Human Brains are Now 99.5% Human and 0.5% Plastic

That is 7 grams of plastic. The weight of a plastic spoon or fork: has increased 50% in only 8 years.

As AI becomes more human-like, our brains become more plastic.

How many forks will kill us?

Climate Change Is Making Fire Weather Worse for World’s Forests

🧪 New research confirms climate change is a primary driver of worsening forest fires. The likelihood of extreme fire weather has doubled since the preindustrial era, contributing to a dramatic increase in burned forest area globally.

Bowhead whale faeces link increasing algal toxins in the Arctic to ocean warming - Nature An analysis of bowel samples from bowhead whales collected yearly from 2004–2022 indicates increasing algal toxin concentrations in Arctic food webs due to warming ocean conditions.

Warming seas in the arctic could see unexpected consequences as seen in this study of whale poo and algal toxins

Cold-air outbreaks in the continental US: Connections with stratospheric variations Extreme US cold linked to two variations of a stretched stratospheric polar vortex can explain a Northwest US cooling trend.

Despite a warming climate, bone-chilling winter cold can grip parts of the U.S. Researchers found that two specific patterns in the polar vortex, a swirling mass of cold air high in the stratosphere, steer extreme cold to different regions of the country.

Guest post: Calculating the true climate impact of aviation emissions The oft-quoted figure is that aviation accounts for around 2% of global CO2 emissions. Yet, the impact of aviation on the climate goes beyond just CO2 and its emissions have complicated interactions i...

"When all its impacts are taken into account, aviation represents around 3.5% of the warming impact caused by humans in the present day."

Aviation emissions are increasing because the elites are heavy users, and it's perceived as driving economic growth.

Rising military spending jeopardizes climate targets - Nature Communications Rising global military spending significantly increases CO2 emission intensity, potentially jeopardizing the 1.5 °C and 2 °C climate targets if military expenditure ratio exceeds critical thresholds.

Dear Climate Therapist: The future I imagine for my kids feels apocalyptic + people I love deny my concerns Caroline Hickman offers guidance on emotional fortitude and navigating relationships strained by indifference

I’m excited to announce that my Substack - Unthinkable - has started a new collaboration with @atmosmag.bsky.social to bring you the Dear Climate Therapist column. This one got a lot of traction because it speaks to what a lot of people are privately holding unthinkable.substack.com/p/dear-clima...

To the idiots harping about a "fertility crisis": maybe more couples would be open to raising kids in a world that wasn't being destroyed by science deniers, bigots, and fascists.
