Good reporting on an attribution study from @nature.com: 🫠 Emissions from each of the 14 biggest #fossilFuel Firms made >50 heatwaves otherwise near-impossible 📈 Exxon & Aramco made 51 #heatwaves ≥10,000× likelier 🔥180 companies caused ~½ the rise in intensity (forest loss most of the rest)

As U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright lobbies for more fossil fuels in Europe, climate experts are warning his pro-fossil fuel arguments are based on disinformation, including a misleading climate report his department published this summer. buff.ly/o0B07sK

Deforestation kills more than trees.

Nice frog; big.

Today is Day 2 of the public hearing on the EPA’s reconsideration of the 2009 endangerment finding, the key ruling underpinning U.S. greenhouse gas regulations. 🧪 Testimonies start at the top of the hour, and we’re following along: 👇🧵

At least 96 students who had planned to conduct graduate research in the United States have changed their intended destination, citing hostile immigration and science policies go.nature.com/3HBh8ej

Climate models since the 1970s nailed it—most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.

What a chilling, absolutely heartbreaking account of the world's failure in reaching a decent treaty (a treaty at all) to curb plastic pollution. This, my friends, is what efficient lobbying looks like: the interest of a very few at the expense of the whole humanity www.linkedin.com/posts/kiara-...

Current US policies on science and immigration are forcing early-career researchers to choose other countries for their international study seasons. This is true for Brazilian PhD candidates and a few official numbers picture the trend. My latest for Nature magazine: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How can humans trust machines to do important jobs unless they feel confident the machines have the same values and goals? Recent work shows that this “alignment” is highly unstable. www.quantamagazine.org/the-ai-was-f...

Great to be a coauthor of this new paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com which provides a comprehensive set of solutions to bend the land degradation curve & leverage the transformation of global #food systems. #land #climate #biodiversity @yesiuoy.bsky.social @uoyenvironment.bsky.social

💰 Social media companies including Meta, X, and YouTube are allowing climate conspiracy theories about extreme weather spread unchecked as disasters unfold. New research by @counterhate.com exposes how these companies profit while public safety is put at risk

A pleasure to contribute with Eos in reporting on a very little known issue. :)

Weren't it for the curiosity of the Amarandubinha community, we'd never know of these urns found in the Amazon. They don't resemble any known ceramic tradition in the forest and their discovery is a great example of scientist-community collaboration. ❤️ www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...

Niède Guidon, a Brazilian archaeologist who has died aged 92, studied cave paintings, hearths & worked stones in the state of Piauí in northeastern Brazil, found evidence that the region might have been occupied more than 30,000 years ago, writes @meghier.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

As Jeanne says, @theopennotebook.bsky.social began 15 years ago as a labor of love. But it takes more than love to put together the hundreds of articles, courses, mentoring programs and more that TON offers. To be blunt, it takes money. We could use your help! www.theopennotebook.com/donate

The late Niède Guidon, deemed as the mother of Brazil's modern archeology, got a much-deserved #Nature obituary. Guidon placed Brazil on the world map of archeological research, challenged the Clovis-First establishment and changed lives. Definitely one of the greats. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Fascinating bit of chemistry: Freshly-ground scrap metal begins to oxidize exothermically, producing heat, hydrogen gas (through catalysis of water) & iron oxides. Mixed with petroleum, as in junked cars, this produces temps that ignite oil & hydrogen mix. Scrap iron can *spontaneously combust*.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Neste #DiaDoMeioAmbiente, um lembrete importante do @carlosrittl.bsky.social que resume a matéria: "o Brasil não pode entregar uma COP importantíssima para o mundo e chegar ao fim do ano com um dos maiores retrocessos da história". www1.folha.uol.com.br/ambiente/202...

“It’s possible to deliver balanced coverage on climate change, but it’s difficult to keep your distance from it, because it’s not something happening to someone else — it’s happening to all of us.” @Meghier.bsky.social outlines the challenges of climate reporting. @reutersinstitute.bsky.social

Time for the current generation of adults to grow up on climate change! A report detailing how climate inaction will consign people born today to a lifetime of weather extremes must awaken a sense of responsibility. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Que coisa interessante. Reprodutibilidade científica não tem a ver apenas com seguir uma receita à risca. Tem muito a ver com o jeito (ou jeitinho) com que se faz a receita. Quem já "fracassou" fazendo bolo como o de receitas da TV ou da web sabe bem como é. www1.folha.uol.com.br/blogs/cienci...
