Basilica emerges from lake, illuminating early Church life in Turkey.
Known as the Basilica of the Holy Fathers, it marks the site of one of the early Church's most important gatherings which took place in Nicaea 12 years after the Roman Empire legalised Christianity in AD 325

An aesthetic decision? Probably not. Between the late 40s till the 60s and 70s they took what they had and made the best of it. Many people of the post-war generations upcycled, saved old glass, packaging, patched, stopped, sewed, knitted, and preserved food.
I've been watching some yard-cleaning videos from SE London, and noticed that so many houses have this peculiar paving stone style with multicolored slabs. I assume this was the style in the late 40s/early 50s when rebuilding areas after the Blitz?

The other certainty about overshoot is that even if we eventually get back to 1.5°C, a lot more people will suffer because we didn’t reduce emissions earlier and more rapidly.
Now that we are likely to cross 1.5°C, there is increasing discussion on "overshoot".
There is a lot of uncertainties on overshoot, but there is one thing that we are 100% sure about:
GHG emissions need to go down >90% in decades for overshoot to be a reality.

When a Swedish minister gets this sassy, it means that they’re furious.

There's a conflict of goals between the Environmental Protection Movement and biodiversity. Focusing on protection of native species means insects in increasingly mild winters from January to March will not find any food. Planting carefully selected species that then bloom is a way to help insects.

Most balanced take on #COP30 I have seen thus far:
Quick post on how COP30 was a mix of success and failure, but the narrative battle is starting to see it as a failure and that’s really bad news. As ever the onus is now on governments and businesses that want climate action to step up.

„The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein”
One thing the emails have firmly put to bed is the idea that the desire for intellectual exchange might have been part of that reason.
