Wow Jean-Marc Jancovici made me pmsl. "Globalisation is basically ships, trucks, planes and computers, and all this relies on fossil fuels. The idea that we can keep all that in a world with only renewable energies is a bold assumption"
Well trade relied on sail for a large part of history, which last time I checked was powered by wind 😆 #renewables

These magnificent purple and green lights aren’t auroras.
“#SAID refers to a narrow flow of charged particles in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Researchers already knew that SAID existed, MacDonald said, but they did not know that it might occasionally be visible.
#STEVE is visually different from auroras, which are caused by electrically charged particles that glow when they interact with the atmosphere”

This is potentially huge, both in terms of greatly expanding #renewables power storage and European strategic independence #batteries
OK Doomer: Heat Index in Brazil Hits 137F (58.5C)
It's official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There's already reports of power outages. People can't work. They can't run errands. They can barely sleep. It's not even summer there yet
It's really interesting to me how these magic anti-radiation stickers, look a little like a wireless charging coil... And are even placed like one on a phone... using a real technology to add realism to the fake. They also look like the maze of the Minotaur. (I have a thing for things that blend old and new graphic forms like this... and I'm fascinated by scam products. )
I guess the radiation gets lost in the maze.
