLE at the national level for women and men hides great #geographical and #social inequalities. 📄 https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol47/29/

If I win the #Lottery tonight.....
I'd set up #community ( #geographical communities) wide #cryptocurrencies and #ExchangeToken directories of what members in the community can provide and also what they #need.
I'd then encourage the conversion of the local church lawns to community garden spaces and the conversion of abandoned buildings to #hanging #HydroponicGarden s.
Because my #one priority all my life has been to figure out #solutions and to #Feed #people.
What would you do?
