"We measured #methane exchange on hundreds of tree stems in forests along a climate gradient spanning the Amazon and Panama, through to Sweden and the UK.

In total, our cautious first estimate is that trees take up between about 25 and 50 million tonnes of atmospheric methane each year, with most taken up by tropical forests."

Oh, that reminds me. I want to look up how much radon biochar can adsorb so that I can try to make the case that it should be deposited under every new building that gets built from here on out.

We can be serious.. and still smile

We can make a serious point, also with a joke

We can laugh

Danish comedian Victor Borge used to say "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

Kamala Harris knows how to deliver a joke and she can laugh. Her smile is contagious

SMILE FOR THE WIN

I haven't seen the new Civil War movie, but I think they missed a chance at setting it entirely in The Villages with entirely golf cart-based warfare.

Have you seen the videos of the soldiers that the Kremlin has been sending towards the front on golf carts in order to flush out Ukrainian positions?

It's funny, but it is also not funny at all like so much is when dealing with organizations like the Kremlin and the GOP.

Tsk, tsk... The hotter it gets, the more Paks (and other nuclear plants) will be used to cool off humans! The #DanubeRiver is already heating up and drying out because of #ClimateChange!

#Hungary to allow #NuclearPlant to exceed #Danube water temperature limit

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - "Hungary is planning to allow the temperature limit for a section of the Danube which receives cooling water from the #Paks #NuclearPowerPlant to be exceeded for security of supply reasons, the energy ministry said in a statement on Friday.

"The plant's four reactors operate by using the water of the Danube to cool its operations. Currently, according to the regulation, the river cannot receive water if its temperature exceeds 30 degree Celsius, in which case the operator must cut output and wait for the river to cool below the limit.

"'Due to climate change, weather conditions may increasingly lead to the limit being reached in summer, especially at low water levels,' the statement read."

I think a lot about this 2018 Rolling Stone interview with Pete Buttigieg (when he was still mayor of South Bend, Indiana)
in which he offers his thoughts on recasting “concepts that conservatives have traditionally ‘owned’
— like freedom, family, and patriotism
— in more progressive terms”...

You’ll hear me talk all the time about #freedom. Because I think there is a failure on our side if we allow conservatives to monopolize the idea of freedom
- especially now that they’ve produced an authoritarian president.
But what actually gives people freedom in their lives?
The most profound freedoms of my everyday existence have been safeguarded by progressive policies, mostly.
The freedom to marry who I choose, for one,
but also the freedom that comes with paved roads and stop lights.
Freedom from some obscure regulation is so much more abstract.
But that’s the freedom that conservatism has now come down to.

Or think about the idea of #family, in the context of everyday life.
It’s one thing to talk about family values as a theme, or a wedge
— but what’s it actually like to have a family?
Your family does better if you get a fair wage, if there’s good public education, if there’s good health care when you need it.
These things intuitively make sense, but we’re out of practice talking about them.

I also think we need to talk about a different kind of #patriotism:
a fidelity to American greatness in its truest sense.
You think about this as a local official, of course, but a truly great country is made of great communities.
What makes a country great isn’t chauvinism. -- It’s the kinds of lives you enable people to lead.
I think about wastewater management as freedom.
If a resident of our city doesn’t have to give it a second thought, she’s freer.

Information about this data set is available at http://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/piomas-20c/. Note that it is only updated through 2010 due to ERA-20C forcing.
Fascinating to see the changes in Arctic sea ice thickness over the decades. 🧊📉 The last decade really highlights the urgent need for climate action. Thanks for sharing this insightful data! 🌍 #ClimateChange #ArcticIce

Americans should despise the Kremlin more than we do imo.

This film opens by summarizing one of history's earliest and most effective campaigns of deception. In 1983, a small New Dehli newspaper published an article promoting a rumor that AIDS was a U.S. invention designed to kill African Americans and homosexuals.

According to one ex-KGB operative, up to 85% of their agency's efforts are devoted to the spread of these false stories.

The holidays are upon us & many of you may be wondering just how many books to take with you (if, like me, you are an e-book refusenik).

Here's Tom Gauld's decision tool - enjoy.

And, you may need a bigger suitcase....

Cartoon: How many books should Take on holiday with me?

Presents decision tool that starts with 'Have you got a book in your suitcase' and then through a circular logic tied up with anxiety about running out of books requires the user to buy a bigger suitcase as they work their way round the process.

[Apologies couldn't see how to convey the 'tool' clearly in the alt.text]
