05.08.2025 11:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Fair play to #foss4guk 2025: I will be giving a presentation called "Remote Sensing Sucks". I have my opinions, but what gets you worked up about modern EO and RS? It could be anything at all. Let me know and I might reference it in the slides :-) #earthobservation #geospatial #gis #rssucks

In a UK newspaper opinion piece today, Matt Ridley (climate confuser) says: "winter nighttime temperatures have risen faster than summer daytime ones"
Um, no, not for the UK which the article is about. In fact, the hottest summer days are warming 2x faster than coldest winter nights. Sigh.
Chart showing the global average land-sea surface temperature relative to a pre-industrial baseline, the 1861–1890 average Temperatures have risen by approximately 1.3°C since then (as a measure of climate ,the average over decades) Temperatures in the last couple years have been closer to 1.5°C.
Human emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are the main drivers of recent climate change.

I cannot say this enough: installing Fedora Sway has transformed how I interact with my computer and just makes everything more relaxing - the software is such high quality (I admit it might not be for everyone 😂) (fedoraproject.org/spins/sway)

If we choose not to act,
Or fail to adapt,
Then suffer we will.

21st June: #ShowYourStripes day
1) Download your warming stripes: www.ShowYourStripes.info
2) Use the graphics to start conversations about climate change risks, how you are already experiencing the consequences and what you are doing about it
3) Encourage others to do the same
Forget Reform and Tory voters. A lost cause.
With them out of the picture, look at those massive ratios in favour of rejoining the EU.
Low hanging electoral fruit? It's lying on the ground!
All it takes is the vision to seize it.

This new functionality for seasonal grouping in xarray is nice: xarray.dev/blog/season-... - In one of the talks I gave about xarray years ago (at @ajgwords.bsky.social's Rasters Revealed, I think) I was asked a question about the season grouping being N Hemisphere focused - now I have a solution!

I'm considering getting #drone pilot certified in the UK. Any software I use would need to work on Linux. I've found qgroundcontrol.com and www.opendronemap.org. Does anyone have any experience of these for commercial jobs and/or know whether using these would affect getting certified?

Landsat could use your support. The mission's 50+ year data continuity is at risk. If you believe contacting elected representatives does anything, now would be a good time to apply pressure. 🛰️📡

The Today programme asked me about zonal pricing, I told them it was a terrible idea. How does it make sense to fragment our energy market. Tens of millions of Britons could end up paying more for their energy than they do now.
