“Autocracies worldwide are not just learning from one another but actively collaborating to tighten their grip on the #digital sphere. #Meta's double standard -- resisting regulation in #democracies while bowing to #authoritarian demands to protect its #market dominance -- risks becoming the blueprint for a darker, more repressive digital #future.”

We all can only hope, that this is a wake-calling for all serious #Institutions #worldwide, to leave #X/ #Twitter once and for all. There ARE #Alternatives.

map - Regions where observed heat waves exceed trends from climate models. Boxed areas with the darkest red colors are the most extreme; lesser reds and oranges exceed models, but not by as much. Yellows roughly match models, while greens and blues are below what models would project.

photo - A child looks at a wildfire in Chasia on the outskirts of Athens, Greece, on 22 August 2023.

maps and charts - Global underestimation of trends in extreme temperature tail width in climate models compared to reanalysis data. (A) Area weighted probability density histogram of trends over land in the difference between the yearly 99th percentile and 87.5th percentile Tx in ERA5 (red), high-resolution climate models (black, dashed) and low-resolution climate models (black, dotted). Number of models included and the skewness of the distribution are noted in the legend. Histograms are shown according to a log scale (saturated colors) and a linear scale (translucent colors). Medians of the distributions are shown as vertical lines. (B) Cumulative probability distributions of negative trends (left of zero) and positive trends (right of zero) separately, and their ratios between models and ERA5. Models underestimate positive trends exceeding 0.5 °C/decade by a factor of four. (C) Differences and (D) ratios between cumulative distributions of positive and negative trends in reanalysis and models, by latitude. The largest discrepancies are identified in Northern Hemisphere high latitudes and the mid-latitudes of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

charts and maps - Daily maximum temperature anomalies during recent record-breaking heatwaves and their temporal context. (A) 2-m daily maximum temperature (Tx) anomaly fields averaged over the 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave in North America. Regions where values were record-breaking (since 1950) during the indicated time period are hatched. (B) Time series for the years 1950 to 2023 of the hottest annual average Tx anomaly over the region indicated by the box in A (relative to 1981 to 2010 June–August). The record-breaking values of regional-mean Tx and their dates are highlighted (red dot) in each time series. (C and D) same as A and B but for the western European heatwave in July 2022, (E and F) for the heatwave in the Amazon Basin in November 2023 (warm season September–November) and (G and H) the heatwave in Southern Africa (warm season December–February) in January 2016.

I try to influence these horrors, by petitions, mails etc.
I have no words, I am on your side.
