Pollen-based REVEALS land-cover reconstructions for Europe during the latter half of the Last Glacial Period

We show that glacial refugia and frequent openings of migration corridors may have played a substantial role human dispersal
Landscape reconstructions for Europe during the late Last Glacial (60–20 ka BP): a pollen-based REVEALS approach
Abstract. Vegetation change during the Last Glacial period in Europe plays a crucial role in better understanding the ecosystem dynamics response to abrupt climate change. Yet, most quantitative recon...

Especially the twisted logic of “protecting women” by attacking non-binary individuals always makes me shiver. Distributed by men who literally attack women.
This CDC "survey" getting sent to grantees is wild yall.

This is some serious "Kiss my Ring" level bullshit.

long story short:
- 98% of CO2 from flights
- noticeable decrease during and after (!) COVID-19
- lots of room to emit less CO2

🧵1/ Ever thought about the carbon footprint of medical research? We analyzed travel patterns at a German University hospital from 2018 to 2023 and estimated the effect of reduction measures.

The book has been on my reading list due to its popularity - now I’m quite confused by these claims: tapping techniques, mantra recital, and AVOIDANCE of talking about the traumatic event to prevent re-traumatization. If that’s really the gist of it, that’s downright harmful?!

I don't often give hot takes, but this obsession with turning the 1.5C climate target into an annual benchmark & forgetting that global temperature is responding to only 1% of the heat that's being trapped inside the climate system every year is enough to trigger anyone's internal @andrewdessler.com
