Before the 1990s, kids experienced more risk, more thrills, more physical injuries, and fewer psychological injuries than they do today. Kids had more freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. We have forgotten that kids are antifragile.

The Iberian Peninsula has lost 21% of its 2000 tree cover between 2001 and 2023. It also regained 4% of its 2000 cover between 2001 and 2012. In Portugal in particular things look bleak. Great work by @milos_agathon.

Interesting and startling figure👇 Globally, the TOTAL area of land burned has trended down over the last two decades, and the TOTAL area of FOREST burned has been relatively flat. Sad to see the TOTAL area of tree cover lost to fires INCREASING so significantly.

Will solar PV soon be the cheapest source of electricity in most places around the world? This @NatureComms paper says yes. Most surprisingly this is AFTER including short- and long-term storage costs for renewable energy sources. https://t.co/RdZPFB9kmI
