I think its beyond what a single person can do to save it.But we have started the conversation which is good.But not good enough.What we need is a huge systematic change.restructuring of economy.

Hola friends,

As 2019 is ending, have a look at how we have fared this year,climatically.How hot are we?Pretty hot.
Three surface temperature datasets suggest 2019 will be the second warmest year in the instrumental record ( >85% likelihood).

Virtual guarantee this will be the 5th year in a row more than 1°C above late 19th C, and a top 5 year. It will be certain that the top five years will have occurred in the last five years.

5 warmest years in a row is not a good sign.Earth is changing.

Every year I hope for a point where in which there is actual change from people.This year brought Greta Thunberg, Earth has a bright future, with these children, But I am sincerley scared,will they inherit it?
The change in global currents is alarming.India alone saw 6 cyclones in a row.My hometown in kerala had floods consecutively for 2 years.
There is a pattern in this chaos.Earth has given warnings.Please heed them & change.
We have only one planet.There is no place like earth, the exo planets we found doesnt even come close to earth ( in terms of beauty & life support systems ).Lets unite to protect it.

Happy weekend :)

On this very day: exactly 100 years ago gravity veered towards Albert Einstein & his Theory of Relativity & the world was changed forever & Einstein became famous.
It was the day when Eddington’s results of the bending of light by the sun were announced to the royal society.

Thanks RG

Hi Friends,
The Mercury transit has begun.Remember the next time mercury travels across the face of the sun (from the earths perspective ) will be on 2032.so dont miss this journey.it goes on for about 5.5 hours, so you can tune in when your free.

If you own a telescope with appropriate sunfilter, you can watch the transit.its visible from Europe,parts of west Asia, Americas,Africa, Atlantic & pacific ocean.
If you can't see it,dont worry NASA has you covered with SDO lives.The solar dynamics observatory would be doing live broadcasts,link down here

Happy watching :)

@jookia
Yep,I have been there.13 break points & stack overflow still :(
If callstack could talk,it would tell me in the best gandalf voice"Sawpy, Things have been set into motion, that cannot be undone" 😋.

@MASKCOM@mastodon.social Thank you :)

@Tallymark90 Yes thats the sad truth.No longer are we invicible.Does that make it safer for everyone? I dont know.Does that make me feel safe?No, I feelt used in somecases because of targeted Advertisements.I share the creepy feeling too.
Do read the book its very intresting :)

@Canas
I Agree too.Govts have more ulterior motives but they collect our data from these firms themselves like the PRISM program of NSA.So I am equally wary of pvt firms & the govt.The govt I hold responsible more than the pvt firms, because that is an elected establishment to serve the people.They should have more intergity & responsibility to its citizens than pvt firms,pvt firms exist for profit.

>you are their product,if you want it or not, no opt in ,opt out.
True, Very true.It bothers me greatly being called a product.Its like taking the humanity out of me & calling me a thing.But there is no way around it.Its everywhere.

@Karthikdeva Thank you for your kind words :) , The book is a really good👍

@me Sad Truth :( , Times that we live in are scary.

@arteteco I am so sorry about your experience in India,what you say is true.Majority of Indians are unaware of the violations of data privacy & the importance of it.India is probably the only country with so much biometric data of most of its citizens & having no/few laws to protect it.(Adhar card).

Glad you liked the post, Thank you for the warm welcome :)
