Scientists from around the world are becoming increasingly alarmed by mass coral bleaching events caused by record-breaking ocean water temperatures. Water found to be as warm as a hot tub off the coast of Florida last year has moved to the southern hemisphere, infecting the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, as well as coral in coastlines in Brazil, Tanzania and the Red Sea. The BBC has more on the threat to marine life.

A new study of more than 45,000 water samples around the world found that about 31% of groundwater samples tested that weren’t near any obvious source of contamination had levels of PFAS chemicals considered harmful to human health. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/04/09/sustainability/pfas-forever-chemicals-water-worldwide/ #environment #sustainability #pfas #pollution #water #oceans

Well, this seems to be an interesting and unexpected big deal: a new paper suggests that light can evaporate water without actually needing to heat the water up first. And it could sort out a few problems in existing cloud physics:

Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe
==

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies.

Her bosses halted her work.

As the #EPA now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking #water, she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world.

Summer beach abstract lines - handmade acrylic painting

Summer Beach Abstract Lines is a hand-painted acrylic painting in a contemporary square format by artist Karen Kaspar.
Vibrant shades transition from deep purples and blues at the top to warm yellows and oranges at the bottom in a series of horizontal bands. The abstract image is reminiscent of a colourful sunset or sunrise over the sea with a sandy beach in warm colours in the foreground.
This painting is part of my series of four square acrylic paintings with the abstract depiction of the four seasons - spring meadow abstract lines, summer beach abstract lines, fall colours abstract lines and winter snow minimalist abstract lines.

A peaceful sunrise over Halong Bay bathes the water in a warm glow. A traditional boat floats quietly, its reflection rippling in the calm waters. Dark limestone karsts rise in the background, adding depth to the serene morning scene. The soft light of dawn captures the tranquil beauty of this iconic bay.

This photograph captures a tranquil sunrise in Halong Bay, Vietnam. In the foreground, a traditional wooden boat sits quietly on calm waters, facing the viewer. The boat is white, with a rounded front and a couple of tall masts, but its sails are down. Behind it, the sun is low on the horizon, casting a soft, orange-pink light across the sky and water, which creates a reflective path leading towards the boat. In the distance, dark, jagged islands, known as limestone karsts, rise from the bay, their rugged silhouettes contrasting with the smooth water. The overall feeling is peaceful and serene, with a delicate balance of light, shadow, and reflection.

The riverside comes alive with colorful lanterns reflecting on the water, as boats glide along under a softly fading sky. The warm glow of lights from Hoi An’s buildings adds a magical touch to this peaceful evening scene.

This image captures an evening scene along the Hoi An River in Vietnam. In the foreground, traditional wooden boats float on the calm water, each boat decorated with colorful paper lanterns that softly glow. The lanterns cast reflections on the water's surface, creating a shimmering, multicolored effect. Along the riverbank, there are rows of low, old-fashioned buildings with dark roofs, lit warmly from within, and more lanterns hang outside. The scene is busy with people, both on the boats and along the riverbank, enjoying the evening. Above, the sky is transitioning from light blue to soft purple as dusk falls, giving the scene a peaceful, almost dreamlike quality. The river and lanterns together evoke a sense of calm and festivity.

⚒️ Monero is a #secure, #private, and #untraceable_cryptocurrency 🔎.
#Monero_GUI allows you to #run a Monero #node (among other things).
P2Pool combines the best of #solo_mining and traditional pool mining:

It's #decentralized: There's no central server that can be shutdown or pool admin that controls your hashrate
It's #permissionless: It's peer-to-peer so there's no one to decide who can and cannot mine on the pool
It's #trustless: Funds are never in custody, all pool blocks pay out to miners directly and immediately
0% #transaction_fee, 0 payout fee, immediate ~0.0003 XMR #minimum_payout

Morning mist envelops the Snoqualmie Falls cascading down into the river with lush forest in the background. The scene is framed by evergreen branches, adding depth and contrast to the serene landscape.

According to the Snoqualmie People, who have lived since time immemorial in the Snoqualmie Valley in western Washington,"The mist rising from the base of the waterfall are said to serve to connect Heaven and Earth.”

I really can't wait until I can revert to just posting about #climatechange, #water, and #science rather than garbage, racism, sexism, and the threat of a fascist takeover of America.

So, here's a pretty picture of water for now.

Removed this large Fire Salamander from the well.

It either lived there (the well is mostly dry due to a leak) or it got syphoned into it with today's heavy #rain. It was resting on top of the only bit of rock that stood above the water surface.

Any advice on how/where to release this fella? I know they need access to water so I might need to find a stream or pond of sorts in the vicinity.
