@timothysnyder.bsky.socialReposted by @peterthorne.bsky.socialWhen Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

10–97 percent in nine minutes!
The Atto 8 (Tang L in China) is essentially an extended version of the current #BYD Tang. However, new battery technology delivers massive charging power.

@climatedynamics.bsky.socialReposted by @peterthorne.bsky.socialWe compiled a bunch of temperature proxy data and concluded that the Miocene Climatic "Optimum" wasn't significantly warmer than the rest of the (very warm) early Miocene. The MMCT was definitely a cooling. Implications for CO2 versus ocean circulation mechanisms. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

@bjerknes.uib.noReposted by @peterthorne.bsky.socialWhat can 8,000 years of flood history tell us about the future?
Sediment cores from Lake Vangsvatnet in Norway reveal traces of ancient floods, helping researchers understand past extremes and better assess future flood risks.🧪

@neweconomics.bsky.socialReposted by @peterthorne.bsky.socialRetrofitting social homes and privately rented homes should be a priority. We need to do this street by street, just like this country did when Britain adopted natural gas. But making cuts now will only make it harder for the government and businesses to deliver this in future.
@envpillar.bsky.socialReposted by @peterthorne.bsky.socialIn 2019 the Dáil declared a “climate and biodiversity emergency”.
