Hi BlueSky and ClimateSky, so happy to find this fresh community of scholars! I’m not a scientist, but work at the intersection of development finance, climate risk analytics and scenario planning. Based in the Netherlands. Always happy to connect and learn.

As @mzjacobson.bsky.social says, there are no miracles needed. We have almost all the tech required to address human-caused climate change. But @doctorvive.bsky.social is right. We need the courage to deploy those technologies as rapidly as possible. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 www.iea.org/reports/worl...

My love for the Campfire Audio Ara set has to be proclaimed. There's good sound quality and there's putting your music on a metaphorical stage so it can present itself in a flamboyant performance - that's what the Ara does to music for me. You're not listening to music, you are enraptured within it.

It is painful for some - perhaps those of us not on this website - to hear but this article is correct in that there is a form of non-partisan “old-school” centrism that really is the Trojan horse of the toxic far right.

Seriously, if someone values high pay per hour with only a few years training, job security for 30+ years, the potential to travel at will, and the feeling you’re contributing to a better world, training as an electrician isn’t a bad strategy.
