The Amazon is shifting from carbon sink to carbon source. 15 yrs of CO2 data show that fires are the dominant carbon source and now outpace forest uptake. Deforestation is driving the damage, amplified by drought and El Niño. Protecting forests is climate action. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Right - gas turbines are so expensive right now that it's unbelievable. But tech companies are also rich beyond belief and if gas gets them online quicker they'll happily do it. We know a clean grid is cheaper for everyone - data centre developers are thinking about themselves, not everyone

Erik Schlenker-Goodrich@riogranderift.bsky.social

The vast majority of folks are well aware of the fact that data centers do not really care about power generation costs but, rather, “speed to power.” And well aware, too, that The Breakthrough Institute peddles in disinformation, deflection, & deception, as with this post.

This was led by Evi Wubben and Xiaoqing (two early career researchers) and involves a great team. I have a feeling this will cause some discussion and rethinking, because it implies we don't have to look for period of higher GHG during the MCO. Still a very warm world at relatively low CO2.
