foodweb_baywet: Florida cypress wetlands food web (1998)
Networks of carbon exchanges among species in the cypress wetlands of South Florida. One network covers the wet and the other the dry season. Each node represents a taxon (similar to a species), and a directed edge indicates that one taxon uses another as food.
This network has 128 nodes and 2106 edges.

It's wild to me how funding in our country works. Untold billions (if not trillions) for police and ICE. Billions in funding for the dumbest of AI ideas. But basic science? My wife is scrambling to get less than a million dollars of funding to do studies on heat waves that could help save millions of lives.
Remember heat waves? The kind of thing that will only become more frequent and deadly as we fail to curb our carbon emissions?

Around 56 million years ago,
Earth suddenly got much hotter.
Over about 5,000 years, the amount of carbon in the atmosphere drastically increased and global temperatures shot up by some 6°C.
As we show in new research published in Nature Communications,
one consequence was that many of the world’s plants could no longer thrive.
As a result, they soaked up less carbon from the atmosphere,
which may have contributed to another interesting thing about this pre…

The fossil fuel era is ending faster than you think.
Startups like 247Solar are combining concentrating solar power with heat-storing batteries that deliver 24/7 electricity—even when the sun isn't shining. Their systems can slash carbon emissions by 95% and cut energy costs by 25% or more.
The best part? Businesses can upgrade with zero upfront costs through Energy-as-a-Service.

Ugh - Nicola Willis is so full of shit. She has boundless (but blind) faith in 'technology' to fix our carbon problem. Simultaneously, she's defunding all science in Aotearoa, so many of the the clever people are leaving. She, and the entire subculture she represents, is unfit to lead. She's righteous about her ignorance. Hopeless.Her government needs to go.
NASA's SPHEREx has completed its first multispectral map of the infrared sky.
It sees the sky in 102 infrared "colors," which lets it do things like this: One image highlights mature stars; the other focuses on carbon soot & gas clouds where new stars form. 🧪🔭
