"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Some good news: Brazil's fight against deforestation is paying climate dividends.
Brazil records biggest annual fall in emissions in 15 years, notably thanks to fight against deforestation
The gross emissions of Latin America's biggest country fell by 16.7% year-on-year, according to Brazil's Climate Observatory, a network of environmental NGOs.

My jaw literally dropped when I checked out @ignfrance.bsky.social's BD TOPO (high precision database of French infrastructure, here in vector format). Last time I checked (years ago admittedly), this was something that cost several thousands euros for a single département.

In these turbulent times—while the galaxy reels from crisis to crisis—sometimes the only way forward… is sideways, into Star Wars canon. A timeline of every Star Wars show, charted in story-order from the dawn of the Republic to the First Order. #DarthJarJar #StarWars #MayThe4th #Andor #dataviz

NEW | 74% of the global population lives in countries that are net importers of fossil fuels.
12 countries supply 80% of net fossil fuel exports - with rising trade uncertainty, this puts much of the world at risk.

In 2004, it took the world a year to add one gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day.

Extremely enjoyable progression so far... Which one should be next?

I'm afraid I'm going down this rabbit hole of building physical data viz with Lego. #midlifeCrisis
Expect stop motion builds of wind turbines, EV vs petrol car (bar chart) races, me piling up yellow bricks to explain solar autoconsumption, and more 😁

Ever wondered what a country’s meat supply looks like? 🍗🐄🐖🐟
Here’s a breakdown of meat preferences in Japan, the US & Germany—visualized as hybrid animals! A fun (and slightly cursed) way to see food stats. 🧵👇

Stoked to announce that I joined Octopus Energy as a Data Visualisation Engineer last December! (yes, better outrageously late than never)

I’ve decided to dedicate myself full time to earth.nullschool.net. There is much work to do! In particular, I’m going to explore ways for the site to help fight climate change. More on this in the near future.
It’s been an amazing 10 years. Here’s hoping for 10 more. 🎉

Did you know? The United States depends on a little more than 5% of its counties to produce half of the crops consumers eat.
We helped build the Plotline Food Twin project alongside CU Boulder and Earth Genome researchers to visualize the U.S. food system.

Wind and solar power have taken off over the past two decades, faster than experts ever expected. But it hasn’t yet been enough to halt the rise of coal- and gas-burning generation.

For the mathematicians in the room, that's the second derivative pointing in the right direction at last.
For the rest of us: bathtub overflowing, and we are no longer turning up the spigot even further.
Good news. Now, to get CO₂ emissions down, to zero.
