Haven't read this piece but the image is interesting, because it's clearly AI generated but it looks just like Icelandic glacier lagoon Jokulsarlon with Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in the background, possibly the most photographed glacier on earth. Photos of it crop up absolutely everywhere. Which is presumably how DALL-E learned what a glacier is.

Yet another article reporting that the marginal supply of electric power in the US is from new natural gas plants or keeping old coal plants open.
Your electric car is powered by burning fossil fuels. The only climate-friendly transportation is not driving.

A New Surge in Power Use Is Threatening U.S. Climate Goals
A boom in data centers and factories is straining electric grids and propping up fossil fuels.

Building walls to keep out the consequences of our actions.

Nigerian bakeries need support to shift to clean energy, researchers say
Bakeries in Nigeria which use traditional open ovens fueled by hardwood cut from local forests are contributing to rapid deforestation and climate change, according to a study from academics working in Nigeria and from the University of York and UCL.

Data journeys in popular science: Producing climate change and COVID-19 data visualizations at Scientific American
Vast amounts of (open) data are increasingly used to make arguments about crisis topics such as climate change and global pandemics. Data visualizations are central to bringing these viewpoints to broader publics. However, visualizations often conceal the many contexts involved in their production, ranging from decisions made in research labs about collecting and sharing data to choices made in editorial rooms about which data stories to tell. In this paper, we examine how data visualizations a…

Serious question... if the AMOC shuts down, does Spain (the Iberian peninsula) become more temperate because northern Europe has more winter cold snaps as the jetstream flies further south more often, or does it become drier because there just isn't that much difference moisture wise... so essentially, desertification/expansion of the Sahara?

Converting golf courses to open space preserves.
A feel good article.
As usual, interesting comments. First ends with wish that one golf course would have become a natural golf course.
Comments are closed so no answer.
Screw that comment. I don't golf. Wouldn't feel safe even if allowed to wander a golf course. Wouldn't think of visiting a golf course.

Well, I’ve long said that I suspected that the “better” climate over at #BlueSky was in huge part to the passive barrier that the invite code system presented.
Well, the gates have opened and now I guess we’ll see how it goes. Sydette Harry is ringing the alarm bell so that’s not a good sign on the anti-Blackness/racism front.
It’ll be interesting to watch if nothing else.

📷#OTD 10 years ago I visited the ruins of the Dutch pavilion on the Expo 2000 site in Hanover🇩🇪. I remember visiting Expo 2000 twice (on the then brand-new DB ICE trains from the Netherlands). This building by MVRDV architects, representing stacked landscapes and dealing with limited space, stood out for its optimistic view of tackling climate change (consequences), with the Dutch - real or not - pr…

Just the other day I suggested a sport, environment and climate class.
“As well as the triathlon, the river is also set to be used in marathon swimming and paratriathlon events, and play host to a flotilla-based opening ceremony.
“It’s part of an ambitious plan to open up the river to public swimmers by 2025, something that’s been illegal for 100 years because of the dangerously high pollution levels.”

Paris Olympics: River Seine pollution could cancel triathlon swimming
Paris' Seine river pollution could cancel triathlon swimming at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Games President Tony Estanguet said.

Echopype: A Python library for interoperable and scalable processing of water column sonar data for biological information
High-frequency sonar systems deployed on a wide array of ocean observing platforms are creating a deluge of water column sonar data at an unprecedented speed from all corners of the ocean. Efficient and integrative analysis of these data, either across different sonar instruments or with other oceanographic datasets, holds the key to monitoring and understanding the response of marine ecosystems to the rapidly changing climate. In this paper we present Echopype, an open-source Python software l…

The United States has its first large offshore wind farm, with more to come
America's first commercial-scale offshore wind farm is officially open, a long-awaited moment that helps pave the way for a succession of large wind farms. Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource built a 12-turbine wind farm called South Fork Wind east of Montauk Point, New York. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul went to Long Island Thursday to announce that the turbines are delivering clean power to the local electric grid. It’s a turning point for the industry, but what’s…
