While most of the climate news this week focuses on the fight for a clear global call to action at #COP28, it's important to remember that our collective progress on climate action doesn't depend on global summits. It does not need to wait for, nor hinge on, what world leaders decide.

Real change is happening now, everywhere - and that's good news. Even better news is that we can each lend a hand. I don't think it's too much to say it's a planetary responsibility for all those who call Earth home.

🌱 According to the Net Zero Tracker, 1,027 companies, 262 cities worldwide and 151 countries have net zero targets -> https://zerotracker.net/

💡 These commitments encompass 88% of global emissions, 89% of the world's population and 92% of global GDP

Washington state's Climate Commitment Act is a case in point. As this op-ed explains, "requiring that polluters pay for and steadily reduce their carbon pollution — not to exceed a cap set by the state. Revenue is then invested in climate resilience for tribal nations and front-line communities, the clean-energy transition, and healthy lands and waters.

Dollars raised from polluters through the cap-and-invest program go directly to action on the ground: community resilience and flood plain management, affordable clean energy to heat and cool homes, accessible electric vehicles and buses, and expanded air-quality monitoring to address environmental health disparities."

The human genome takes about 700 megabytes. The GPT-3 model apparently takes about the same, but in gigabytes.

North Korea wants exponential expansion of nuclear weapons. A logical way to do that would be to split them in half repeatedly.

1000 out of 1200 kids in this school in #Oulu, #Finland, arrive by #bicycle, even in winter. 100-150 walk, rest by ski, kicksleds and car. This day it was -17°C, some days it can be colder than -30°C.

Note that this is only one of the four bicycle parking areas of this school 🤗

Looks like cells are putting their ion channels to surprisingly good use also in cells other than neurons: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867421002233 #science #biology
