I think there is a strong argument that the lost decade for climate action is not the 1980s but the 2010s. (the 2020s now being beyond lost, obv.)

A less-discussed impact of Trump's dismantling of NOAA is on weather forecasting in other countries. I know India's meteorological department actively collaborates with NOAA and uses its data and models. Please get in touch if you are a scientist from a country that uses NOAA services #JournoRequest

I beg to disagree, for example generative AI can come up with original nonsensical ideas such as "vegetative electron microscopy" 🙃 retractionwatch.com/2025/02/10/v...

DOGE's new AI, built to scan federal workers' emails to see if they get to keep their jobs, is the latest in a number of AI schemes from Musk. We might scoff at how dumb these ideas are, but the truth is, they're not even supposed to work. They're built to eliminate accountability.

If I were to write SF now, I'd set it in a world were the digital is just AIs producing content for other AIs to process, while humans have reverted to largely analogue communication and organisation, because digital tools are so polluted now.

If the reviewer is an AI, it's only peer-review if the manuscripts were AI-generated as well.

Who’s gonna tell them that one of the motivations for the US to push for the establishment of the IPCC, back in the 1980s, was so that governments could rein in the scientists who were starting to be a little too loud?

Germán Vergara’s Fueling Mexico stands out as the first energy history of a country from the so-called Global South. From energy scarcity in the 1800’s to oil becoming Mexico’s lifeblood, the book presents a fascinating case study of Mexico. Click here for more: tinyurl.com/2xuwp237.

Did Elon Musk get his ideas from this book??? www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

Elon is one example of how energy/climate policy that ignores justice can have horrible unintended consequences. Obama-era energy policy helped concentrate untold wealth into Elon's hands. He used it to manipulate the 2024 election ($44B Twitter buy-out, $250M+ direct spend) and now here we are.

Since I was already in the neighborhood, I decided to visit the Museum of mineralogy. So many fancy rocks! It’s just a shame that my adventures as an ethnographer of mining only ever taught me to appreciate less charismatic minerals such as hematite and magnetite 😅

I'm waiting to hear confirmation that NOAA's Global Monitoring Laboratory website has *intentionally* been taken down. It has gone offline temporarily for various reasons over the years that I've been monitoring it.
