Sir David #Attenborough, who inspired so many kids to study Earth sciences, has turned 97 today!

I flew on the same aircraft (Hercules) with him to #McMurdo station in Jan 2010 where they filmed Frozen Planet and I tried to figure out how to do field work in marine biology.

His visit to the station was the talk of the continent! He gave a brilliant lecture. But the funniest memory was that the BBC team asked us to remove warning signs around our ice holes to get a pristine view of Antarctica.

Hallo zusammen - wie immer mit einem aktuellen Bild der Sonne via Satellit SDO.

Sprzedam obiektyw Nikon Nikkor AF-S 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR.

Stan bardzo dobry, wszystko działa prawidłowo - pierścienie do regulacji, stabilizacja, przełączniki. Szkła bez rys czy innych wad.

W zestawie komplet dekielków (przód i tył), osłona przeciwsłoneczna oraz filtr UV firmy Hoya.

Obiektyw przeleżał ostatnie miesiące w szafie, więc może komuś lepiej posłuży 😉

Tylko zakup osobisty w Warszawie.

Będę wdzięczny za boosty 🙂

Symbolically, as #Germany welcomed 15 April, its first day without #nuclear power, wind went much quieter than preceding days, which was immediately visible on its #CO2 intensity - 479 gCO2eq/kWh, as coal is now Germany's largest single source of electricity.

Right now Germany also *imports* electricity from France, whose CO2 intensity is now around 50 gCO2eq/kWh, just as it was yesterday, before yesterday etc.

I write "symbolically" because these momentary intensity wouldn't really matter... if it was actually momentary fluctuations, but on annual trends France's intensity is always 5-10x lower than Germany's. The latter drops during windy, sunny days... but France also has #renewables. The difference is that the base in France is clean nuclear, while in Germany — the dirtiest possible lignite and hard coal.

Germany may make any declarations it likes regarding its future energy mix, but one hard fact is that since the start of #Energiewende in 2011 it managed to add nearly 120 GW in renewables, at the same time it managed to only add ~3 GW in storage and it's unlikely they will be able to increase that even 10x in the next decade. Not due to some "SPD conspiracy", but due to complex challenges of storage solutions which are a global phenomenon.

Therefore, coal is going to stay as main fuel in Germany for a long time and we should probably remember 15 April 2023 as an anniversary of irrationality, pseudo-environmentalism and pseudoscience. Congratulations to #WWF #Greenpeace #Greens, you just greatly contributed to #ClimateChange

The German government has announced plans to allow possession of up to 25 grams of cannabis per day and 50 grams per month, and the cultivation of a maximum of three plants at home.

The legislation would allow for the commercial distribution of cannabis only under special circumstances, as presented by Health Minister Lauterbach and Agriculture Minister Özdemir.

"The previous cannabis policy has failed. Now we have to go new ways," Lauterbach said.

New Nasa director swears oath on Carl Sagan’s ‘Pale Blue Dot’ instead of Bible:

"Makenzie Lystrup, who became the first woman in Nasa’s history to be appointed the director of Goddard Space Flight Center on Thursday, took her oath on a copy of Carl Sagan’s 1994 book Pale Blue Dot instead of the conventional practice of using the Bible."

Tymczasem postanowiłem zaszaleć i na jednej z instancji Pixelfed założyłem konto, na którym wrzucam zdjęcia w ogóle nie związane z giereczkami. Ot, takie tam kadry uchwycone telefonem to tu, to tam.

Na razie wrzucam archiwalne zdjęcia, ale z czasem pojawią się też z bieżącego okresu.

Zainteresowanych zapraszam do obserwowania 👉 https://pixelfed.de/bartoszwanot
