This is why massive cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service are so dangerous. You can expect more of this with the increasingly anti-science policies given climate driven intense storms and increased unpredictability.

"Une étude publiée lundi bat en brèche l'idée d'une dominance des mâles largement répandue chez les primates. Cette recherche dresse un tableau bien plus nuancé des relations entre sexes opposés chez nos espèces cousines que sont les singes et lémuriens."

Science progresses one funeral at a time.
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it... --Max Planck

Why we forget our childhoods
Childhood amnesia makes the memories formed before age 7 a blur. Scientists are trying to figure out why and if they're gone forever.

Attached: 1 image …Here are some highlights (lowlights): “If you drop all that old life into the container that we call Earth, and burn them, it turns out that what we burn in *1 year* weighs 100x more than everything alive today. Everything. All the whales, elephants, forests, insects, grass, crops, birds, fish, people, dogs and cats. Add up all the carbon in everything alive now, and still, in one year we burn a hundred times more.” #climateDiary

(And now @… are less than €19,000 away from their stretch target of € 75,000 to provide @… services to all. Amazing work folks and fedizens 🤩)
#Fediverse is amazing, less than 24 hours after I posted this and @peertube  is only €223 from the penultimate target with 30 hours to go.
Not taking any credit for that, but happy to see a chord has been struck for all genuine surveillance-capital-free social media. Even more important in the time of #NoKings.
Looks like I'm going to be busy making #Science videos on #ClimateChange in the #Polar Regions too for the next few weeks.
Here's one I made earlier on #SurfaceMass Budget. Let me know if there's something #Climate and/or #ice related you'd like to see a short clip about and I'll see what we can do
#fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...
