Another 'first paper' from one of my PhD students, this time by Osayomwanbor Oghama. This paper is looking at stove emissions, focused on the chemical profiling using CIMS and AMS according to different fuels and burning conditions.

Variations in oxygenated and nitrogen-containing primary organic compounds based on the fuel type and burning condition in stove emissions
Biomass burning emits primary organic gases and particles on a global scale, partly from domestic combustion. While there is growing understanding of the composition and characteristics of these emiss...

So…about AI’s energy use…

“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”
Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour
That's a long time in the microwave.

Melting Arctic ice isn’t just bad for polar bears; it’s bad for us, too.

A warmer Arctic and changing circulation patterns affect coastlines, crops, and climate patterns around the world.
What happens in the Arctic doesn't really matter, right?
