Amazing: Google partnered with American Airlines, used AI to tweak flight paths to reduce contrails. The results are in, and if scaled up this could immediately reduce aviation's global warming impact by almost 20% Technology just keeps beating degrowth! blog.google/technology/ai/…

The smell of the air after a storm is caused by Geosmin: a chemical released by dead soil bacteria. Humans are sensitive to it, capable of detecting concentrations ~5 parts per trillion. It's theorised in our evolutionary past this helped us seek out water.

Team Turbulence! We had a stimulating meeting at ECMWF today, and some exciting innovations are in the pipeline...
