A serene and enchanting forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the magic of a sunlit trail. The path, winding through a dense forest of tall trees, is bathed in dappled sunlight that filters through the canopy above. The light creates a mesmerizing play of shadows and highlights, illuminating the vibrant green foliage and the forest floor. The forest floor is a lush carpet of moss, ferns, and fallen leaves, adding texture and depth to the scene. The trail itself is a mix of earth and sc…

"Polling across 36 nations by the Pew Research Center found that 84% see economic inequality as a big problem, and 86% see the political influence of the rich as a major cause of it. In 33 of these nations, a majority believe their country’s economic system needs either “major changes” or “complete reform”. In the UK, a YouGov poll revealed, 75% support a wealth tax on fortunes above £10m, while only 13% oppose it."

Money Talks
The grim truth is that almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest.

March heat surges past 100 in California and Arizona, smashing records
A burst of unusual March heat is hitting the United States this week and into next, busting previous monthly heat records by wide margins. While heat is most acutely felt by people exposed to it, graphics and charts convey the scale of this extreme event. Temperatures in the West remain far above what's typical for March, a sign the early season heat is not letting up. Compared with the average highs for March between 1991 and 2020, temperatures across some parts of Oklahoma, Nebraska, northern…

Snow will begin light with slightly above-freezing temperatures, so accumulations through Sunday afternoon will be relatively small. The heaviest snow will happen after sunset Sunday and continue into early Monday morning before it begins to taper off.

What is so bewildering about Trump’s cruelty is how it has been allowed to pass, its casualness.
Donald Trump hovers above the circus of death and chaos.
Trump defies attempts to make his actions cohere with any particular strategy.
His wars, killing of innocents, and indeed, the threatening of entire civilisations are reshaping the world,
but without him even having orchestrated some master plan.
He is animated by little more than momentary impulses and resent…

Trump’s presidency is what evil looks like: absurd, frightening, cruel
Commentators have said that the US president’s clownishness and lack of ideology somehow make him less dangerous. They’re wrong, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Amazon deforestation raises surface temperature by 3°C during dry season, satellite data show
Deforestation in the Amazon is causing significant regional changes in climate compared to areas with forest cover above 80%. The loss of vegetation leads to an increase in surface temperature, a decrease in evapotranspiration, and a reduction in precipitation during the dry season and in the number of rainy days.

Historic Glacial Confluence
This is the site of confluence of the former glaciers Vernagtferner and Hintereisferner, two of the most (and longest) studied glaciers in the world. It is the site (at ~2200m) where several times over the past thousand years the ice of the Vernagtferner would pile up to form a massive dam, 150-200m tall, which caused a semi-permanent ice lake to form in the Rofen/Hintereis valley above (the one visible from ~7 seconds). Many times this lake would get up to …

Well this is interesting. Last night during the workstation outage the grid power voltage to my house reached the highest level I've ever seen, 257V across the two nominally 120 legs (meaning they were 128.5V RMS above/below neutral). And a day or two earlier it dropped down to 235V.
Almost certainly unrelated, they don't pull enough power for this to make a difference and are on double conversion UPS so the voltage they saw wouldn't change. But the timing is curious, as is…

Graph of power voltage over time at different scales (day, week, month, year). The blue line is a perfect 240.0V and shows the output voltage of the UPS, while the green line is fluctuating around 245 +/- a few volts until yesterday when the amplitude of the noise gets a lot higher with a big dip followed by a big spike

Finally, Volkswagen is launching a V2G tariff in Germany. It is now scheduled for launch in Q4 2026.
Although Volkswagen was the first German car manufacturer to release bidirectional charging functionality in their vehicles, they are now behind BMW, Mercedes and Ford (whose EVs use VW technology) in terms of announcing an actual charger and tariff bundle.

An electric vehicle is plugged into a charging station against a wooden backdrop. Colorful lines suggest energy transfer. Text promotes a new energy transition initiative from Elli, mentioning V2G technology coming soon.
A white Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle is prominently displayed against a purple background. Smaller illustrations of various electric cars are scattered around, with the text "Electric vehicles based on the MEB platform" above.

Amazon rainforest flipped to carbon source during 2023 extreme drought, study shows
The Amazon rainforest is of crucial importance to the Earth's ecosystem, given its capacity to store substantial amounts of carbon in its vegetation. In 2023, the region experienced unusually high temperatures, reaching 1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average, accompanied by unusual levels of atmospheric dryness from September to November. These conditions were caused by warmer water temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that resulted in diminished moisture transport from the Atlantic to…

I went out into the wood to try to assess what dangerously unstable trees still standing in places where they could cause damage when they fall.
Needless to say, besides the two trees that have already collapsed above the house, there's at least one and possibly two unstable trees hanging over the house.
H'mmm...
#TheJoyOfCrofting

A tree in the wood, leaning about 30°, unsupported. Nothing terrible will happen when this one comes down, I think.
My house, from the back. You can see one tree that's broken off just above the top of the roof, and most of that tree is actually lying on the roof; but it has been for more than a year and I'm not worried about it. You can also see a tree leaning over the house, but it's hung up in the tree in front of the house and I don't think it will move. What worries me more are the two trees to the right of the house, leaning towards it. One of them is definitely unstable.
