With the warmest January( in decades for the Northern Hemisphere) the cherry 🌸 blossoms have arrived early. Please reply with how climate change is negatively affecting the natural weather patterns in your region.

@jachian Thank you for your insightful analysis and summary of the current status of reasoning models becoming able to learn from past activities to make better new results. How does this affect the GPU processing and energy required for the reasoning models to plan and conduct their research? Are researchers and models able to make more efficient use of GPU energy consumption?

Hazard Reduction Burns are a staple tool of fire management in Australia, usually over winter when burns can be kept cool, slow and controllable. It's an immense and complicated task since essentially all indigenous vegetation in the most populated region of Australia (South East) is pyrophytic. However we're running into an unfortunate problem where the number of days suitable to conduct hazard reduction burns is decreasing because of more frequent days winter days with higher temperatures and/or higher windspeeds as a consequence of Climate Change. Which puts environmental planners in a difficult spot because if you do a planned burn and it gets out of control, that's obviously not good. But if you don't do enough hazard reduction that's also not good and compounds year on year leading to catastrophic events occurring anyway. I expect this will be a worsening problem for all fire prone regions going forward.

CAs shifting regs THE REPUBLICAN CLIMATE PITCH: Assembly Republicans are taking aim at some of California’s environmental mainstays, from the California Environmental Quality Act to the Coastal Commission — and they’re calling it climate action. They unveiled a package of legislation today waiving environmental rules to fast-track the clearing of flammable vegetation around vulnerable communities and facilitate controlled burns. Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher said climate change is exacerbating California’s wildfires by making forests drier but that California’s policies to reduce emissions aren’t enough to fix the problem.

I challenge you to not smile as you imagine all the major airlines sending their planes to meet up together in the sky to fly to their destination together in a flying V formation. Cutest climate solution since sea otters in kelp forests. https://trellis.net/article/delta-air-lines-fuel-saving-geese-flight-formation/

"Because Biden has already issued a major disaster declaration for the Los Angeles fires, unlocking critical aid for the response and recovery, Trump could try to punish California by reversing the order. That would be an unprecedented move that would almost certainly be challenged in court, said Daniel Farber, a law professor at UC Berkeley. Federal law gives sitting presidents the power to issue a disaster declaration but does not spell out if they can retract one, Farber said. “I don’t think that ever occurred to Congress that that would be an issue.” He noted that the statute’s purpose was to dispense disaster aid “orderly and efficiently” — so a president reversing a previous administration’s declaration “would really undermine the whole premise.”" https://calmatters.org/environment/wildfires/2025/01/trump-los-angeles-fire-aid-newsom/

Intense wet season -> high growth of vegetation -> dries out from increasingly hot summers -> record dry start to next wet season -> high winds -> wildfire catastrophe It makes logical sense but it's nice to have actual scientists confirm this is what's happening to California in the 21st century https://x.com/Weather_West/status/1877476214723498473?t=W7yOMDJZzA9k3zbKmaa-4Q&s=19 https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-024-00624-z
