Let yourself occasionally get a little screwed in exchange for not having to live with your guard up all the time. It’s worth it.

A few personal notes:
I was just at a NASA team meeting for 3 days in DC. The scientific findings are so fucked up. Experts on tropical rainforests told me privately that they think the Amazon has already passed its tipping point. Let that sink in. The world needs to know

60 years after Timothy Leary was fired from Harvard University for promoting psychedelic drugs to his students (among a myriad of other infractions) Harvard will begin teaching a new course dedicated to examining how these drugs impact the world around us.

Global capitalism is the root cause of the climate crisis.

We need a new economic model - focused on degrowth - that our planet and it's people first!

This is why climate change is not "linear" — why it's not a slope, but a series of cliffs.

NYC infrastructure is designed to handle about 1.75 in of rain per hour.

Today's rain averaged about 2 in.

Only 1/4 inch, that tiny increment, overwhelmed most of the system.

Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds

Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood.

The team identified nine different types of polymers and one type of rubber in the airborne microplastics, which ranged in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometres.

Each litre (0.26 gallon) of cloud water tested contained between 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of the plastics.

When microplastics reach the upper atmosphere and are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, they degrade, contributing to greenhouse gasses, Okochi said.

"We are hitting record breaking extremes much sooner than I expected. That’s frightening, scary, and concerning, and it really suggests that we’re not as aware of what’s coming as we thought we were.”

Well that was embarrassing. Canada & @JustinTrudeau were just called out for "being one of the largest expanders of fossil fuels last year" by the @UN at the #ClimateAmbitionSummit 🤦‍♀️#cdnpoli

@zach__davidson @bgurley For the past 100 years there has been a positive correlation between regulation and economic growth for tech. Crypto is not any different. The only question is to what degree regulation will be weaponized to push out first-adopters & make room for legacy institutions…

@michaelmezz @janevandis That report ⬆️ estimated three trillion barrels of oil is under Colorado…more than all the worlds current proved reserves combined.

[Brendan | 🕳 🐇 @bgage0]

@michaelmezz @janevandis 👌🏼 my point on tech innovation on oil extraction is not limited to deep sea reserves - it extends to oil reserves which are classified technically recoverable. If these reserves were exploitable due to new tech = decades (possibly centuries) of oil https://t.co/uBtV8SiToh

@michaelmezz @janevandis Investment in offshore projects is at 10 year highs & accelerating. These projects have 20-40 year lifespans + assume offshore tech continues to improve = oil isn’t going anywhere for the next few decades absent a revolution forcing heavy regulation. https://t.co/VyxfoXZUsI
