"To grasp the exponential nature of renewable energy rollout, consider that a total of 1GW of solar was deployed globally in 2004. Last year, the same amount was added every 12 hours". From today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social

I can´t get my head around how people bet, cash in, and look at themselves in the mirror and be ok with those dollars in their pockets after betting on a military intervention of this size. Imagine the following scene:

Poverty and vulnerability are not the same thing. Both are a complex problem. A collective effort to help understand these and think beyond the market vs state limited perspectives

The same people who deny that releasing 40+ billion tonnes of chemicals annually into the atmosphere changes our climate think that an airplane spraying a few tonnes of chemicals into the atmosphere definitely does. I want the world to be less stupid, as well as less evil.

This is just 0,21% of the solution!! Is it scalable? Should be scaled? "All the carbon credits sold last year claimed to offset a combined 84mn tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Compare that with last year’s global CO₂ emissions of more than 40bn tonnes." www.ft.com/content/199d...

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Just hoping someone is starting to collect the data to replicate this one, almost a century later

That little black spec on the right hand side of this infographic is the total budget of the NWS. How is eliminating positions that exponentially increase economic dividends through enhancing commerce and mitigating/preventing disasters saving money or eliminating waste/fraud?

Wanted: Zoom feature where people write a short bio that pops up when you hover over their name or square on the grid. Partly, I'm forgetful, but it might also substitute for spending the first 20% of a meeting on introductions, with clumsy handovers between participants.
