Thanks for sharing the message and all we can is hope that "WE" do something. I suspect we won't as the economy will take a hit worldwide and conceivably trigger a great, great depression. At least that is the fear. So - lip service and hope for a silver bullet?

So much of the $$$ backing RW candidates is coming from the #FossilFuel & beef industries.
When you fight climate change you're also fighting fascism & theocracy.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.

So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.

10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.

She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"

ok, there are illusions but they are not arbitrary as your discussion implies. I your example, the brightness, not color, illusion is due to the surrounding intensities and how the visual system emphasizes relative ove absolute intensity. Necessary as most objects only reflect light and relative intensity is what is more important than absolute intensity. So this illusion illustrates a visual strength not weakness.

2023
warmest year on record

This year has now had six record breaking months.

November had, for the first time ever, two days with a global temperature 2ºC above
preindustrial levels.

These extreme temperatures confirm that 2023 will be the warmest year in recorded history.

It serves as a stark reminder that we need to work together to drastically reduce emissions.

This is why we're pushing for stronger climate ambition, finance, and global energy goals at #COP28

Parts of the Canadian #Arctic observed temperatures up to 10°C above the 1981-2010 average during the month of November!

⚡ For three weeks #Microsoft was sending all tutanota.com emails to spam in #Outlook.

You helped #spread the word so suddenly #Microsoft was able to fix this within one day! 💪

Thank you! 🙏

@lisamelton I miss the leverage Twitter gave people with customer support issues. It’s good to see that hasn’t died.

But I feel about this the way I feel about stories of people donating money for someone’s medical issues. It’s great that worked, but the system is still broken.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged about 420 ppm in November 2023

10 years ago November averaged about 395 ppm

+ Preliminary data: gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

I remember when small experiments to test how high CO2 would affect plant growth used 350 ppm for the “high CO2” treatment. The world has blasted past what we viewed back then as a disastrous number.

Microsoft Outlook is blocking all emails from tutanota.com as spam. @Tutanota is understandably not happy at "radio silence" from Microsoft's support team.

#Google pays 1150 times its entire #lobbying budget in the EU & US to fund its search engine #monopoly.😳

And if that wasn't bad enough, now they're accused of slowing down #YouTube on non-Chrome Browsers like #Firefox! 🤬

Does Google know any shame? Apparently not. 🤡 tuta.com/blog/google-search-mo…

well, we know why they removed the "Don't be evil" motto, don't we?
in reply to Tuta

they are also playing very dirty in affirming their Google shopping over any other price comparison website. Legal proceedings in the EU have been going on for years, now it would appear like Google is throttling traffic to that kind of websites. They've all dropped in visibility over the last few weeks. 🙄
