There was too little rain this year which made the fires much worse.
I fail to understand why they stick with fossil fuels even though renewable deployments are cheaper than ever. Although there's misinformation and politics, they should look at long term profits..
It's alright. Yeah sites have caught up with tools like 12ft these days.
Still doesn't work lol.
"It has also become more erratic and unpredictable," she told the newspaper, "and we are facing growing problems of either too much or too little water."
Climate change disturbs the rainfall distribution patterns, leading to extreme rain in some areas and less in others. It's a very complex system and there are a lot of variables evolved. One example is changing wind patterns that creates high pressure regions that we see during heatwaves.
The study also addressed the wider implications of these findings. CK1δ plays a role in several important processes beyond circadian rhythms, including cell division, cancer development, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. By better understanding how CK1δ's activity is regulated, scientists could open new avenues for treating not just circadian rhythm disorders but also a range of conditions.
There's a similar project that would supply power from Australia-Asia that spans 4,600 km when completed. But such big projects could easily be caught up in various delays, and it's a problem if a country is too dependent on a single power link. Self-reliant renewable energy production definitely seems more secure.
It'd be great if AI is powered entirely by renewables, but how trustworthy is that target?
Companies and politicians are known to drag their feet switching to renewables or use greenwashing to show they care more about climate than they actually do.
Quoting from another article:
The researchers said, unfortunately, it would be too dim to see with the naked eye. According to the NASA JPL, 2024 PT5 has an absolute magnitude of 27.6, which is very dim and won’t be visible through most amateur telescopes.
Also the oceans:
