Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland and what it can tell us about the population in the past and present.
It also really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + how to consider data sovereignty.
Also applicable in #climateScience applications, there's a nice overview here too:

#FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture and literature review

"GHGs warm the Earth surface and troposphere [...] and cool the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere and thus shrink them. This decreases the density of the air at these high altitudes, thus reducing friction and drag that LEO satellites experience."

Climate Change a mere “side effect” and a “trade-off” of fossil fuel awesomeness, says Trump admin.

This takes me back 25 years, when economic models(*) used to calculate the “optimal trade-off” was to cause more climate change than had occurred since the ice age.

Of course there are “trade-offs”, but they involve catastrophic risks!

(*) which won the Nobel Prize in economics

Here’s a thing I worked on last week: a statement of #solidarity with international scientists whose work is under threat from anti-enlightenment forces.

Prompted, of course, by the US withdrawal from the WHO, Paris agreement, and more recently NASA scientists being blocked from attending the IPCC.

If you like it, please pass it on:

Megaphone UKStanding up for scienceScience has always been an international endeavour. We in the UK benefit from rich collaboration and exchange with colleagues and friends among the global scientific community. We benefit from a diverse and inclusive workforce, at home and abroad, as the engine of scientific creativity. This underpins economic growth, industrial success, and societal progress.  We stand in solidarity with scientists around the world whose work is under threat from ideological politics.

This looks like it could be an important paper for climate economics.

In short, existing climate-economics are trained with no assumption of international trade. That means that, in the models, if one country has a drought that causes food shortages it's screwed, because unlike in reality it can't just import extra food for a year or two. This means that the impact of a drought is much less than it would otherwise be, because weather is highly spatially variable.

If you retrain the models taking plausible trade networks into account, then the expected impacts from increasing temperatures is substantially worse, and since global warming is, well, global, international trade will not be as much of a solution in the future. Which means that expected GDP losses due to future warming should be much, much higher than previously modelled.
