Happy to announce that Andrew Weaver & I have a Comment out in NatureClimate today on potentially important role of personal risk-based climate adaptation in managing personal climate anxiety. Article: nature.com/articles/s4155…; free text: rdcu.be/c6fr2

I'm speechless. Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper. The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion. In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds. Source 👇

This is so cool.

Tomorrow, IPCC will release the Synthesis of the 6th Assessment, summarising all six of the previous component Reports. There will be no surprises. Human activities, mainly burning fossil fuels, have already warmed the climate by more than 1°C, causing severe impacts.

I wrote about the rise of private climate risk modelers. Unregulated new products claiming to zero in on exposure are being used by federal agencies and homebuyers. They’re impacting bond ratings & infrastructure. Do they overstate what they can do? prospect.org/environment/20…
