Rural FP anesthetist formerly of Fort St John, BC, Canada. Trained in Aus and UK. Now doing rural locums in Canada.

Blessed to live, work and play on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc people.

#Science and #Medicine Twitter was invaluable to me as the guy at the pointy end of "if you have questions ask your doctor".

But also appreciate links to #music, #art, #photography, health equity and many other things #fedi22

Operating carbon capture technology at a scale that would have a meaningful impact on the #ClimateCrisis, which is trending toward catastrophic impacts, would be a trillion-dollar endeavor annually — even in a best case scenario in which projects stay on budget, on schedule and the technology can both effectively work to capture and store emissions for the long term.

Kim Macdonald: #SchoolWarning about #flu ignores elephant in the room | The West Australian https://thewest.com.au/opinion/kim-macdonald-school-warning-about-flu-ignores-elephant-in-the-room-c-15150052 https://thewest.com.au/opinion/kim-macdonald-school-warning-about-flu-ignores-elephant-in-the-room-c-15150052?utm_campaign=share-icons&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&tid=1719470304058 “#Covid.
It is confronting to see how this once-all-consuming danger is being by and large ignored in the public arena.
Yet its impact is still frightening. An average of 212 people were in hospital with Covid every day in the two weeks to mid June, according to State Government figures. (1/3)

Of those, five were in #IntensiveCare, and nine people died with it.
So far this year, 175 people have died from or with Covid in WA, according to the Health Department, which means flu deaths are about two per cent of Covid deaths this year.
But schools don’t send out letters about Covid infections. They don’t warn #immunocompromised people to be wary or tell parents to keep their children home from school.” (2/3)

California Is Showing How a Big State Can Power Itself Without Fossil Fuels | The New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/california-is-showing-how-a-big-state-can-power-itself-without-fossil-fuels “Beginning in early March, for some portion of almost every day, a combination of #solar, #wind, #geothermal, and hydropower has been producing more than a hundred per cent of the state’s demand for electricity. Some afternoons, solar panels alone have produced more power than the state uses. And, at night … batteries .. are often the single largest source of supply to the grid”

Global #solar and #wind generation will soon overtake nuclear and hydro | RenewEconomy https://reneweconomy.com.au/global-solar-and-wind-generation-will-soon-overtake-nuclear-and-hydro/ https://reneweconomy.com.au/global-solar-and-wind-generation-will-soon-overtake-nuclear-and-hydro/amp/ “The #solar growth rate of 22% per year is equivalent to doubling every three years. At this growth rate, solar generation will reach 100,000 TWh per year in 2042 which is enough to fully #decarbonize the global economy.
Solar generation (TWh per year) is tracking to surpass nuclear generation in 2026, wind in 2027, hydro in 2028, gas in 2030 and coal in 2032.”

Solar is now being installed faster than any technology in history | RenewEconomy https://reneweconomy.com.au/solar-is-now-being-installed-faster-than-any-technology-in-history/ “In 2023, #solar PV and #wind comprised about 80% of global generation capacity additions (and 99% in Australia). This is compelling market-based evidence that solar PV and wind are the best options for new #ElectricityGeneration capacity. New solar capacity is being installed faster than anything else in history“ #RenewableEnergy
