First Greenhouse Gas Plumes Detected With NASA-Designed Instrument


The imaging spectrometer aboard the Carbon Mapper Coalition’s Tanager-1 satellite identified methane and carbon dioxide plumes in the United States and internationally.

Using data from an instrument designed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, the nonprofit Carbon Mapper has released the first methane and carbon dioxide detections from the Tanager-1 satellite. The detections highlight methane plumes in Pakistan and Texas, as well as a carbon dioxide plume in South Africa.

The data contributes to Carbon Mapper’s goal to identify and measure greenhouse gas point-source emissions on a global scale and make that information accessible and actionable.

How will the natural gas lobby claim it's so much better than coal now that we can see methane leaks? NASA doesn't seem to care about capitalism
in reply to leftytighty

But NASA does care about Congress approving its budget requests. And the Republican controlled House and Republican filibustering Senate minority do not want anything done about climate change.

Thus sadly, it may lead to blowback against NASA by the currently insane US right. There's already talk about elimination of NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), privatizing its weather forecasting, and restructuring NASA's Earth observation initiatives that involve climate research.

Regardless of who wins the presidency next month and who has the majority in either house of Congress, the Republican party will try to block such research or dismiss its findings.

If Trump wins, he and his Agenda 2025 cronies (including his VP) will manipulate him to rip anything like this out. Plus Trump's boss Putin needs to keep selling fossil fuels as the main thing keeping Russia's economy afloat.

Yeah, turns out war is pretty fucked up. Look up the rape of nanjing. Or Pearl Harbor. Or Hiroshima.

You get the idea.

And Japanese cannibalism of executed POW's, and Ishii's biological warefare unit. War is Hell.
in reply to Jumpingspiderman

The US was the model for biological testing and eugenics, that's not why they fought japan, nor was it even one of the stated reasons at the time.
in reply to BurgerPunk [he/him, comrade/them]

Maybe I have an edgy take but I really don't care about brutality against Japanese imperialists. I hold them as much more evil than the Nazis during the 20th century.
in reply to Wakmrow [he/him]

That is edgy. Stalin virulently rebuked war crimes against Nazi Germany's civilians and POWs as it pushed them back.

By contrast, the brutality, starvation, and high death rates for nazi POWs held by the US in western europe during and after ww2 is not a story most ppl know about. Losurdo gets into this a bit, as well as contrasts the nazi's position that the slavic ppl must be eradicated and made into slaves, while the USSR's position was that germany and the german ppl will go on after the war, and efforts should be made to not follow the nazi's scorched earth policy.

Do some people actually get these messages? It sounds almost illegal. I get emails from management moaning at me for not using my annual leave and reminding me to take them before they reset.

I've worked in a small company's small team of 3 devs before, it would not have been great for the company if two or all of us went on a holiday at the same time.

Great article!

I'm a new user of KDE and I like it, but sometimes it's just tiering to try to set it up like I would like.

A simple exemple, Meta+Mouse_scroll to change the desktop.
By default in Gnome and I've no idea with KDE (for know, maybe you have a tip for me???? ;) ).

in reply to Jure Repinc

Interesting blog post!

I'll definitely be checking KDE out after last using it years ago! (no slight on KDE, just my use-case changed and I don't have much use for full DEs on Linux).

Seems osnews.com goes back years and years although I can't say I noticed it until the Asahi kerfuffle and I wasn't impressed with what I saw. Still, not many blogs have that kind of longevity.

Israel detains US journalist reporting on damage to its military bases


Israel has detained American Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo while he was on assignment in Israel.

According to social media posts, Loffredo was detained on Tuesday along with four other journalists who were “beaten, blindfolded, and taken to an Israeli military base.” They also had their phones confiscated. Loffredo remains in custody, while the others, including Andrey X, were released 11 hours later.

Loffredo’s last video posted on X reported the damage caused by the Iranian missile strikes on Israel’s military sites on 1 October. Social media users believe this is the reason for his detention as no local news organisations have covered the damage from the attack.
