In aviation, why do they use nautical miles and not aeronautical miles? 🙃

Greenwashing is illegal now. Great news!

Well it happened again. A task I procrastinated for 3 months has been completed in 5min.
Please clap.

We now *know* what to do to stop climate change.

Project Drawdown has analyzed trillions of data points, spent tens of thousands of hours, and has done the hard work to find evidence-based solutions.

No more handwaving. No more greenwashing. Just science.

And we're giving it away for *free*.

Globally averaged CO2 concentration (a) and its growth rate (b) from 1984 to 2024. Increases in successive annual means are shown as the shaded columns in (b). The red line in (a) is the monthly mean with the seasonal variation removed; the blue dots and blue line in (a) depict the monthly averages. Observations from 179 stations were used for this analysis.

Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s.

It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling.

Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

Reviewer #1: Thank you for your revised manuscript with thoughtful ideas.

Reviewer #2: I recommend against the publication of this study.

Reviewer#2 strikes again 😂

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

YouTube video by New Economic Thinking Philip Mirowski - Why Is There a Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics?

It's Nobel Prize week! A good time to remember that the economics prize was created by Swedish bankers in 1968 (67 years after the 5 original Nobel prizes) against the wishes of the Nobel family, partly to legitimize neoclassical economics in the public eye and partly to help banks avoid regulation.

The Collapse of Confidence in Carbon Capture | OilPrice.com Carbon Capture and Storage, once seen as a lifeline for the oil and gas industry, is facing mounting doubts as delays, high costs, and poor performance cast serious doubts on its future viability.

The jig is up for CCS and DAC.

Thanks, I will look into it then!

@kevinjiskircher.com is there a european version of this study?

That's pretty much it!

Have you looked up how swiss universities are funded? Especially eth and epfl.
Or maybe don't look up...

When we pitch, it's AI
When we hire, it's ML
When we implement, it's linear regression

Amazing work here highlighting the need for more demand side energy managent on the residential scale 👇 congrats @kevinjkircher.com and team!!

No biggy, just your regular high speed train with stopover in Paris 😂

This is just sad.

Yo Austin,TX connections-if anyone is looking to rent an awesome house in the Hyde Park area, DM me.

Rule#1 for pick up and drop off at our local 🇳🇱 school: cars are not allowed 😍

What a stark contrast to what we were used to in TX.

This is the way.

Thanks, you should stop by if you can!

As I have moved to 🇳🇱 now, this account will henceforth be an urbanism account.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. -Carl Sagan (1934-1996) in his 1995 book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
