So, yeah, turns out the fear people have about nuclear waste comes from cartoons or straight up misinformation. In reality, spent fuel should be the gold standard for waste management. It’s the only industry that knows exactly where every ounce of waste is, and it stays safely contained. Try saying that about any other type of waste.

@PaulHBeckwith @nickhedley So much simpler to invest that money in restoring the capacity of ecosystems to sequester carbon by rewilding and conserving nature

Scientists Will Engineer the Ocean to Absorb More Carbon Dioxide A research consortium plans to revive geoengineering trials of the controversial iron fertilization technique to pull carbon dioxide from the air, despite public backlash scientificamerican.com/article/scient…

Average person right now

@dorfman_p Does that include efficiency in land-use footprint?

International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) AR6 2023 Summary Report: Renewables 10 times more efficient than nuclear at climate mitigation. Case closed.

gpt-6 will have the intelligence of someone who decided not to get a PhD

GPT-5 confirmed to confidently try to complete 11 tasks simultaneously then email you 6 months later explaining it’s had a mental breakdown

Obviously the solution is that we need more good toddlers with guns to stop them.

Mexico just elected a PhD-holding engineer and climate scientist as their first female president. Meanwhile in the U.S. the options are the oldest whitest guys ever served up and include a rapist, a liar, a criminal and a stooge.

After nearly 50 years of commercial use and more than $83 billion in investment, there are only about 40 large-scale facilities using carbon capture tech. Combined, they capture 0.1% of global emissions. The tech has been too costly to scale. - Bloomberg

Why is there always money to bomb people, but never any money to feed, house or care for people?

It’s possible to mourn the Oct. 7 murdered Israelis, hope for safe return of hostages & condemn antisemitism AND ALSO oppose the slaughter of Palestinians, demand a free Palestine & human rights 4 all, condemn US/UK complicity in war crimes & cheer S. Africa & Yemen’s heroism

US energy related CO2 emissions are nearly back to 1973 levels (~3% above 1973). For years, many right-wingers and fossil fuel interests said cutting carbon emissions means shrinking the economy. Nope! US economy grew 60% since 2000 as CO2 emissions fall to nearly 1973 levels.

@MariaSTsehai @SianSullivanUK Trophy hunting probably provides one of the only revenue streams for the communities in the area. Before you dismiss it - what is the alternative? Might be worse poverty.

😭😭 Africa! I never understood what joy trophy hunters get? #Tanzania asks for a couple of thousands of US dollars to hunt just majestic rare animals! Yet children still study in the dirt and high infant mortality, all the usual poverty! Ban trophyhunting - simple!
