“We should expect more such climate unrest. One study from scientists at #PusanNationalUniversity, South Korea, (Christian Franzke, a climate scientist and project leader at the ‘Institute for Basic #Science Center for #ClimatePhysics’) published at the end of 2025, forecasts that three-quarters of the world’s most #drought-prone regions will be at risk of “day zero” by the end of the century, and a third of them will be hit before 2030.” — James Meadway

How ‘day zero’ water shortages in Iran are fuelling protests

Supply failures are dramatic example of way climate crisis threatens basic human needs – and with it political stability

Heat spirals off charts.
"No time, let's act", I assert.
You whine, "If you're wrong?"

A boulder rolls straight at you.
Is debating physics best?

This history of #EuniceFoote was very good, but I'm curious about how the lab recreation of the glass tube experiment worked, given glass is opaque to infra-red, unlike Tyndall's rock salt.

Is CO₂ warming in containers down to reduced convection? Bell (2019) https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.8b01057

Ortiz & Jackson (2020) aren't clear about why it works:

We recreate the first experiment linking carbon dioxide to a warmer earth.
