While falling down the Thwaites Glacier hole this morning, there was more climate change news released last week. The numbers are startling, deadening, and make me stumble to find words. We made million year changes in just one hundred. We’ve reshaped the world and don’t even know — or can imagine — how yet.
The atmospheric burden of CO2 is now comparable to where it was during the Mid-Pliocene Warm Period around 3.6 million years ago, when concentrations of carbon dioxide ranged from about 380 to 450 parts per million. During that time sea level was about 78 feet higher than today, the average temperature was 7 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in pre-industrial times, and studies indicate large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.

Every blog and publication is talking about them. Millions of dollars are moving around. They should not be a thing and I should not have to be writing this.

The Great Green Wall is an African-led movement with an epic ambition to grow an 8,000km natural wonder of the world across the entire width of Africa. Now this is the bold, humanity-as-a-collective action I needed to see this morning. The world needs more people spending time on projects like this and less on NFTs Read More > >

I can remember seeing this blobmaker and wave generator making the rounds on design boards months ago. (Or was it longer than that thanks to being on pandemic time?) They’ve been super charged together — along with a dozen more options for creating backgrounds — in a new web app. There’s some good options like a low-poly grid and quite a few wave scenes. Go roll the dice and create something fun for a few minutes.
