Scientists have said that we can cool the #planet back down. Now they’re not so sure.
It might be possible to “overshoot” & then return to our #climate targets. But some changes will be irreversible.
For years, scientists & world leaders have pinned their hopes for the future on a hazy promise — that, even if temperatures soar far above global targets, the planet can eventually be cooled back down.

But a new study published Wed in the journal #Nature shows that blowing past #climate goals is more dangerous than it originally seemed. Even if temperatures come back down to 1.5°C, the authors found, many climate impacts — like rising #SeaLevels & thawing #permafrost — will persist for centuries to millennia.
#ClimateCrisis #ClimateScience #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #VoteBlue
nature.com/articles/s41586-024…
For example, for every 10 yrs #Earth’s temperature remains 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, the researchers calculated, sea level will rise by about 4 cm, or 1.6”. Even a small increase in #SeaLevelRise can lead to more dangerous #flooding when #hurricanes & heavy #rains strike. (In #Florida, which is currently facing the danger of Hurricane #Milton, #SeaLevels are already 8” higher than they were in 1950.)

The situation in Jabalia camp, northern Gaza is catastrophic.
The camp is surrounded by Israeli tanks, people are under siege and are running out of food and water. Anyone attempting to flee is shot. Hospitals have been ordered to evacuate. Journalists are targeted.
Bodies are in the streets that people cannot reach.
The video shows the aftermath of an Israeli strike today on a camp for the displaced near Yemen Al Saeed hospital - reports of 17 killed including children.

Trump claims to be women's "protector."
A new report detailing his extensive cover-up for Kavanaugh shows he actually protects sexual predators, like himself.
An analysis.
Why read past comments: You already know Trump is a predator, not a protector.
What I add is analysis about how he is pro-rape — for men like himself. He sees the "right" to rape as a perk of privilege. His words and behavior on this are clear.
"Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone.
This is what many Americans will now see."

mastodon does not support importing of old posts and the plugin does not send posts that where posted before the first person followed your blog.

in reply to Matthias Pfefferle • • •@cdevroe@cdevroe.com I see. My goal is to have @colin be MY account. But, if I turn my author profile off it doesn't post as me. So I have to keep both on. But I don't want @cdevroe@cdevroe.com to exist.
By the way, if I'm asking these questions in the wrong spot, please let me know. I don't want to bother you.

I can confirm that if I have the blog profile on, but ActivityPub off for a specific user, the blog profile does not post. :(
Should I file this as a bug? I'm not sure that it is a bug though. I don't know what people's expectation would be in this circumstance. My guess is that they would expect it to work the way it is working now.

No urgency here. I suppose I can enable ActivityPub for my author profile for now. Perhaps in the future there can be a way to pull this off.
Oh, while I have you, do know if there is a way to retroactively _delete_ a profile on ActivityPub? I realize each instance would need to know. But say I wanted to delete @cdevroe@cdevroe.com ?

in reply to Colin Devroe • • •@cdevroe@cdevroe.com Ahhh! now I understand your problem! this is in case a special case that is not supported yet!
thanks for filing the issue, I will think about how to properly fall back to the blog author in this case!
