Deep narrow Lakefork Canyon bisects the Silver Run and Hellroaring Plateaus 3200-3840m. Not far behind town 👍. Been two weeks since last survey, Lake Fork of Rock Crk. is down a bit, cooler, less snowmelt, and was snow-free mostly to 2580m Broadwater, and 1km past. Then too much continuous at 2600m. 10-14C lite up-canyon breeze. No moose, or bear sign, unusual. Sundance's 3364m pass is 17K up, we just got 9K in from the 2200m start. #hiking #climate #dogs #mountains #montana #spring #wildlife

Journalistic click-baiting aside... this is everything about the myth of human progress... hubristic enterprise, myopic planning, pathological reactions, and... countermeasures(!)

Clean energy pushes China's CO2 emissions into historic reversal.

For the first time ever, China's carbon emissions are falling even as power demand grows, marking a major potential turning point in climate action.

Wind, solar and nuclear are now reducing the use of coal even as electricity needs soar, with emissions declining 1.6% in the first quarter of 2025 and by 1% over the last 12 months.

This is a crucial structural shift, differing from previous declines, which were caused by economic downturns or COVID lockdowns.

It's probably a little early for serious celebration - a looming drought could threaten hydropower, and of course nobody knows what's going to happen with tariffs.

Long term, a continued downward trend will depend heavily on China's upcoming five-year plan targets and sustained renewable expansion.

Make no mistake though, this is very, very good news. #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #environment #pollution #renewables #China

Carbon Brief · Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time - Carbon BriefFor the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.

Scott Logic Lead Developer Darren Smith shares a report of carbon emission measuring software tools in 2025, their scope, and reviews these in the context of principal cloud service providers' offerings, including Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon AWS.
