@elonmusk I’ve had enough of your right extremist propaganda now - you used to have interesting posts, pity you’re just becoming part of that crazy un-American propaganda machinery - blocked now!

@Int_Machines @SpaceX @NASA @Columbia1938 The whole 🌏 shown and all I can see is Australia. Doesn't look "down under" from this perspective 😉

@MarkvLoosdrecht @HKUniversity And what’s the synopsis of your lecture and/or your anticipation?

MEGA FACTCHECK

EVs are “likely crucial” for tackling transport CO2, says the IPCC – and sales are rocketing

But EVs still face relentless hostile media coverage

So, I spent the past few months debunking 21 (!) of the most common EV myths

Here it is 🧵

That is one very disturbing graph, but extremely impactful when you see it!

NATURE IS DWINDLING: A diverse set of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed dramatically with the arrival of humans. Since then, wild land mammal biomass has declined by ~ 85%. Humans & their livestock are now dominant.

@VincentJCurtis1 You should be ashamed to call yourself a researcher or a scientist! Blocked!

[Jurg Keller @jkCRCWSC]

Very insightful this! And look at the “quality” developments around them, ugly as… with barely a green patch anywhere! This is what ‘market forces’ deliver with limited regulations

A family in Australia has remained defiant in selling their nearly 5-acre property in the last few years as developers have been forced to build around them. Most recently, they declined a whopping $50 million offer for their home. Slap bang in the middle of a new-build development in The Ponds area near the city of Quakers Hill, the Zammits have indicated they cannot put a price on their beloved home.

It’s a stark contrast to the adjacent rows of newly constructed houses that surround their longtime property. Their neighbors have praised their resilience as they enjoy the cul-de-sacs that this in-the-middle property creates by staying put, rather than having a typical through street.

“The fact that most people sold out years and years ago, these guys have held on. All credit to them,” Taylor Bredin, an agent with Ray White Quakers Hill, told the outlet.

Bredin estimated that the land could accommodate up to 50 houses, with each subdivided 3,200-square-foot block potentially fetching a million dollars each. Diane Zammit, 51, previously spoke to the outlet and reminisced about the area’s past, describing it as “farmland dotted with little red brick homes and cottages.”“Every home was unique and there was so much space — but not any more. It’s just not the same,” she said.

Most of the neighboring blocks of land sold back in 2012 — which would have valued the Zammits’ property at around $4.75 million 10 years ago. Their Windsor Castle-style home features a 650-foot driveway in the middle of their expansive lawn. About 40 minutes from Sydney’s central core, the property offers panoramic views of the Blue Mountains. The neighboring high-density homes are built right up to the property’s fence line.

September temperatures are now out from our Berkeley Earth dataset. Looking at all the Septembers back to 1850 helps highlight just how anomalous this month has been: https://t.co/lzh5i5m1Gm

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

#COP28

#ClimateChange is about consumption of very richest people in our global society.

50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population.

90% of global emissions by 50% of the population.

We need climate justice to save our planet. The rich need to step up

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

This is what the world will look like over the next 100 years...if we fail to act. We have no time for business as usual.

No time to waste, no planet B. #ActOnClimate

Congrats Caitlin and Ameet. Really deserved MEWE specialist group awards! @mewe2023 #mewe2023

True, but it also needs to be investigated why a bore and pipe should cost $8.7M…?!

[Stuart Khan @stukhan]

So many disappointed communities let down by government failure to complete reliable costing and comprehensive business cases before blindly announcing plans to build water infrastructure. This political and bureaucratic incompetence needs to be fixed. https://t.co/aBZwZGzreu

Imagine if real GDP was going down 2% every year for 20 years, we would all be yelling at the government. But this is what is happening to threatened species and we can’t get a response https://t.co/ikGA1GePqf
