Sea level will rise fast even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C Satellite data shows the ice sheets are melting faster than expected and slowing sea level rise to a manageable rate would require lowering the global temperature www.newscientist.com/article/2480... docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Conventional "non-nuclear" world war will cannibalize current rates. Once the war is over "nuclear summer" from an aerosol-loss perspective will finish whats left with unprecedented warming. BAU will be no more ... nor will we.

What are microplastics doing to your brain? We’re starting to find out The average human brain contains around 7 grams of plastic, but it’s unclear how this affects us. Now animal studies are revealing links to poor cognition www.newscientist.com/article/mg26... docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I looked into this years ago along with other possible contenders. They are similar to Australia in the sense that they only want self sufficient immigrants, aka rich people, to enter. I'm good where I am. If civilization is truly ending, what difference does Titanic's deck chair selection make.

The observer effect is the phenomenon in which the act of observation alters the behavior of the particles being observed. This effect is due to the wave-like nature of matter, which means that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously.

Recent measurements of these particles at the LHC aren’t comforting. ...it has become clearer that the Higgs is – according to the standard model – metastable. “The measurements are now so good that we pretty much know that we are in that metastable range,” says Rajantie. bsky.app/profile/davi...

Remember TARP. At the time I was an Illinois resident and Obama was my Senator, not yet President. I called his office to voice my opposition to the bank bailout, and while on call I asked how the other calls were going. It was 90% against with 100,000 in volume for that day. He still voted in favor
