  • Hi @stefano

    Really appreciate your contribution in creating fedimeteo.

    I hadn’t tracked its rollout to Canada and have only recently started following for our location.

    Since you’ve let us know that you’re open to suggestions, here’s a thought.

    I don’t know if your opendata source has this since it’s not internationally standardized, but it would be super helpful and interesting to have air quality forecasts included.

    Canada has the AQHI (Air Quality Health Index), established by Health Canada, that’s included in our forecasts from WeatherCan. (Other countries have different composite measures and forecasts.)

    Since there have been severe air quality impacts from climate-change related wildfires, Canadians have become more aware of the AQHI and forecasts of poor air quality.

    Where such forecasts exist, it would seem that the fediverse would be interested and would want to have them.

    @AlsoPaisleyCat Hello! This is an interesting idea - air quality information should be provided by Open-Meteo and maybe I can add it to the current weather conditions. I'll have a look at it. Thank you!

    @AlsoPaisleyCat I'm implementing it right now... 🙂

    @catavz true. That's why I hope more and more people will be interested and try the BSDs. They are great to learn, and a great way to make people more aware of what and how they're running.

    Ahead of COP30 climate summit: 'Big Carbon' floods social media with climate-related misinformation> Despite widespread global support for climate action, a new report by Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD) warns that climate-related misinformation remains rampant online, especially in the lead-up to the COP30 climate summit in Brazil.> The report details how researchers analysed a range of online platforms in the months leading up to the summit and found a significant surge in false or manipulated climate-related content.> According to the study, instances of misinformation connected to the COP conference reportedly rose by 267% between July and September. https://today.rtl.lu/news/science-and-environment/a/2353285.html #COP30 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Brazil #BigOil

    @aram @rysiek Gates is all in on AI. They're now running data centers on jet fuel. Of course he's "given up" on reducing emissions

    Australia is still a deeply racist country when it comes to Aboriginal people.This is some of the oldest written communications on Earth.This rock art was already ~40,000 years old when the Giza pyramids were an ongoing capital works project by the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.But because Aboriginal and created it, we treat it as worthless.I can't stress this enough.This should be a source of deep and profound shame for every non-Aboriginal Australian.We, collectively, see irreplaceable 50,000 year old cultural artifacts as having less value than a tank full of petrol.Because we view Aboriginal history as essentially worthless."The oldest petroglyphs in the world are deemed to be those at Murujuga in Western Australia, which are 40,000–50,000 years old. Some petroglyphs are classified as protected monuments and some have been added to the list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, or such status has been applied for."https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroglyph"The Albanese government agreed to weaken conditions it had proposed to protect world heritage-listed Indigenous rock art from Woodside’s giant North West Shelf gas development after the fossil fuel company argued it could be forced to shut the plant."The change is explained in a “statement of reasons” document setting out why the environment minister, Murray Watt, approved an application to extend the operating life of one of the world’s biggest and most polluting gas export developments until 2070."The statement shows Watt accepted environment department advice that “multiple lines of scientific and other evidence” suggested industrial emissions were having a “significant adverse impact” on rocks in Murujuga, a cultural landscape in northern Western Australia that is home to more than 1m pieces of rock art, known as petroglyphs."The minister also accepted advice that future pollution from the North West Shelf liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing facility could cause “degradation, damage, notable alteration, modification, obscuring or diminishing” of the area’s natural heritage."..."Watt provisionally ruled in May that Woodside could continue operating the LNG plant beyond 2030 only if it cut acidic pollution – particularly nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide – so that there were no air emissions “above the detectable limit” that affect rock art."But Woodside responded this was “not technically feasible”. It said the conditions were an “effective refusal” of the development that would lead to the “cessation of business as usual operations” at the end of 2030.#auspol #wapol #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Australia #Perth #WesternAustralia #capitalism #business #ausbiz
