Mite, freddo e poi ancora mite. L'aria di origine artica che affluirà sull'Europa centro-orientale, sui Balcani e sulla Turchia lambirà anche l'Italia portando un netto calo delle temperature da domenica. Caratteristiche dell'evento, almeno per la nostra penisola, saranno: brevità e secchezza. 1/5

The Vatican was excluded from the tariff list and Italy is at the 20% EU rate. I hope some scheming cardinal sees the opportunity here.

Did you know that 2/3 of all energy we use ends up as waste heat because of how inefficient our energy system is? Yet we pay for 100% of the energy inputs. Here’s the US as an example.

The fact that we are still having this conversation 🙄 It is an indisputable fact that burning oil, gas, and coal has released a massive amount of CO2 which is increasing Earth's temperature at an existentially dangerous speed. Anyone who says otherwise is a) wrong and b) ignorant or getting paid.

Whenever I post about climate, skeptical folks inevitable respond with this graph. So I decided to do something radical: actually read the underling scientific paper and ask the authors. As it turns out, it actually says the opposite of what skeptics claim: www.theclimatebrink....

What troubles me about Columbia, an institution I was associated with for 34 years, is that the actions of the Trump administration serve as a test case for future pressure on other universities, many of which lack the resources to fight. Things are gonna suck for academia in the US.

As batteries & electric motors continue to improve, we're just beginning to see what's possible in electric aviation. newatlas.com/aircraft/ele... We'll probably always need hydrocarbons to fly across oceans and continents. But hybrid & fully electric aircraft can do a lot more than some think. 🔌💡

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

New from me! I spoke with real federal auditors about what an actual audit looks like. Spoiler: what DOGE is doing is not it. "In no uncertain terms is this an audit. It’s a heist, stealing a vast amount of government data.” @wired.com www.wired.com/story/federa...
