@thardin yes, somewhat but I think the authors do not make the link with the Gaia hypothesis.
#ClimateChange is almost too big a problem to study. The solution? Volcanoes. 🌋
"As #CO2 has built up in the atmosphere over the past decades, many tree species have also been growing faster. By taking carbon out of the atmosphere and locking it away in their bodies, trees have partially been making up for the CO2 we continue to spew from our power plants, tailpipes, and factories".

1 in 5 #Cities Is About to Have a #Climate Unknown to Any Place on Earth
Scientists from the #CrowtherLab at #ETHZurich have for the first time visualised how these climate shifts will play out on a global scale, looking at how conditions in 520 major cities around the world are predicted to change in just three decades.
"By using optimistic #ClimateChange scenario, we represent conservative changes in conditions ..."
I use the Sublime Table Editor a lot (https://github.com/vkocubinsky/SublimeTableEditor) but sometimes I would like to edit #markdown files outside #SublimeText. None of the web services I use (#StackEdit, #HackMD) has anything that even remotely resembles Table Editor.
Are there any alternatives out there I have missed?
@drbjork I am also interested in alternatives :)
Against Twenty-First-Century Race #Science.
Scientists claim they can solve racial inequalities in health care through genetics. It's a wrongheaded and dangerous approach: Reading race into our DNA will only make racism into scientific doctrine.

Indigenous lands are the most effective in preventing deforestation in the #Amazon forest 🌳🌳🌳
See fire counts and indigenous areas in the map.

@jorge There is another rainbow by Ellen Euler and Raoul Poupart that stems from this one.
It's a transfer of this tool scale to #openeduction.
🌈Just found this nice research workflow for #OpenScience practices. Very useful!
@jorge Airplanes are super bad on this front as well. Major source of public health issues in airport communities
#BlackCarbon is the most toxic component emitted by internal combustion engines and it is not monitored nor regulated in Europe. Furthermore, it is emitted by all engine types - not only #diesel 🚗
—Andreas Mayer at #ETHNPC2019
#Nanoparticles #Emissions #ETH
Good news for the #environment: From 2023, aircraft engine particle number and mass emissions during taxi, take-off and landing will be regulated globally ✈️
—Theo Rindlisbacher
This time we will present a comparison of different soot generators, which are potential candidates to be a used as a standard reference material for #BlackCarbon light absorption measurements.
On my way to the 23rd ETH-Conference on Combustion Generated #Nanoparticles. I kind of like the theme chosen for this edition: "Not just Soot and #Diesel alone – Detox of all Combustion Engines has to be the Goal" 🚗
#ETHNPC2019 #Emissions #ETH
As of yesterday, 11 June 2019, measurements from #ESA’s #SMOS mission are being fully integrated into #ECMWF’s forecasting system, allowing for a more accurate description of water content in #soil.
Did you already see the insanely beautiful Map of the #SolarSystem by Eleanor Lutz? 🌌
She published the #python code and a tutorial on how she made it. ❤️
"the impacts of severe El Niño events offer a glimpse into what things could be like in a warming world".

"Ocean color has become a vital metric in #ClimateScience in recent years, since it is difficult, if not impossible, to measure surface temperature across the world’s vast oceans". 🌊
