🦈🌡️ Scientists have found that "warm-bodied" #fish like great white #sharks burn #energy at nearly four times the rate of cold-blooded species.
Rising #ocean temperatures are increasing their metabolic demands, forcing them to find more food while they simultaneously struggle to regulate their internal heat. This environmental shift is expected to push these #predators into new, cooler habitats to avoid physiological stress.

Mushroom slime removes up to 98.4% of microplastics from water, researchers report
Microplastics and nanoplastics are tiny plastic particles that result from the breakdown of larger plastic products due to sunlight, waves, and other environmental conditions.Shinshu University (Phys.org)

I'm not saying everybody needs to become a vegan/vegetarian right now, that is up to each individual, but we should avoid the worst of the worst.
That is, if we want to at least keep a few of the giants of the seas alive.

🌊 We must stop eating wild ocean animals, including open‑pen "farmed" saltwater fish such as salmon.

If you’re not urgently dependent on seafood for survival, simply switch to other options such as land / closed‑system aquaculture or plant based solutions.

Africa’s forests have flipped from carbon sink to #carbon source
source: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026…
New #research has delivered a stark warning about a major change in Africa's forests. Once a crucial part of the fight against #climate change, these #forests are now releasing more carbon than they absorb.
Many tipping points have likely already been crossed. This means that a truly dire and threatening future lies ahead for the next generation. We’ve known this since the 1970s, but #capitalism could not be stopped.

#introduction Hi Fedi! 
I'm a student in #CompSci and #Philosophy (philocomp.net) at the University of #Oxford. Busy University life will make me unresponsive sometimes.
I'm a #FreeSoftware #OpenSource promoter (co-running ox.ogeer.org/) and developer (ogeer.org/#code-forges). I would love to increase confidence and become a long-term contributor to communities' projects.
I'm a beginner but interested in #governance - social.coop is an example.
I also enjoy #etymology and language-learning (message me in ES or ZH_Hans), considering and protecting our natural #environment, and music.
I love creative, diverse methods of human expression and existence. I shun prejudice, and try to widen my perspectives. I am learning robust analytical arguments via Philosophy. Respectful, critical argument with me is welcome, but if it requires triggering topics, or could tire some, please put it behind a content warning. I will try to do the same.
PhiloComp.net
The aim of this website is to highlight the many strong links between Philosophy and Computing, for the benefit of students of both disciplines.www.philocomp.net
Good to see some push-back on the completely unhinged plan to deploy 'sunlight on demand' reflective satellites (which would allow for companies to flood 5-6 square km of land at night with sunlight), and also Musk's plan to launch 1M AI workload satellites.
Four international scientific societies spanning 2500 members warn these projects could further disrupt human & animal sleep patterns, & cause havoc to oceanic & terrestrial ecosystems.
