Sigh. 1.6 Kg of CO2 = 3.5 Kw/h with the US generation mix, so to consume that in a half hour implies that end-to-end streaming consumes 7000 watts, which is off by well over an order of magnitude. We can quibble about accounting with 2x, but 10x is just BS.

Reversals in the Earth's magnetic field have long been thought to be instantaneous (at least from a geologic standpoint), but new research finds the last reversal took at least 22,000 years! https://t.co/pG0D0as6pb via @PhysicsWorld
The Max Planck Institute for Human Development has published a new long-term study which shows that playing violent video games (in this case GTA V) doesn't cause aggressive behavioral changes. The more scientific data on this, the better. https://t.co/1t7beZ7gbD
Remembering Stephen Hawking, a renowned physicist and ambassador of science. His theories unlocked a universe of possibilities that we & the world are exploring. May you keep flying like superman in microgravity, as you said to astronauts on @Space_Station in 2014
