I like how #IPCC presents results of multi-disciplinary scientific research in terms of probabilities.

Every statement and forecast is annotated by likelihood (certain/likely etc) and confidence about its conclusion.

I think that's very much the direction where all other science-based policy should be heading. I think IPCC has created a precedent and a model for future global research on other global topics (e.g. disease controls).

A group calling themselves “Belarusian Cyber-partisans” made a massive data breach in #Belarus 🇧🇾 Ministry of Internal Affairs.

They claim they acquired tons of information about police operations against opposition, audio recordings of calls, details of "web brigades" etc.

These will be very likely now published by opposition media like NEXTA.

The shipping industry is currently source of massive amounts of CO2 and pollution (as it runs on heavy diesel) emissions.

#nuclear propelled container ships such as this Sevmorput 🇷🇺 are the low-carbon and low-emission answer to this challenge.

Greenpeace has been talking about sails and batteries, but even their own ships run on diesel as EV ships are simply infeasible from technical point of view.

CyBOK has just published release v1.1 - this is an extremely useful set of frequently updated cyber security guidelines managed by a number of universities across UK covering topics from risk & governance to low-level tech like #cryptography and web application #security

According to a new IEA study, mining doesn't undermine EV potential for reducing CO2 emissions. EVs require a lot of mined materials but lifecycle emissions are just 50% of gasoline cars, and can go down to 25% if manufacturing is powered by low carbon energy.

#Snowden, living in GRU safe house in Russia, who just deployed countrywide deep-packet inspection censorship and surveillance, quoted in Russia Today, a propaganda outlet, is certainly the authority to speak on "insulting privacy" 🤦‍♂️

Marburg virus cases confirmed in Guinea by two laboratories and National Sanitary Safety Agency. ☣️

Marburg is a hemorrhagic fever virus classified as "extremely dangerous" by WHO. Last large outbreak was 2005 in Angola with 90% case fatality rate across 252 cases. Later single cases were detected in Uganda.
