Atmospheric rivers, while vital for replenishing water on the U.S. West Coast, are also the leading cause of floods though storm size alone doesn't dictate their danger. A groundbreaking study analyzing over 43,000 storms across four decades found that pre-existing soil moisture is a critical factor, with flood peaks multiplying when the ground is already saturated.

 

[In Hague] the march estimated the peaceful crowd at more than 150,000 people. Local media put the numbers closer to 100,000.

In neighboring Belgium, around 75,000 people, many of them also clad in red, hit the streets in the capital Brussels, police said. Several rallies have been held to draw attention to Israel’s actions in Gaza, but Sunday’s was the biggest rally so far.

According to another source:

  • In Brussels, where protesters were also calling for action from the EU, turnout was estimated at 110,000 by organisers and 75,000 by police.

Εγώ πιστεύω κ το άλλο κομμάτι, δικό μας είναι.

Η νεοφιλελέ εκδοχή του καπιταλισμού που ζούμε στις μέρες μας, έχει εξαγοράσει όλο τον πολιτικό κόσμο. Οι κυβερνήσεις δεν νομοθετούν για το καλό των ανθρώπων, αλλά για το καλό των πολυεθνικών. Δλδ αν εμείς οι απλοί άνθρωποι, δεν πιέσουμε για ουσιαστικές αλλαγές, ποτέ δεν θα γίνουν πράξη.

Ναι, γίνεται ανακύκλωση απλά είμαστε πολύ κάτω από το μέσο όρο της ευρώπης.

Πιστεύω ότι είναι σημαντικό κ να κάνουμε ανακύκλωση αλλά κ να υιοθετούμε συνήθειες που φροντίζουν το περιβάλλον. Το ατομικό επίπεδο βέβαια από μόνο του δεν είναι σε καμία περίπτωση αρκετό.

Το πρόβλημα ξεκινάει από την παραγωγή. Πχ: Γιατί η οδοντόκρεμα που είναι ήδη σε πλαστικό σωληνάριο, να είναι μέσα σε συσκευασία από χαρτόνι κ να έχει κ πλαστικό να προστατεύει το χαρτόνι; Γιατί τα βερίκοκα να είναι σε πλαστικό κοφινάκι κ να έχουν κ διχτάκι γύρω-γύρω. Γιατί τα αναψυκτικά να μην είναι όλα σε γυάλινες κ μόνο συσκευασίες; Σίγουρα όχι για περιβαλλοντικούς λόγους. Αυτό που λέμε οικονομία είναι μάλλον ότι πιο σπάταλο έχει υπάρξει στον πλανήτη.

This article is not really about mathematical talent. It mentions that stereotypes might be reproduced by attributing success in girls to diligence and in boys to talent, but it's about mathematical ability.

At the start of the first school year (when children are five or six years old), there are no differences, on average, between boys and girls in mathematical ability. But after just four months, boys have pulled ahead. The gap widens throughout the year.

In that case, adding /s at the end of the comment helps a lot to clarify its tone

The Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides (COSIG) brings together 27 freely available resources that explain how to spot image duplication, citation manipulation, plagiarism, tortured phrases and other hallmarks of paper mills — businesses that produce fake papers to order. The guides also provide tips for reviewing papers in specific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, statistics and computer science.

“A lot of people assume that you need some special talent, you need eagle eyes to see things, or you need to be at your computer ten hours a day looking through the scientific literature. But really, anybody can do it,” says Richardson. “That’s one of our mantras.”

 

Industry’s calls to relax reporting requirements come as lobby groups seek to capitalise on the European Commission’s new mandate and strategy of “competitiveness”, “security” and “simplification”.

The Commission is in the process of amending multiple sustainability reporting laws through a collection of policy proposals known as the “omnibus package”. While the methane regulation is not yet included in this, InfluenceMap’s research suggests calls to “simplify” the policy show how industry groups are pushing to include it in order to weaken climate action.

For me, this is beautiful because thanks to the many rows, we can access more stuff in just one click.

I don't know how anyone would feel about the following, nor how easy or difficult it would be to implement something like that, but I'll say it anyways. I was wondering if we could somehow access all these in one click, instead of two. Meaning, what if these lists were on the sidebar? Or perhaps create a new, narrower sidebar on the left side? Possibly, them having the option to collapse as well?

Just some thoughts and thank you for everything.

That was fast! Thank you

I am not really sure I understand what you mean. Of course 0.5°C is very important, but to my understanding, the Paris Agreement is really not going as planned.

As the official deadline passes for countries to submit their revised Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, only 13 of the 195 parties have done so. Alarmingly, this group includes just five developed countries, which are required to lead the way on climate action.

Under the Paris Agreement, every country must update its national climate action plan every five years. These NDC plans outline how nations intend to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This year’s submissions should extend their new NDCs to 2030 and outline new objectives for the period up to 2035, setting the tone for a decisive decade of climate action.

It looks like the IMO's pledge to reduce emissions by at least 20% is totally feasible. At least according to the following recent study

Reducing travel speeds and using an intelligent queuing system at busy ports can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oceangoing container vessels by 16-24%, according to researchers. Not only would those relatively simple interventions reduce emissions from a major, direct source of greenhouse gases, the technology to implement these measures already exists.

Maybe so, maybe no. It's not predetermined.

It's what we do now that will shape the future. I mean, we the people. We cannot rely on governments or corporations to do the right thing without us forcing them to. By now, we know this.

So, I believe that conversations about solutions are more fruitful than deterministic statements, no matter how highly upvoted these statements are.

I thought of adding this article too, because it looks like there are Some Hopeful News About the Future of the World’s Corals.

Much has been learned about heat-resistant corals in the last decade. Village by village and beach by beach, reef restoration is progressing.
