First the earthquake in Morocco and now the flooding and dam failure in Eastern Libya - nearly 5000 lives lost in a week in North Africa.

Technology will lead us to our doom. The division and social issues it creates and the misinformation and the era of the fake and lies... This will end up badly.

Supermarket AI meal planner app suggests recipe that would create chlorine gas
A New Zealand supermarket experimenting with using AI to generate meal plans has seen its app produce some unusual dishes – recommending customers recipes for deadly chlorine gas, “poison bread sandwiches” and mosquito-repellent roast potatoes.- well I'm off to make some “aromatic water mix”Nutter

What Does Global Land Climate Look Like at 2°C Warming?
Abstract
Constraining an increase in global mean temperature below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels is critical to limiting dangerous and cascading impacts of anthropogenic climate change. Understanding future climatic changes and their spatial heterogeneity at 2°C warming is thus important for policy makers to prepare actionable adaptation and mitigation plans by identifying where and to what extent lives and livelihoods will be impacted. This study uses the recently released NASA Earth eXchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX-GDDP) CMIP6 data to provide a broad overview of projected changes in six key climate variables and two climate impact indicators at a time when warming exceeds 2°C. Analysis of global mean temperature changes indicates the 2040s as the decade when most CMIP6 models reach 2°C warming with respect to a pre-industrial period (1850–1900). During the 2040s, we find that global mean temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, downwelling shortwave and longwave radiation, and wind speed over land under the high emission scenario are projected to change by +2.8°C, +22.4 mm/year, −0.73%, −2.23 , +15.9 W/m2, and −0.04 m/s, respectively. Many of the future changes are expected to exacerbate climate impacts including heat stress and fire danger. Our analysis shows geographic patterns of policy-relevant climatic changes, as parts of the globe will experience significant climate impacts even if the goal to keep warming below 2°C goal is achieved. Our results highlight the urgent need for further studies focused on identifying key hotspots and advancing region-specific actionable adaptation and mitigation plans.- oh noes!zardoz

Individual action won't save the planet. Corporations, enabled by governments, did the damage and only they have the reach to undo it.
- If anything will save the planet, it's profit. Things just need to get bad enough that the profit mechanic can kick in.
It's perverse.Nairn - Either way, we're paying somehow.Nairn

World on brink of five ‘disastrous’ climate tipping points, study finds
Giant ice sheets, ocean currents and permafrost regions may already have passed point of irreversible changeIt shows five dangerous tipping points may already have been passed due to the 1.1C of global heating caused by humanity to date.
These include the collapse of Greenland’s ice cap, eventually producing a huge sea level rise, the collapse of a key current in the north Atlantic, disrupting rain upon which billions of people depend for food, and an abrupt melting of carbon-rich permafrost.

- We're likely the only shot at spreading Gaia beyond Earth, so we shouldn't be so quick to shit on ourselves. Not that we don't deserve it, of course.Nairn
- @Nairn You've watched too much SF, space is baren and very hostile to anything "life" so our chances are very slim to almost none...grafician
- And the fact we destroy this place over some "stories" we tell ourselves like capitalism, money, power, etc. it's stunning the arrogance & stupidity we displaygrafician
- More that once upon a time I took a fair amount of psychedelics and traversed the universe, so know our plight is greyer than pure black negativity allows.Nairn

- It's not narcissistic to admit that we're causing this.garbage
- Furry muff. I think whether or not it's our fault will be argued forever. Either way we should probably end the frivolous digging up, burning and disposing.MrT
