252 Million Years Ago, Volcanoes Released This Much CO2. Humans Did It 200x Faster
It’s not how much carbon was released, it’s how fast
252 million years ago, Siberian volcanoes caused Earth's biggest extinction.
But humans now release CO₂ 200x faster than those ancient eruptions
It's not about total amounts, it's about speed.
Volcanoes: 0.02-0.13 gigatons/year
Humans: 36 gigatons/year

La responsabilidad de los multimillonarios en la crisis climática no es tanto por las emisiones asociadas a su forma de vivir, de comer o de viajar como por las decisiones económicas y políticas que toman o en las que influyen.
Es el poder, no el consumo.

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds
When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.
Eight Sleep smartbeds users had a bad night on Monday when a major outage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) caused their beds to malfunction. Some were left with the bed’s heat blasting. One woman said her bed went haywire and she had to unplug it from the wall.

Las mujeres afectadas por los cribados piden a la Fiscalía que investigue la desaparición de historiales médicos
El presidente de la Junta anuncia el cese del jefe del servicio de Radiodiagnóstico del hospital Virgen del Rocío, donde se concentran el 90% de los retrasos en el diagnóstico
Es gravísimo esto. Y aún pide el muy sinvergüenza del Consejero de Salud que Amama respete a la Sanidad pública andaluza, siendo el gobierno andaluz del PP el primero que la pisotea: Las mujeres afectadas por los cribados piden a la Fiscalía que investigue la desaparición de historiales médicos

Agarrado a una barandilla
Madrid, marzo de 2020
No debemos olvidar lo que fue la pandemia, lo que pasó en nuestras vidas y en las residencias, y darnos cuenta de que necesitamos una sanidad pública fuerte, y no una que esté contra las cuerdas como es la actual en muchas comunidades autónomas
