NASA Fieldwork Studies Signs of Climate Change in Arctic, Boreal Regions
The Arctic is being affected by climate change more than most places on Earth. In the summer of 2022, a NASA campaign investigated permafrost thaw, methane emissions from lakes, and the effects of wildfires in Alaska and northwestern Canada.Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

" I was heartbroken by the devastation I saw, and it hit me that this is my calling ā the kind of work I must do. If I can contribute in some way to the research on severe storms, I owe it to storm victims to devote my skills and energy to help.Thalia Patrinos (NASA)
āI have sympathy for anyone in our county who is concerned for our services or their own future, but terrorising victims of war and torture is unforgivable. Our politiciansā rhetoric of hate and division is destroying our society and our British values. My greatest concern is whether the police can keep the people in this hotel safe both tonight and in the future.ā

Far-right protesters clash with police at Merseyside hotel housing asylum seekers
Three people arrested as witnesses say police van set on fire and counter-protesters surroundedDiane Taylor (The Guardian)
Here in the U.K. we witnessed a horrific and violent protest outside a hotel housing refugees in Knowsley, Merseyside. Police barely managed to keep the 'protestors' outside the hotel. They were intent on doing harm to people whose only 'crime' was being refugees.
This morning we are still waiting for any kind of statement from Prime Minister Sunak or Home Secretary Braverman.
Perhaps they are still deciding whose side they are on?
This will come as no surprise, but last night's violent far right protests in Knowsley, U.K. were promoted freely on social media.
Facebook has groups like 'Hotels Housing Illegals' and Twitter has accounts like Yorkshire Rose(Get The Migrants Out).
All of these groups were promoting violent disorder and hate speech last night, and are celebrating violent disorder and hate speech this morning, with no consequence.
There are laws against this.
But where is the accountability?
Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.
But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earthās atmosphere warm its #climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

Earthquake Relief: Hereās How To Donate To Turkey And Syria

The hashtag #deathcult is a highly charged but uncontroversial characterization of #neoliberalism.
The #hashtag was coined by #hamishcampbell on his blog (hamishcampbell.com) from long expirence of protest, this came to a head at the launch of Extinction Rebellion (XR) a global environmental activist movement that seeks to raise awareness about the urgent threat of climate change and biodiversity loss.
In their view, the political system is driven by a destructive #ideology that prioritizes short-term gains over the well-being of future generations and the environment.
They argue that this approach is unsustainable and will lead to the collapse of ecosystems, mass extinction of species, and severe impacts on human societies, such as food and water shortages, displacement, and conflict.
Introducing my hobby coding project since xmas:
Mastotron!
It's a different interface to Mastodon, replacing the mindless "feed" of most social media with a network map of conversations and recent and popular posts.
š You can download it here: github.com/quadrismegistus/masā¦ š
There's easy, double-click installation for Mac and Linux; Windows is a bit trickier for now.
This is b new, so bound to be bugs. But if you can, give it a whirl, and let me know if it works and what you'd like to see!

"For many creators, the question of whether they can use something seems so simple, but can be really hard to figure out. Until recently, a lot of that data has been locked away in these public records."
"...locked away in these public records" is a mind-blower in itself.
