That’s it. I’m leaving Twitter/X. See you on Bluesky instead.

Climate Change: It's real. It's us. It's serious - and already dangerous. But there are solutions. The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

I Volvos nya reklam för EX90 kan vi se en kvinna rejsa genom staden – fullkomligt likgiltig för omgivningen. Och det kan du också vara med din nya EX90! Hon forsar fram på de tomma gatorna i sin 2,7-tons-SUV, ständigt sneglande på sin surrande mobiltelefon. Tråd 🧵:

I want to begin with a brief appeal to all of you. It seems that accounts supporting Ukraine are currently experiencing reduced visibility again. What this is due to is as yet a mystery, but you can all help us by liking and sharing all posts. Thanks in advance.

Holy shit! Barack Obama just reminded everyone why is is considered the preeminent orator of our generation. Obama is delivering a tour de force in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is annihilating Trump like I've never seen before. 🙌🙏👏👊🌊

Wait for it... Storm Boris unleashed historic amounts of rain in Lower Austria, causing major flooding. St. Pölten received over 400 mm of rain in just 5 days, making this september the wettest month ever recorded at this location. Just unreal.

@CodysLab This looks good, if you consider the center of mass of each triangle. The center of the outermost (up) triangles form the border of your diagram, with ten distinct spaces along each edge. The down triangles have their center at the average of the surrounding up triangles.

Tänkvärt inlägg. Börja klimatarbetet där det är lätt, lustfyllt och lönsamt. Med det tänker jag också att de som blir besvikna på det svaret kan få en extra uppgift i att hitta och skapa mer klimatarbete som även motsträviga kan identifiera som lätta, lustfyllda och lönsamma.

Var ska vi egentligen börja vårt klimatarbete – i företaget, kommunen, regionen, organisationen eller helt enkelt det egna hemmet. Svaret brukar först göra folk besvikna... myspeaker.se/nyheter/var-sk…

@UliMolter @KristerIsaksson Jag har inte köpt någon tvättmaskin, men så här gjorde jag med toaletten.

And they last about 10x longer too (so cost per cycle has gone down 10x faster still).

Not sure there's a single chart that better summarizes the relentless improvement of batteries. Costs down over 90%, energy density up ~5X. In just over 20 years. Innovation is incredible. Chart from @RockyMtnInst rmi.org/the-rise-of-ba…

@PEverhill @rickardnordin @energigunnar Om en havsvindpark kopplas mot mer än ett elprisområde så går det säkert att argumentera för att det bygger bort flaskhalsar. Exempelvis kan kanske Kriegers flak kopplas ihop med både SE4 och norra Tyskland (eller tyska delen av samma flak).

VIDEO WARNING This video posted on YouTube by Everyday Treasure (youtube.com/@EverydayTreas…) has over 500,000 views. Yet, the content of this film requires our intervention. Why? First of all, the video made by Everyday Treasure was made without obtaining the required permission to film at the Auschwitz Memorial, and it sadly documented the author’s numerous violations of the regulations of visiting the historical site. Furthermore, the video is filled with factual inaccuracies. Many of the errors are small, but they show on one hand the lack of knowledge and on the other hand the lack of attention to factual details that is so important when talking about the complicated history of Auschwitz. Something very concerning was the encouragement to pick up pieces of bricks from the ground. This was in fact encouraging people to break the law. The entire historical area is a preserved space and picking up anything - including pieces of bricks - is simply illegal and people may face serious consequences. One of the most concerning issues is the blatant disregard for visitor rules, including separating from the guided tour, walking behind protective lines around the ruins of gas chamber III, and entering prohibited and unsafe areas such as the sewage treatment plant and drainage ditches. These actions not only endanger the site’s preservation but also show a deep lack of respect for the Memorial and its significance. For example, walking within the areas where corpses were burned, despite clear signs indicating the solemn nature of the location, is disrespectful. Additionally, the video spreads many historical inaccuracies. The author incorrectly claims that the voltage in the barbed wire at Auschwitz I was 720 volts when it was 400 volts, and at Birkenau, it was 760 volts. Similarly, he falsely states that SS guards on the watchtowers were snipers and implies that the towers were manned constantly, which was not the case. 

 The claim that the Execution Wall is famous from the movie "Schindler's List" is incorrect as it was not depicted there. Additionally, the suggestion that 15 people were hanged simultaneously on the posts in the courtyard of Block 11 is false. The author mentions only a few people escaped from the camp, while there were over 900 documented escape attempts. The suggestion that prostheses displayed in Block 5 belonged to women because the women's camp was located nearby is misleading. Female prisoners were held in Blocks 1-10 of Auschwitz I from March to August 1942, but this has no connection to the ownership of the prostheses on display. The claim that "one can of Zyklon B could kill thousands" is also inaccurate, as several kilograms of Zyklon were needed to murder people in a gas chamber. Other false statements include the number of people hanged at the roll-call square (the author claims 30, when in fact it was 12), the destruction of wooden barracks before liberation (many were not destroyed), and the suggestion that he "snuck" into areas off-limits to visitors, which is untrue as these areas are accessible to the public. Moreover, the author mistakenly says that there is nothing in the basement of Block 11, ignoring the fact that visitors can see prison cells and that this was where the first experiment with Zyklon B occurred. The inaccuracies extend to smaller details as well, such as the incorrect number of suitcases in Block 5, and false information regarding the function of the Kanada sector. Overall, the video presents a highly inaccurate and disrespectful portrayal of the Auschwitz Memorial. We strongly urge the removal of this content to preserve the dignity of the memory of victims and the historical site and to prevent the spread of misinformation about this crucial part of history.

My bet: 2024 585 GW 2025 790 GW 2026 1070 GW I'm simply extrapolating average growth (now 35% over 2009-2023) because on average that has out-predicted every other prediction more than one year out.

I am on team "no, we will probably not see 1TW of annual installations by 2025, because it's very hard to see where they would all go". Our forecast is 585GW for 2024 and 641GW in 2025. Anyway there will certainly be bankrupt PV manufacturers. There often are.

@PEverhill Läsvärt. Sen är nästa fråga om vi vill plocka bort några av dessa orsaker till negativa elpriser. I de flesta fallen minskar det totala produktionen. Om de behålls ökar istället incitamentet för att använda/lagra vid tillfällen med hög produktion.

I am NOT part of those 10.8%. I completed the test AFTER that tweet.

Thanks for the responses so far! As it stands, 10.8% of you completed the survey whilst on the toilet. 🧻🚽🪠

I've created the survey! If enough people complete it I'll be able to create a vast array of terrible maps from the data. It should take less than 10 mins to complete so if you have 5-10 mins to spare i'd really appreciate your answers. Please share/like/comment to increase reach! (Link is in subsequent post because putting a link in a post seems to massively limit reach) Thanks!

Given that my follower count is now similar to the population of a small country, I'm thinking of doing a survey to collect some interesting/stupid data and make some maps. If you have any suggestions for questions/maps then now is the time to speak up! Thanks 🙃
