“The fact that [scientists] accurately predicted these horrific consequences we’re experiencing right now should give us reason to pay more attention to what they’re warning about if we don’t change.”

I learned about this site/project at a the @climaterealityproject.org workshop I'm attending today, which provided independent, monthly, asset-level monitoring of every emission type, globally. I like the action “help me decide” on what data you want to download climatetrace.org/data

We make meaningful climate action faster and easier by mobilizing the global tech community to track greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with unprecedented detail.

Reflections on Ten Years Past The Snowden Revelations
This memo contains the thoughts and recountings of events that transpired during and after the release of information about the NSA by Edward Snowden. There are four perspectives: that of someone who was involved with sifting through the information to responsibly inform the public, a security area director of the IETF, a human rights expert, and of a computer science and law expert. The purpose of this memo is to provide some historical perspective, while at the same time offering a view as to what security and privacy challenges the technical community should consider.
