@academicchatter @academicsunite using #chatgp3 as an assistant helps reduce the time it takes engineer a code solution. It's really does cut hours of your time. However .... Using it as a research assistant, in terms of searching, it's actually pretty limited. I tried searching for papers by topic, I did five separate tests, returning 25 papers and links. Validation of the links returned a 404. But, searching the individual papers themselves, not one of the 25 papers was actually real.

Are national policymakers knowingly ignoring #sustainability pathways that would get us to global #netzero sooner because their own territory will not recieve short-term gains?

What is the net-zero lag time that results from failing to prioritise #climate security?

I recently wrote an article on circular pathways for pathways for Scotch Whisky co-products that highlights the urgent need for this debate.

Meat industry blocked the IPCC’s attempt to recommend a plant-based diet

“A leak of a draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange (#IPCC) report..has been particularly enlightening when it comes to just how much how delegations negotiate, watered down & delete scientists’ findings.”

Given the new @ipcc_ch report makes clear, we are out of time, our civilization depends on taking action now.

However, often times, when multiple paths are present, the "green" solution with the most short-term gains are the priority.

I wrote this paper on circular co-product pathways for the whisky 🥃 industry in Scotland. Pathways 8 times better for the planet are not likely to be the priority.

Are you a #WebDeveloper who cares about #ClimateChange? I need your help!

My team at Open Earth Foundation makes Open Source software to fight climate change.

We want to make our #DeveloperExperience better, so it's easier for people to contribute code to our projects.

We need volunteers willing to do a 1-hour Zoom call with us.

You'll be given a small task to do, and you'll share screen with us and think out loud as you try to do it.

If you think you could do this, please DM me!

Worth your time and your consideration..... If there is something to be gained, everyone is expendable. Cynical? Maybe, but probably not very far from the truth.

Don’t judge Shamima Begum today: judge the cruel ministers who still won’t take responsibility for her

The government peddles a caricature so we don’t see her for what she is: a child trafficking victim groomed in the UK, says Maya Foa, director of the legal charity Reprieve

Meet 5% of Scottish non-commercial energy requirements via bio-energy production, or, displace imported feed products with up to 8 times the climate mitigating impact of bio-energy scenarios?

Our latest paper explores circular pathways for Scotch Whisky distillery co-products and why global climate mitigation may not be the top priority.
