🧵🔴Why are our food systems, their people and environments so vulnerable? How can they become more resilient and help reduce future shocks?

There's a lawsuit about AI stealing your work. It's the same lawyers taking on Elsevier et al in a separate case.

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper on that is out today.🧵

All the Ways Heat Is Terrible for Your Health From kidney disease to mental health to deaths, more research is necessary to grapple with extreme heat worsened by climate change.

All the Ways Heat Is Terrible for Your Health

"In India’s financial capital – where 73% of all offices & commercial establishments are within 500m of a flood hotspot & 69% of all employees experience “hindered access” [..] trying to get to or leave work – forecasting the monsoon is fraught, essential & getting trickier with climate change."

I'm excited to announce this new paper we have in The Lancet Planetary Health.

We show that the world is not moving towards a just and ecological future for all.

. It establishes a progressive industrial policy framework to scale down harmful industries, organise production around public benefit, and achieve global ecological justice.

“When you sweat so much, there is cellular dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. We must pay attention to the humidity factor in our approach to extreme heat,” said Vidhya Venugopal, whose research area is extreme heat and health.

Ugh there’s this great paper taking this but within the climate x carbon space!!!

Swiss Re documenting changes in the IPCC’s language around the urgency and certainty of human-caused global warming:

“The study found with a high level of confidence that the global economy would be $28 trillion richer were it not for the extreme heat caused by the emissions from the 111 carbon majors.”

Have folks brewed their thoughts and takes on this study yet?

More than 80% of the world’s reefs hit by bleaching after worst global event on record An ashen pallor and an eerie stillness all that remains where there should fluttering fish and vibrant colours in the reefscape, one conservationist says

If we continue burning fossil fuels and warming the ocean, coral reefs will become a thing of the past.

Loooove that for you!

For me, if it’s a grilled sandwich—it clicks more.
Mine is a more conceptual cognitive non-clicking of sandwiches
Very subway-agnostic. I probably also lack the imagination to make a great fit for me.

I also don’t understand sandwiches. Which is probably why I struggle with subway
I don’t understand why everyone in the US is obsessed with Chana masala…there’s so much better indian food

Damn alright

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

“This is a fundamental tension of building a principled dissident culture—it risks wrapping people up in a kind of negative identity, a cloak of what they are not.”

“Having a community is a powerful tool of resilience.”

“They want us to be so afraid,” she said. “And the only way to counter fear is with joy.”
