"Understanding the link between heat and intimate partner violence”
Together with @juditvall.bsky.social and Laura Schmitz, we study how high temperatures affect intimate partner violence (IPV) in Spain over 15 years.
Curious about our results? This is what we find ⬇️

Ich finde es ja so peinlich, dass unsere Bundesregierung den Lobby-Sprech von den "hocheffizienten Verbrennern" einfach so übernimmt. Wirklich hocheffizient sind nur die elektrischen Antriebe - Wärmekraftmaschinen können da prinzipiell nicht mithalten. #Verbrenneraus #Thermodynamik

"Disseminating AI weather forecasts has an incredibly high return on investment, generating more than $100 for farmers for each dollar invested by the government.
Spreading the cost of an AI model across tens or even hundreds of millions of farmers means the per-farmer cost is extremely small."

Artificial intelligence could dramatically improve weather forecasting
An AI-based model outperformed every other in forecasting the Indian monsoon this year. This helped millions of farmers.

EU countries have cut a deal on the 2040 climate target. What worries you more: that 5 percentage points of the 90 percent reduction target can be outsourced to other countries, effectively reducing the domestic 2040 target to 85 percent, or that the start of the ETS-2 is postponed to 2028?

6 hours 30 mins they could do from this December, with one change in Badajoz or Elvas - but they're likely not going to do though
So 🤷♂️
Whenever I hear about these long term plans for ES-PT rail, I wonder why they're not doing the basics with what they have right now?

We need "automated enforcement using cameras mounted on buses to capture drivers illegally blocking the bus lane. This makes them more effective, since a bus lane with cars double-parked in it is no bus lane at all."

Eliminating contrails from flying could be incredibly cheap
Could we halve aviation's climate impact at a fraction of the cost of sustainable aviation fuels?

"Eliminating a few percent of the world’s warming is a big deal when the costs are so small. It seems insane to me that such a cheap solution is sitting there, completely untapped."
We could reduce the climate impact of aviation by ≈50% in a few years, and nobody seems to be taking this seriously!
