From the Yale piece, looks like "the cause of the decade-long hiatus in rising methane emissions was the fallout from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991."

@simon_brooke locally the builr their downtown in a leveed RIVERBED. When it dries in the summer you can smell swamp gas, methane, in a number of places. That's why. Wetlands are SUPPOSED TO generate methane and the FACTORS are only relevant becase STUPID HUMANS live near them. Greedy 'scientists' with Grant Money pay their bills doing MEANINGLESS RESEARCH. Go away and LEAVE THE WETLANDS to be what they are.

@kimlockhartga One strongly suspects we’ve already hit the point of no return and we hit it a while back. Look at the curve on that graph - up, up and away!
I don't think people understand all the effects, besides weather disasters and the resulting increase in climate refugees. It greatly affects our ability to grow food, and even the food that we do grow will yield fewer and fewer nutrients due to soil acidification. Ocean life is already suffering. I see a lot of starvation in the near future.
Yup, it’s going to get progressively worse. Reducing emissions might help but it’s probably far too late. We are in “live with it” phase now. Pity our dear leaders really have no idea what to do.

@alex_p_roe people are way too conditioned to wanting immediate results. We could explain that we would not even see improvement for decades, even if we started to do everything right, at this exact minute, but almost no one would accept that.
I think the only hope is a disaster that gets rid of enough of us that we have to start over as a human population. I know that sounds both horrifying and extreme
@kimlockhartga Ha! It is a wee bit extreme and, sadly, probably won’t make much difference IMHO. Humanity’s memory is also remarkably short term too. We know there’s virtually no hope when people like Trump end up in power. Pity, it’s a pretty world 🙂
@Wyatt_H_Knott That's quite interesting compared to down here in the Mid-Atlantic, where we haven't had any sign of winter in New Jersey since February. Feels like winter long ended down here.
🍃 Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists. It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by the community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware.
@richlv @thibaultmol@en.osm.town @drdelle @fabiux@mastodon.opencloud.lu @forgejo@floss.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Sure thing, we’ll do a post-mortem. No any details from GitHub yet.
Thats great news! And not so good at the same time..we all know most contributors are on github, but hopefully it will be as recognizable as it was on github.
Sorry, I have to ask. Do you support the russian invasion into Ukraine? Please make a clear statement, don't leave any room for alternative interpretations.
@eatham Donetsk and Luhansk are shown as Ukrainian on Organic Maps. Crimea has a border with Ukraine and not with Russia. On upstream OSM it has borders with both. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm missing some nuance.
Also on OM, HK is part of the Guangdong map, but that is more weird than political. 😄
My question was not about borders. I'm asking because it looks like they have someone on their team who traveled to Crimea. Only one kind of people travel to Crimea and only one kind of people keeps them in a team.
@chebra I agree that it raises flags. I was responding to the question in the immediate comment I was responding to, as I looked into the very same thing the other day and came to a different conclusion than they.
If the maps are different from upstream, it becomes more than a moral problem, it becomes a concrete influence operation.
My #Arctic observation and climate model comparison page has been updated through 2024 (along with the addition of a new visualization or two). This page is updated seasonally. zacklabe.com/climate-model-pro…
Note: The climate model projections here primarily use SSP3-7.0/RCP8.5, which consider extreme greenhouse gas emissions scenarios (outliers). I will include more realistic SSP2-4.5 graphics in a fu…
ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather for the past 8 decades.
Data is available from 1940 onwards.
ERA5 replaces the ERA-Interim reanalysis.
Now looking at a spatial view of temperature anomalies during the December to February 2025 period again highlights the relative Arctic warmth and lack of cold departures to be found anywhere outside of the central Pacific.
Me & Māra are doing a lot of nature & wildlife protection and conservation work, and need some financial support. This week we participated in 2 actions, the first one was dolphin research expedition in France, 2nd habitat restoration for birds in Slovenia. We have a Patreon page where we share our updates, plans, ideas, behind the scenes and other information. Anyone can support us there starting just from 5 euro per month. And we always produce short documentaries about the work we did, and about amazing project and organizations we are joining. If you think that what we do is important please support us there. patreon.com/c/BeBraveToAct Thank you
