To supplement my last toot of 800,000 years of CO2 data, here's a graph of the past 2000 years for CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide (all greenhouse gases, measured in parts per million) again showing the effect of human activities driving up the concentrations. These are the gases driving #climate change.

@davoloid

Its a QOTO feature and yes you can access it from our web client.

It lets you follow a user without them knowing you are following them and without them needing to approve of you as a follower if it is locked down.

The down side is you will only see their public posts and any follower-only posts you cant see unnless you follow.

Early Warnings for All Action Plan unveiled at COP27

"The estimated new targeted investments of US$ 3.1 Billion over the five years would be used to advance the four key Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS) pillars:

Disaster risk knowledge (US$374 million) - systematically collect data and undertake risk assessments on hazards and vulnerabilities
Observations and Forecasting (US$1.18 billion) - develop hazard monitoring and early warning services
Preparedness and response ($1 billion) - build national and community response capabilities
Dissemination and communication (US$ 550 million) - communicate risk information so it reaches all those who need it, and is understandable and usable

The plan identifies key areas for advancing universal disaster risk knowledge, and outlines the priority actions required to achieve this, building on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction."

@bookandfire I love what I call "gentle magical realism" & I can highly recommend anything by Natasha Pulley (but especially The Kingdoms & The Watchmaker of Filligree Street". What are your favourite sci-fi recommendations (but no horror, please)?
