Well, on the upside, it did allow a billionaire Nazi complete access all the data of the U.S. government.

8 Things to Know About New Research on Earth’s Rapid Drying and the Loss of Its Groundwater
Decades of NASA satellite data reveal how quickly the planet’s underground stores of fresh water have been depleted and how their use is contributing to rising sea levels. Here are the key takeaways.

Il n’aura fallu que 6 mois pour que des publications officielles américaines soient climatosceptiques. Trump est un criminel, et il ne faut pas oublier qu’on a les mêmes en France, du gouvernement Bayrou à l’extrême-droite, qui veulent réduire ou supprimer les agences environnementales.
I've been asked by reporters to comment on this. I wish I could but I don't want to.
What I will say is that I'm relieved to find out that ocean acidification from fossil fuel CO₂ emissions isn't a problem because the ocean was more acidic when life first evolved billions of years ago. 🙄

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

1 GW is about one nuclear reactor...
China added 464 GW of solar in the last 12 months. The US? Just 50 GW. But here’s the kicker: China’s growth +62% alone (+178 GW vs same time last year) was over 3× the entire U.S. solar build in that time. The gap isn’t closing—it’s going supernova.☀️⚡🇨🇳 #EnergyTransition #SolarPower #Disruption #LFP
