contrails.org do a great job of explaining this and have some solid interactive tools that allow you to simulate the effect of flight plan changes: https://explore.contrails.org/explorer?time_start=2025-01&ti...

Tomorrow’s efforts have been creative and very interesting to follow. It was sad to hear that the demand is so weak for their solutions.

This is worth reading all the way through. The script the Times team wrote to keep Bing and other search engines accountable is a great example of effective tech journalism.

One could drive an electric car for nearly 2000 miles with that much energy.

Collective action is probably much more meaningful than individual action. So spporting candidates that are serious about implementing policies like a carbon tax or eliminating exsisting economic incentives for fossil fuels is probably the

Just because the bleeding is less worse than it was in the early 2000s doesn’t mean the bleeding is good.

No. The areas burned in the Amazon are replaced by grazing and farming fields, which are vastly less effective at locking in carbon. They’re also not a replacement for lost ecosystems.

It's a little surprising that even with a two-speed Gearbox the Taycan has neither better range nor low range 0-60 acceleration than the Tesla P100D (which has the same size battery). Obviously spec comparisons aren't the whole st

The Amazon does not burn naturally. Fires there are man made to clear land for agriculture.

Definitions here "wildfire, defined as largescale forest loss resulting from the burning of forest vegetation with no visible human conversion or agricultural activity afterward". There is clear agricultural activity immediately s

Blaming NGO's is ridiculous gaslighting. Agriculture and forestry drive Brazil's forest loss. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/361/6407/1108.ful...

Bolsonaro has clearly encouraged deforestation. No other recent Brazilian political leader been so explicit about it. He has also encouraged harassment and hate towards natives living in forested areas. https://www.theguardian.co

These are man-made fires driven by large-scale deforestation. Calling them wildfires is misleading.

by gleglegle 7y ago
Your first point is misleading. Satellite imagery and in the ground evidence clearly shows that the fires are almost exclusively driven by humans. Not wildfires. This is conscious deforestation at a massive scale. The dry season has made th

They've obviously put a lot of work on this, but the drawn out long transitions are horrible and really take away from the images that should be the focus of the experience.

Not true. Flaring of natural gas will happen until it’s prohibited, as it has since the inception of the industry. Building pipelines and chemical plants is not viable in most of the cases where gas is flared.
