"The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision."
I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars. Now I'm an adult in a spaceship looking down to our beautiful Earth. To the next generation of dreamers: if we can do this, just imagine what you can do virg.in/4wYm #Unity22 @virgingalactic

The WHO just updated its page on how COVID-19 transmits. Those few sentences on aerosols represent one of the most crucial scientific advances of the pandemic. My NYT piece on the century-long history of the error, the year of delay—and what it means now. nytimes.com/2021/05/07/opini…

10 years ago science showed there are 15 known Earth tipping elements that regulate the state of the Planet. Today we present findings that 9 of these 15 systems are on the move. There is now scientific support for declaring a state of Planetary Emergency nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

This is important.
Professor Will Steffen: "Unfortunately this is the way 99.9% of the time scientists present projections for the future. You got to do it another way… There aren’t many scientists who think we will actually meet the 1.5°C target."

In 2017, assuming an energy system running on 100% renewables (solar, wind and hydro) was considered frivolous by most 'experts'.
In 2017 @mzjacobson was strongly condemned after he quantified a possible 100% RE route for the USA.
But in 2018 the dam broke!
(thread)
Indeed. We have found 180 articles on #100RE by end of 2018 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. Half a year later we have about 280 articles on our list. It's a major trend towards #100RE and well understood in academia. Myth are debunked by @nworbmot sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

This @exxonmobile chart from 1982 predicted that in 2019 our atmospheric CO2 level would reach about 415 parts per million, raising the global temperature roughly 0.9 degrees C.
Update: The world crossed the 415 ppm threshold this week and broke 0.9 degrees C in 2017 1/

Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun
