Bye.
I do wonder if the cost of capturing that carbon has been included in the published cost of a launch? at $0.5/kg that's $10,000,000.
One of the authors (Johan Rockström) created the planetary boundaries framework (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundaries) which includes all of those. So they are being included by most. Certainly there are…
ok. yep that's a thing.
I keep hearing this, and it doesn't make sense. We don't have a london-sized tent city anywhere. But we have generations that can't afford to buy a home, and the rental market is brutal, but we have piles of london…
I know a bit of the history with this one. Back in the day there was a smaller consultancy with awesome developers called LShift (mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_London_Tech_City). They worked out that…
That's why we now have the Vimes Boot Index - https://www.vimesbootsindex.co.uk/

Why is reporting scientific findings considered political?
I really prefer Ministry to termination shock. I mean, it's a fun book, but it offers no solution (eg sulphur seeding does nothing for ocean acidification, not to mention termination shock). The fact that people read it…
News people don't like is often dismissed as 'hysterics', 'alarmism', etc, which is a well known cognitive bias. Nearly all people trying to improve the future do so sensibly, following established processes and norms…
I guess you mean Naomi Wolf, as the sub-title makes clear? Quite different people. Klein is an excellent writer and thinker. Wolf is deep in the conspiracy hole.
There was a fascinating(!) thread here https://twitter.com/ProfColinDavis/status/165555527715073229... with a longer story: Right-wing "English Constitution Party" were going to demonstrate with rape alarms…
I live in (as I remember it) the prime example here. Birmingham UK. There were many articles about it some years ago. So, to fact check from the ground, there are no no-go areas. We're multi-cultural, and we do it well.
True. But whenever I discuss the climate crisis/future with non-billionaires (i.e. most people I know) there's a significant population of 'don't worry we'll move to mars if it gets too bad'. I mean, have you been on HN…

Danny is awesome
Yeah I had a jacket that had worn through, and sent it back to them for repair for free. Brilliant.
Ohh, I loved this blog - glad to find it again! Particularly remember https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2011/08/recipe-for-climate-change... - an understandable back-of-the-envelope calculation of how f*&ked we are with CO2…
If the train had enough battery to get through the tunnel, but was charged on the main line, that would work wouldn't it?
It sounds like you are doing a lot in your personal life. Well done! Don't be so quick to disempower yourself. Everyone has something they can do (you're already doing a lot). Even just talking about it is extremely…
