E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

I really hope Americans can push back on all of these things, but so much is happening at once. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...

Is the planet losing one of its best ways to slow climate change? The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose last year at the fastest rate on record. The spike has scientists worried that more and more carbon is coming from natural sources.

The proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere grew at a record 3.75 ppm last year -- a jump 27% bigger than the previous record increase.

The best explanation: forests and soils are so stressed by climate change they're losing the ability to absorb our emissions.

Ditching of Facebook factcheckers a ‘major step back’ for public discourse, critics say Mark Zuckerberg’s decision regarding Meta platforms condemned as ‘a full bending of the knee’ to Donald Trump

WTF Meta?! Not sure why, but I expected more from Zuckerberg. Content moderators have become too ‘politicised’ and people want a more ‘personalised’ approach to content moderation? This step is playing into the hands of hate www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Yeah, I keep getting booted off the site and I've been trying for an hour at least.

FYI - problems with #AOM2025 submission so they've given an additional 7 hours for submissions

Yikes! I guess the first step would be to figure out how much of it seems generated, and what the uni policies are? AFAIK the Russell Group principles on Gen AI is a bit bland saying that some use is okay; but copying and pasting the whole thing would probably trigger an academic misconduct process

Yeah, I feel the same when I see people put their recycling in black bin bags (rendering the whole lot contaminated). But I also stockpile some speciality recyclables and take a 40 min bus ride to the council recycling centre - I know it's irrational to expect everyone to care this much

You're mixing up comprehension and caring, intelligence ≠ diligence
