@Taro @GeraldKutney Yes, people actually post science and facts and stuff here. Its like having voyaged for miles in stormy seas and rounding the breakwater for home. I hardly go back there anymore.

The first climate model that estimated how the world might warm in the future was published in 1970.

That model, as well as ones published in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, have done a remarkably good job predicting what actually occurred in the years after they were published

Use of #Foraminifera in Climate Science

The understanding of past changes in #climate and #ocean circulation is to a large extent based on information from marine sediments.
Marine deposits contain a variety of #microfossils, which archive (paleo)-environmental information, both in their floral and faunal assemblages and in their stable isotope and trace element compositions...

How the Roberts SCOTUS operates as the judicial arm of the GOP 

"In 12 of the 13 lower court rulings vacated by the justices in the past 22 months, the court erased decisions that seemed to align with progressive values and objectives."

This #SCOTUS doesn't hide it's functioning as judicial arm of the GOP. #expandSCOTUS nytimes.com/2022/11/29/opinion

Construction on the world’s biggest eye on the sky, ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (#ELT) continues at the summit of Cerro Armazones in the Chilean Atacama Desert.

This gargantuan instrument will enable direct detections of #exoplanets around the nearest stars to the Sun, enabling the study of their atmospheric compositions and prospects for #habitability.

Everywhere the Russians retreat they leave behind evidence of atrocities and murder; on their way out they also looted homes, offices and museums and destroyed power stations, taking down electricity, running water, heat and phone service. Europe has seen nothing like this since 1945

Just Stop Oil stage disruptive protests because the media and public totally ignore protests like this one last week when scientists protested government buildings, warning human society is at risk. If the media covered these protests Just Stop Oil wouldn’t exist twitter.com/realmediagb/status

Government official tells Senate committee on Bill C-11 there is no intent of creating a Cancon definition for user content. But with discoverability regulations for user content platforms, Canadian digital creators would be effectively de-prioritized in their own country.

This fact check is pretty good. tl;dr: water vapor amplifies warming from CO2 but does not cause warming. This is consistent with the IPCC's conclusion that all modern warming is likely due to humans.

I hear new people noting how chill, tolerant, and pleasant Mastodon is.

Mastodon isn’t chill or tolerant or pleasant. It’s a tool… a foundation on which to create and maintain a culture.

It’s those who’ve been on Mastodon, run servers, and served as admins who did the hard work and created the culture you now enjoy.

Now, it’s your turn. The only way it stays tolerant and chill is by us doing the work to keep it that way.

A good example of, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
