Humanity is choosing to fail!
We are doing virtually nothing to try and limit global warming to even 4°C.
Let alone to 1.5°C.
Methane concentrations are following the highest IPCC scenario, now at 1938 ppb.

The number of working satellites has soared in the past five years to around 11,000, mostly because of constellations of orbiters that provide Internet connectivity around the globe, but it comes with a series of problems. Nature explores the issues and how scientists are reacting. 🔭 🧪
Swarms of satellites are harming astronomy. Here’s how researchers are fighting back
SpaceX and other companies plan to launch tens of thousands of satellites, which could mar astronomical observations and pollute the atmosphere.

Tackling Peer review without tackling the unfair editorial system hijacked by big companies is not very illuminating. And I disagree strongly with some ideas, such as paying reviewers (capitalism will pervert the system quickly) or using AI (what can go wrong?).

After a year of battling with rats in Amsterdam, everything finally makes more sense. 🐀✨
Rat populations are rising in cities predominantly because of warmer average temperatures, reports a new #ScienceAdvances study.
Increasing rat numbers in cities are linked to climate warming, urbanization, and human population
