Overheard in Dutch train, in loud phone discussion on various friends having their wedding parties abroad: "X organized his 21 party at his parents' home in Monaco. They arranged and paid for flights of all of us. I never drank so much beer on a short flight."
Oh dear climate...
#ClimateChange

wie soll man eigentlich als Mensch, dem Wissenschaft und Fakten wichtig sind, mit immer neuen und schlimmeren Meldungen über das weltweite Klima umgehen? :s4f:

Neil deGrasse Tyson on Twitter: "In Florida, at 345-feet, Britton Hill is the highest elevation — the lowest highest elevation in United States. This makes Florida supremely susceptible to sea-level rise during Climate Change. An objective truth even if you don’t believe in Climate Change. Just Sayin'. https://t.co/bSf34O8pQc

I am fascinated by early suggestions for geoengineering: "In 1791 Erasmus Darwin was proposing plans to artificially engineer and control global climate by sending out the Naval fleets of all nations to lasso every iceberg in the North and South Poles and tow them to the equator, in order to produce more clement weather in the tropics and equalise weather patterns across the world." (from Thomas Moynihan, X-Risk)

Gosh, this is interesting - not just Europeans who see #climate Action as important it seems
"While Republican supporters recognize that most Republicans support climate change policy, they may be discouraged from expressing their support due to an information environment disproportionately portraying Republicans as opposed to climate change action."

Our Nature commentary on the need for explicit AI energy and emissions scenarios, out this past Monday. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01137-x

Will AI accelerate or delay the race to net-zero emissions?
As artificial intelligence transforms the global economy, researchers need to explore scenarios to assess how it can help, rather than harm, the climate.

Nonstationary coastal flood hazard analysis - Natural Hazards
It is well known that the increase in coastal flood hazard is expected to continue due primarily to climate change. While, previous studies have advanced probabilistic approaches for estimating future coastal flood hazard, two seminal issues have received little attention: (1) sea level trend projections that arise as a consequence of climate change not being incorporated in nonstationary coastal flood frequency analysis and (2) traditional stationary approaches that estimate return periods are…

CO2 capture using boron, nitrogen, and phosphorus-doped C20 in the present electric field: A DFT study
Burning fossil fuels emits a significant amount of CO2, causing climate change concerns. CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) aims to reduce emissions, with fullerenes showing promise as CO2 adsorbents. Recent research focuses on modifying fullerenes using an electric field. In light of this, we carried out DFT studies on some B, N, and P doped C20 (C20-nXn (n = 0, 1, 2, and 3; X = B, N, and P)) in the absence and presence of an electric field in the range of 0-0.02 a.u.. The cohesive energy was calcu…
