I'm trying out #qobuz as an alternative to Spotify: high fidelity sound is good even through small Bluetooth speaker. Quite like this intro playlist too. Good bend of familiar and new. Listen to the playlist An Introduction to Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/504746

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

I'm not quite up to date on the literature on this, but I imagine the massive reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions in China is much more likely a driver of recent high temperatures than some other suggestions (shipping, volcano mostly). Would be happy to be corrected on this.

True but. Tesla share price 1st March 2024 was $202 and five years ago it was $32- doubt they are shaking in their boots yet. Share price is a difficult metric to judge. (And no. I don't own any individual shares, though no doubt my pension fund does).

Head of section is currently on parental leave - and it's now you really see what he spends his working life doing. And it's not useless bureaucracy - it's really important! Managing scientists is a thankless task, but goodness I appreciate it.

This is truly shameful. Even China and Iran abstained. The US has put itself in the company of some of the worst states in the world - Russia, Belarus, North Korea. Hungary showing its true colours as Russia's Trojan horse in the EU as well.

Trump created a window of opportunity for the independence movement in Greenland. It now seems as if the process is spiralling out of control. Think #brexit but with broader geopolitical ramifications. Here is what is happening & how I predict the chaos to unfold. 🧵 (1/9)

This is unbelievable. Do they really believe that silencing one of the most eminent persons in climate research solves the problem? People will die when they silence weather forecasters and climate researchers.
