Looking for a job. My dream job is in quantitative research. I am specialised in climate data and building science, especially mould and condensation simulation. If I can’t find a job in this area, I can also design (architecture, graphic, web and software) and teach (architecture, CAD, design). I am also open to leaving my area of expertise for another field of research as I have a lot applicable skills. I am looking for work in Sydney, Canberra (woo!) or Launceston. Will consider Melbourne if it comes up. Boost me for eyeballs 👀 ❤️ #fediHire #JobSearch #climateData #climate #getfedihired

It's my pleasure to announce https://storyseedlibrary.org/ - a #library of #solarpunk #art and story seeds to help you imagine a better #climate future!

Huge thanks to all the artists who shared their art under various #creativeCommons licenses, including @the_lemonaut , @NiwlCraft and @jacobcoffin ! No AI will replace handcrafted art!

If you liked our @SolarpunkPrompts #podcast , the Story Seeds are expanding its concept - soon with more, unpublished ones!

What if I told you that most promoted actions about climate-friendly software are misguided?

Backing data for that claim and my opinion on the low-hanging fruits:

https://blog.ltgt.net/climate-friendly-software/

Key takeaways:
* Pick servers in carbon-neutral or low-carbon datacenters first
* Optimize for the perceived performance and battery life
* Don't be the one that will make your users change their device
* Sometimes, ideas aren't even worth their impacts

I have long been of the opinion that economists’ estimations of ‘acceptable’ global warming were dangerously naive. This article by Ann Pettifor provides damning evidence of just how naive these calculations have been, and still are, sadly…
Essential reading for anyone still complacent about the climate emergency!

Just realising I've never done an #introduction ..

living in #moolabinba/#newcastle, #australia, #earth, on the Orion-Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way, somewhere in the Laniakea Supercluster.

I do questionable things with numbers, in particular related to #climate #science, #statistics, and #risk.

I also turn numbers into #music via #musicproduction and #synthesis, and playing #drums.

I'm interested in using these things for #socialchange. Keeping a close eye on #auspol.

Are you sure...?

As might be expected from a capitalist, the worry expressed here is not so much that the breakdown of Earth’s climate and environment threatens extinction for millions of species — including our own — and it’s not so much about the cost in human terms to poor communities in the Global South who will suffer the earliest and worst outcomes.

No, the biggest concern is that capitalism might be in trouble. 😧

How awful! Nothing could possibly be worse than that!!

Unsustainable is:

manufacturers aiming to maximise their profits, but in ways that pollute the #environment

Land change use (e.g., habitat destruction)

Consumerism__varies (e.g., level of income), but the general problems are ignorant people that use, consume & discard "throwaway" products & packaging, with no real sense of awareness, of care, of concern, for the environment

Generally, it requires an informed majority awareness to develop for society to develop to be #sustainable

This book generally explains, from a ministerial perspective, the lessons learnt of how to enshrine sustainable development at the heart of government.

#futuregen: Lessons from a small country — Jane Davidson

If Trump succeeds in torpedoing the economy and causing a recession, decimating tourism and air travel to the US, and weakening industrial production, he may cause a substantial drop in US emissions of climate-destroying gases and help us meet our Paris Agreement commitment.

If you do NOT want to be one of the many who remain blissfully uninformed — those who somehow can stay complacent amid increasing climate chaos — here is an excellent resource for learning what you need to know.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an agency of the United Nations, provides an annual report on the state of the global climate. This year's effort includes a helpful explainer that covers all the basics with a few minutes reading.

SEE THE EXPLAINER ➡️ https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/43a9c636ab3345bfabcb11236c266153

I'm going to pick out several highlights and discuss them in a thread below. This post will serve as an introduction. 🧵 1/5

You can find a link to download the full report here ➡️ https://wmo.int/publication-series/state-of-global-climate-2024

For nearly 50 years #BigOil slow-walked the world to disaster by lying about the danger of Climate Change & creating denial/doubt about the science & solutions. Our latest show digs in to a new report about how they're STILL doing it to our children in our schools

Here we are. It's DegrowThursday again. 💚

Every week on this day I turn my focus toward the most important topic of all. Because if we are to have any hope of maintaining some semblance of a healthy human society going forward, our world must quickly and decisively commit to #degrowth.

We're talking real solutions here! Real answers to the many systemic problems that plague us and threaten our very extinction.

Now, I know how unlikely it is that these solutions will be adopted by our present leadership. And I know how challenging they will be to achieve. I'm under no illusion that any of this will be easy.

But — if we don't know where we want to go, we'll never get there.

So today, I'll provide two resources for learning about degrowth. The first is simpler and more basic, while also offering a more hopeful and positive outlook. The second is a darker vision, presenting additional detail about the daunting challenges we face and the many hard steps that lie ahead of us. I hope you'll read both, or I hope you'll read at least one of them.

That's my intro. 🧵1/3 The next two parts will follow soon...

#introduction

Well, I have an odd hobby. I like to read and find news stories I think are worthwhile, both to keep from being blindsided by events and to stay well-rounded and informed.

My slant does tend to be human rights/justice oriented

Other interests include

#climate
#writing
#history
#crafting
#quilting
#poetry
#fanfic
#folklore
#geology
#sci
#SciFi
#Gaming

Reserve the right to use my judgment about what to share or avoid.

Also, sometimes I post original content.

You couldn't write a dystopian novel with a grimmer plot than what we are witnessing in reality.

Here's how the story goes: Capitalism cuts down all the forests in search of profits, strip-mines the Earth in search of profits, pollutes our air and our water in search of profits... and now, what's left?

Oh, wait, say the capitalists, we haven't dug down into the deep sea yet in search of profits, er, um, minerals. And guess what, we can pretend we're doing that for the sake of the climate and environment!

Yeah, that's the idea. We need those minerals to make electric cars. So it's a win-win. We'll make billions more in profits, AND we'll make ourselves look good by promoting Green Growth! 😃

""Each boreal summer (summer in the northern hemisphere) the vegetation springs to life and captures huge amounts of CO2, drawing down the global atmospheric levels about 7 ppm. This so-called natural sequestration peaked in 2008, and has been declining since"
