Very serious. Water is indeed life. Please read the paper or hear this 4 minutes summary. We need to be mindful on how we use water. We cannot survive on LLMs.

So glad you are safe! This senseless war needs to stop.

🌊 Our message to EU Environment Ministers: Europe urgently needs a strong #WaterResilienceStrategy!

We must prioritise nature over short-term fixes, hold polluters accountable, and above all, take a systemic approach 🤝

Let's protect people, ecosystems, and our future. Joint letter in comments ⬇️

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

ChatGPT Gave Instructions for Murder, Self-Mutilation, and Devil Worship OpenAI’s chatbot also said “Hail Satan.”

This is fine -dot- gif

Healthy environment a human right, UN court says in landmark climate ruling Court’s decision expected to be used in future litigation and to support political negotiations by vulnerable states

"Advisory opinions are technically non-binding but are considered authoritative because they summarise existing law...They are expected to be used in future litigation and to bolster political negotiations."

After a long campaign spearheaded by Pacific Islanders

Three key takeaways:
- Fossil fuel subsidies and licensing can now constitute internationally wrongful acts
- The 1.5°C limit is no longer aspirational - it's a legal obligation
- States cannot hide behind "concurrent causes" to avoid climate reparations

Just one more blaring klaxon letting everyone know not to use LLMs for anything

‘It feels cool to be a cog in change’: how doughnut economics is reshaping a Swedish town A casual mention of Kate Raworth’s theory has grown into the basis for decision making in Tomelilla

I understand that engaging with the news can be daunting but this one is a great example of a small group of people using doughnut economics to make their decisions. There are already other major cities doing this like Barcelona. Together we can do better! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I just read about the cancellation. I am stunned. We need more @stephencolbert.bsky.social we need more Late Show. I cannot comprehend this decision: it makes no logic sense!

I do not know. Are there studies on the vulnerability of young people to miss and disinformation?

Needles cruelty… no extra comments. So much that could be said. You know it.

Em muitos países legislação está a ser discutida a nível da cidadania e dos direitos daqueles que decidem mudar de país (por conflito, guerra, fome, etc). Em Portugal também. Portugal tem centenas de anos de experiência. Sei que vamos tratar de todos como gostaríamos de ser tratados. Assim seja!

This pattern is dangerous.

If not corporations it is wealthy individuals for investment. 1 case: 2 plots near us were bought. In a 1 way street kids use 2 go 2 school with 20 houses altogether he will now use as much space as possible to build 12 micro apartm. City council accepted. 6 family aprtm: No!He would have less $.

We have 37 panels and a 15KWhs battery. Our battery is installed inside the house in the cellar. I notice the cellar is now warmer. My question to you: is it better to install outdoors or indoors?

Every decision I make in my life from what I eat to what I buy and how I travel is permeated by this notion. The next generations depend on all of us.

Wow. In the Times? Wow! No fear of consequences? Wow again.

What? And not investigated?

‘A war of the truth’: Europe’s heatwaves are failing to spur support for climate action Voters may feel hotter summers are ‘too much’ but they appear to tolerate roll-back of policies to stop global heating

Our weather patterns are changing rapidly, increasing pressure on all systems, disrupting the food chain, threatening our survival. It is not political, but rooted in the laws of nature. We need to act fast: spreading disinformation is indeed dangerous. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Muita Força! O trabalho que está a fazer e muito importante. Um dia a maioria das pessoas neste mundo vão saber. Até lá: energia!

Heartbreaking! I cannot begin to imagine the suffering…

My point precisely. Water will become scarcer and we need it for life! So… consider solar? Wind?

People under trees in Lisbon

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C.

Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler.

Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

Why you should assume that even the simplest animals are conscious There is mounting evidence that even surprisingly simple animals, like invertebrates, have a level of consciousness - but not in the way you might think

Now we are talking - it's simple: without aims, preferences, memory etc. no animal won't be able to survive...

Instincts just ain't be enough...

Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

"The doubling of the energy imbalance has come as a shock, because the sophisticated climate models we use largely didn’t predict such a large and rapid change.

Typically, the models forecast less than half of the change we’re seeing in the real world"

#ClimateEmergency

"It’s easy to feel overwhelmed about the scale of climate change. There is a constant stream of bad news about rising temperatures and extreme weather.

What I hope System Update shows is that there is no end of ideas for how such an outcome could be averted, & how you could put them into practice"

And how to process and safely store what remains from production? Or has this been sorted now? & the water needed to cool the reactors? Or is cold fusion already there & I missed it? Is it true that much faster & safer are wind & solar? I am not an engineer…hence these genuine questions!

Wow. Where are you? Plums? They all look delicious.
