Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?” Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.” Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

Home cooking and minimally processed foods best for weight loss, study finds Dieters in trial lost twice as much weight when avoiding ultra-processed ready meals with as much nutrition

Curiously eating home cooked food from raw ingredients is better for your health and gives more reliable weight loss than injecting yourself to try and offset the impact of eating ultra processed food.

Maybe we should prohibit party donations globally. And then maybe, if political parties have to get their income from members' contributions, the world would be a different place.

We are turning Earth into a unlivable Hot House Earth
Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.47 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2024 than in the late 19th-century (1850-1900) preindustrial average.

The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

¿Hasta qué punto conocemos la relación entre el cambio climático y las olas de calor? Aunque sumamente avanzados, los modelos actuales que permiten simular los fenómenos atmosféricos todavía tienen carencias.

Una ola de calor que antes ocurría cada 20 años, ahora ocurre cada 2. Esa es la huella del cambio climático.

Commissie oordeelt snoeihard: Nederland is juridisch verplicht Israël aan te pakken Eigen ambtenaren raadden minister Veldkamp aan om een adviescommissie in te schakelen over Israël en Gaza, maar die deed dat niet. Nu ligt dat advies er alsnog.

Hopelijk dringt het nu door: door Israël actief of passief te steunen, overtreedt Nederland zijn verplichtingen onder het internationaal recht. Daarmee is het land medeplichtig aan ernstige schendingen van het humanitair oorlogsrecht, inclusief oorlogsmisdaden en genocide.

We keep getting messages saying climate change is a hoax and the world is flat. Is it 2024?!

Historical model biases in monthly high temperature anomalies indicate under-estimation of future temperature extremes - Communications Earth & Environment Models tend to underestimate mean monthly maximum temperature anomalies by 2-3% and extreme anomalies by 11-12% over the period 1980 and 2023, which could lead to temperatures 3 °C to 5 °C higher than...

Climate models have underestimated the departure of high temperature extremes from monthly means.

If we assume these model biases persist in future projections, then the climate models are also likely underestimating the magnitude of future high temperature extremes.

- Des limitations de vitesse <=30
- De nouvelles infrastructures pour les piétons et les cyclistes, notamment un réseau complet de pistes cyclables s’étendant sur plus de 1500 kilomètres
- Un réseau de transports publics avec des bus décarbonés et autonomes, et une nouvelle ligne de tram.

I'm going to have to try that next! The roasted chickpeas are great for the "munchies" 😅

Turns out I like roasted chickpeas 😃 super easy to make too!

"EU-Wälder versagen als Kohlenstoffspeicher
Aufgrund der verstärkten Abholzung kommt es häufiger zu Hitzewellen und Dürren, Insektenbefall, Stürmen, Baumsterben und häufigeren und heftigeren Waldbränden."

Such a surprise 🤷🏻‍♂️

How a false solution to climate change is damaging the natural world | George Monbiot George Monbiot: In growing maize for biogas, the crop that does most damage to the soil is being specifically exempted from the rules

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social’s warning about maize, also used for biogas.

We seriously didn’t encounter a single insect in 170km of cycling through rural Brittany, heavily focused on maize.

Deeply worrying.

Only on day 3 as we rode on disused railways, spared from Roundup™️, did we spot a few.

Beaucoup de monde, et définitivement les médias.

La France s'apprête à renouer avec la même configuration météorologique qu'en juin : des températures de 35 à 40+°C sur de vastes territoires dès le 6 août (après trois semaines particulièrement favorables à la croissance de nos cultures).
