Catherine McKenna au Devoir sur le lobby des énergies fossiles: «Ils font de l’écoblanchiment. Ils augmentent leurs émissions, ils n’investissent pas dans l’énergie propre, ils combattent toutes les réglementations et font du lobby contre l’action climatique.» www.ledevoir.com/actualites/e...

Généralement, les compilations de ce genre sont sur l'actualité US. Chouette d'en voir une sur le Québec. Les outils d'IA n'ont fourni une référence complète que dans le tiers des cas et la moitié offraient un résumé "partiellement fidèle".

I will probably be posting about this one a lot in the coming weeks: our special issue on ALAN / light pollution in Biological Conservation is now open for submissions! With @gkalinkat.bsky.social, Jacqueline Degen, and Franz Hölker. www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

Wind farms and light pollution: Medium-intensity turbine lights can be brighter than the brightest stars and planets on the night sky up to significant distances. This should be taken into account in environmental impact assessments. Version of record, open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.jq...

Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-jonat...
