IPCC climate model projections compared against latest (Berkeley Earth) global temperature observations (via @Hausfath). We're seeing the predicted steady warming.

The warming will continue as long as carbon emissions continue. That's entirely up to us.

For the cost of $285 million, Milan will be building 466 miles of fully separated bike lanes. Building a fully interconnected bike network for 35% of the cost of rebuilding a Chicago highway interchange is simply a no-brainer.

Bevor wir uns Gedanken über KI im KH machen, sollten wir uns um solche Probleme kümmern Herr Lauterbach!

At virtually every public talk I've ever given, someone asks -- often in an aggressive if not hostile tone -- why I don't single out overpopulation as one of the main drivers of the climate crisis. wapo.st/3QFOzyn

Back in 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise.

His solution: Fewer government subsidies for fossil fuels and use of renewable energy.

I experimented how different alkalinity sources interact with beach sand. I came across something important, which I termed the 'additionality problem' of #OAE , i.e., the interaction of anthropogenic alkalinity with natural alkalinity release.

The Australian government is funding “cloud-brightening” to save the #GreatBarrierReef from anthropogenic heating.

They’ll need…

Clouds (to brighten)
Salt-spray (that actually rises, into the clouds),
A few 1000 small ships (for 3-4 months, each summer).

Sounds promising.

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “ #Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.
