New publication in Environmental Research Letters: overshooting 1.5°C then cooling back down does not undo the damage. We map where, for whom, and through what mechanisms temporary overshoot becomes permanent loss. Paper (OA): iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... 1/12
"Three stacked panels sharing a time axis. Top: global temperature rises past 1.5°C, peaks, then declines (the overshoot pathway), with a flat permanent-exceedance line at the peak for comparison. Middle: biophysical responses to the same trajectory diverge; some track temperature down, some recover with a lag, one keeps intensifying. Bottom: socioeconomic impacts of the same biophysical change diverge by adaptive capacity; high-capacity systems recover, while one crosses a dashed adaptive-capacity threshold and never recovers: the permanent overshoot legacy.

I’m not a scientist, I’m not all that smart or anything, but this is what I’ve been saying for years. “efforts to stop future heating are degraded because of lack of institutional capacity given increasing social, political, and economic disruption.”

1/ @support.bsky.team I like using Blue Sky for news and information. I’m exposed to a variety of opinions and perspectives across many sources. Often times, when I click interesting looking links, I am hit with something called a “pay wall” It is fair to ask me to pay for their hard work…

“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

The year of technoligarchy
In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

If a reporter can ask Trump directly if he wore a bikini at Epstein’s house it would make me very happy

After seeing screenshots of the Epstein birthday book, I can’t understand why there aren’t immediate calls for the president to step down. Everyone involved in hiding or obfuscating this information is complicit. JESUS F this is crazy wtf is going on here.

The trump is dead meme is like those sweet moments after buying a lottery ticket. Like know I won’t win, but the brief fantasy where all my dreams come true is actually maybe sorts possible this time. I’ll let myself drift off to sleep with possibility and potential in my dreams.

You can focus on the right wing toxicity of certain executives, but more fundamentally the platform enables a form of grossly unsustainable capitalism through drop shipping of disposable garbage sold through instagram etc. “All your stuff sucks. GET RID OF IT. Get this other useless shit instead!”

Today, Charles Gasparino of FOX said something very unusual. He said that "Wall street executives are finding out that a trade deal between India and US is close." For weeks now, I have been reporting how it seems Wall Street has been getting inside information regarding trade deals, and trading.

Thank you @dancarlin.bsky.social for the Common Sense. You clearly can understand the deeply emotional reaction we have up here to this 51st state nonsense. No matter how you slice it, it’s an attack on our freedom. This has been a deeply damaging betrayal.
