Q - do you know of well-researched articles, or academic papers, that explore the risks to the Internet’s infrastructure due to climate change?

I.e. how do we keep the Internet functioning in the midst of extreme weather and other aspects of climate change? For example, if sea levels rise, what will that do to subsea cable landing stations?

I am building a list of articles and papers, and I have some.. but am looking for more.

Thanks!

@danyork no papers, but CLS location and structure eng for me recently very much involves thinking of climate risk

@danyork nothing fancy. Elevation via topography or building, eg, ground floor has no M&E. Similar to what you see in tsunami risk zones already.

Of course, you can only survive without power for so long....

@pluralistic brings it home today

"PE is committed to an ideology that is far worse than any form of racial animus or other bias. As a sector, it is committed to profit above all other values. As a result, its brutality knows no bounds, no decency, no compassion. Even the worst crimes we commit for hate are nothing compared to the crimes we commit for greed"

Really recommend this year's Reith Lectures

Ben Ansell, Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at Nuffield College, Oxford University. He will deliver four lectures called “Our Democratic Future,” asking how we can build a politics that works for all of us with systems which are robust to the challenges of the twenty first century, from climate change to artificial intelligence.

Loved - well done Packham and McCubbin. Great to see you free to do a bit more real eco lobbying.

Listen to the recordings. Brilliant.

Jolly Roger sells personas: "Whitebeard" is a confused senior who keeps asking the caller's name, drops nonsequiturs into the conversation, and can't remember how many credit-cards he has. "Salty Sally" is a single mom with a houseful of screaming, demanding children who keep distracting her every time the con artist is on the verge of getting her to give up compromising data. "Whiskey Jack" is drunk:

@lightweight @davemosk @downbeatdan interesting discussion (and blog post). This feels to me that something teachers (or even schools) aren't able to address - intend to the view that this would require system level guidance/solutions.

South Up Equal Earth Projection in R

Yup - I'm still banging on about this! This time, in R

The colours are wrong, and the labels need adjustment - but not bad for a few lines of code!
