In addition, there are now several studies showing that you also have to interrupt driving, and make it less easy. Because with the best will in the world, why would somebody who habitually gets in their car for every trip even notice a free bus, let alone make the effort to learn to use it?

His works are characterized by a "sedimentation" of color; he does not apply it uniformly, but rather gradually deposits it with thousands of small touches, creating vibrant surfaces that call for pointillism.
Hier, liebe Männer, ein Beispiel für jemanden, der nicht in das ,but not all men‘-Gejammer einsteigt und dem trotzdem nicht der Penis abfällt:
Dirk Peglow (Vorsitzender Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter) empfiehlt Frauen, besser keine Beziehung mit einem Mann einzugehen, um sich vor Gewalt zu schützen.
Many govts hope capturing carbon from power plants burning wood will cause "negative emissions." New Nature Sust. paper today finds this likely increases emissions for decades, generates no negative emissions within 150 years, and increase electricity costs ~3.5-fold.

“And while I absolutely do not want to go back to that old hardware, I do wish we had carried more of [...] the instinct to batch work, to cache the right things, [...] to be suspicious of convenience when convenience sends a bill to the user.”

"The data shows that men care less about climate change than women… ‘Petro-masculinity' refers to how fossil-fuel consumption is wrapped up in being manly, and similarly, how you gotta eat meat to be a man...
We need to articulate what a nontoxic, earth-loving, care-giving masculinity looks like."

Much as I love my employer, a flagship state institution and one of the best universities in the world, they lack the lean nimbleness to implement programs like this.
This is one of the most fascinating and under-appreciated figures of the recent IPCC AR6 report (Figure 6.16). It shows the effects of a single year of emissions after 10 and 100 years, and really illustrates the difference between stock and flow pollutants: www.ipcc.ch/report/a...

A watercolour-style illustration depicting a sleek, red and white high-speed train, labelled "EU Holiday Express in the making," speeding out of a swirling, abstract representation of the blue European Union flag with its yellow stars. In the background, there are snow-covered Christmas trees and picturesque, snow-dusted houses. The EU logo is also visible in the bottom right corner.

More speed, more options, more time for YOU.
While many are winding down, Europe is gearing up: a major high-speed rail plan is set to transform travel by 2040.

Some good points in this article on how inefficient and environmentally harmful it is to produce food from livestock, and on the potential of new tech like precision fermentation. But for me too much emphasis on the need for protein (we're overconsuming) and on expensive/risky nuclear power.
Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.
Dry soils lose more carbon when warm
Warmer temperatures + drier soils = more carbon released from the ground.
Soils contain more carbon than the atmosphere and plants combined, but drought can boost microbes that decompose it, releasing CO2 (less carbon stored).

It's always something like this and never something like 'use AI to check whether a manager is sexually harassing a subordinate'. (Which, to be clear, is not a great idea either; my point is these tools are mainly seen by management as a way to exert tighter control over labor.)

"Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men.
This isn’t a guess. It’s the finding of a Harvard Business School meta-analysis examining eighteen studies, over 140,000 participants, across multiple countries."

An infographic from Our World in Data titled "Global land use for food production" uses a series of stacked horizontal bar charts to visualize the distribution of Earth's surface and the disproportionate land requirements of livestock. The first bar shows Earth's surface is 71% ocean and 29% land (141 million km²); the land surface is then broken down into 76% habitable land, 10% glaciers, and 14% barren land. Of the habitable land, 45% (48 million km²) is used for agriculture, while 38% is forests and 13% is shrubland. The agricultural land bar reveals a major disparity: 80% (38 million km²) is dedicated to livestock (meat, dairy, and textiles) including grazing land and cropland for feed, while only 16% is used for crops for direct human consumption and 4% for non-food crops. Finally, two smaller bars at the bottom contrast this land use with nutritional output, showing that while livestock uses 80% of agricultural land, it only provides 17% of global calories and 38% of global protein, whereas plant-based foods provide 83% of calories and 62% of protein.
80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein.
16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists.

If you want to research or even just learn for yourself about "Social Media, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, WhatsApp, or Twitter," then yes, unfortunately, it's almost impossible to do that research externally. This is a big reason why Bluesky's open ecosystem is so exciting to me!
How complex should network models be?
🚨 In our latest paper we quantify (if and) when higher-order interactions are informative versus reducible to pairwise structure without losing functional signal (e.g., diffusion behavior).

This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication.
I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵
Ah, das ist sehr wichtig:
Erstmals verhängt die EU-Kommission eine Geldbuße gegen eine Social-Media-Plattform aus den USA - und zwar wegen Verstößen gegen den Digital Services Act
