Due to unusually low sea ice in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, the size of the global sea ice departure is growing to its most anomalous yet this year...

I was going to say "Nov/Dec" data points will be interesting, but I'm afraid that might not prove to be the right word.

"This one-hectare rooftop oasis has become one of the largest places for animals to touch down, uninterrupted by chemicals and humans, from Monterey Bay all the way to Marin – a distance of about 190 kilometres.

"Though the living roof is small in comparison to other whole-landscape #rewilding projects, the hidden secrets and history of this patch of green hold inspiration and lessons for small-scale rewilding efforts in cities everywhere."

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged about 419 ppm in September 2023

10 years ago September averaged about 394 ppm

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

Red line graph time series of monthly carbon dioxide abundance from January 1959 through September 2023. There is a seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Current levels of CO2 are at 419 ppm. This is the Keeling Curve graph. A line for CO2 10 years ago is also annotated.

Heat map-style graphic showing monthly air temperature rankings in the Arctic at the 925 hPa level for each month from January 1979 to September 2023. There is a long-term warming trend evident in each month. Blue shading is shown for colder months, and red shading is shown for warmer months. A yellow number is shown for each grid box to display the actual temperature ranking. September 2023 was the 6th warmest September on record.

Können wir sicher sein dass diese Zahlen stimmen? Die Lufttemperaturen steigen derart rasant an? Möglicherweise haben wir es doch nur mit einem #Messfehler zu tun. <\#Sarkasmus off>.

#Arctic sea ice formation remains very slow across the region from the Beaufort to East Siberian Seas. Its current extent is tied for the lowest on record (with 2012) for this time of year.

Map of Arctic: zacklabe.files.wordpress.com/2…. Data: nsidc.org/data/seaice_index.

Line graph time series of 2023's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to each year from 1979 to 2022 as shown with thin lines in colors from purple to white. This graph is for the Beaufort, Chukchi, and East Siberian Seas regions. There is large daily variability, but a long-term decreasing trend is visible during the melt season months. A seasonal cycle is also visible in this region, with the basin filling up completely with ice during the wintertime for all years. The lowest on record is 2012.

Oh look, another absurd climate graph from this summer - sea surface temperature anomalies in the North Atlantic for every August since 1854... 🥴

Data available from NOAA ERSSTv5 (psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data…).

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each August from 1850 through 2023 for only the North Atlantic. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2023 is easily the warmest on record.

Three orthographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in August 2023, June 2023 to August 2023, and September 2022 to August 2023. Red shading is shown for warmer anomalies, and blue shading is shown for colder anomalies. Most areas are warmer than average. The mean temperature anomaly for each map is also displayed. Anomalies are calculated relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Last month was particularly striking when looking at only the Northern Hemisphere. It wasn't anywhere close to the previous record.

[Data/methods: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/faq…]

While line graph time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each Northern Hemisphere August from 1880 through 2023. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. A 30-year lowess smoothing line is also shown with a red line. The global mean surface temperature anomaly in August 2023 was 1.57°C for the Northern Hemisphere. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1951-1980 climate baseline.

Trade-free explanation

Trade-free explanation

Trade-free, as the name suggests, refers to a unique form of exchange where neither party is obligated to give or receive anything in return. The trade-free principle applies to all sorts of exchanges, including goods, services, information, and even relationships. This type of exchange is based on the principle of voluntary contribution and complete freedom in decision-making.

It is different from gifting because in gifting, there might still be implicit expectations of reciprocity or a social obligation. Thus, even gifting is not truly trade-free as there may be an expectation of reciprocation, whereas trade-free transactions have no strings attached at all.

For example, open-source software is a good example of trade-free offering because they are free to use and modify by anyone without any strings attached. The developers do not expect any return from the users, making it a trade-free offering.

Very excited to be implementing rich widgets to display other types of #ActivityPub objects in Bonfire. Here are a few examples showing activities federated from @peertube @pixelfed and @mobilizon.
What types should we implement next?

The extent of my moderation experience has been a few old phpbb forums and a few admittedly large Facebook groups. Let me think it over and I’ll get back to you shortly.

I also wonder if it might benefit from ebooks being separate because authors could post updates about them as theoretically as well as it’d be easier to manage spam.
