Behold air quality stripes; like climate stripes, but for the stuff that kills you directly. The visualization shows how much clean air legislation, moving away from coal, and generally not setting carbon on fire improve air quality and reduce excess deaths. airqualitystripes.info/stripes/?con...

This is a graph depicting air pollution (PM2.5 concentrations) in London, UK, from 1850 to 2021. It includes a color-coded scale indicating levels of air quality, ranging from "Extremely Poor" to "Very Good." There's also a white line that shows the same information. The air quality level in London has been gradually getting worse since the start of the Industrial Revolution, improving drastically in the 1970s and continuing to the present day.

Just came across this on Mastodon and thought I'd share it for anyone wondering if adding image alt text is "worth it." ChanceyFleet: "As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos... all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience."

Screenshot: a Mastodon post by ChanceyFleet that says:

"As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES."

One of the best works of art depicting the visceral pain and poisonous ways that abuse burrows into a person's body and soul. And the image of angels as an infestation both warm, welcome and hair-raisingly scary made the premise all the more captivating. Thanks a million for sharing this story!

The story is always the same: major tech companies tell us they care about the environment to silence criticism, then never actually follow through. Google’s emissions are up ~50% in 5 years, following similar news Microsoft is also blowing past its climate commitments.

It's astounding to me that this never comes up in interviews with Dave or the band. They've memory-holed this whole episode and the hundreds of thousands of deaths their support for this movement caused. Some sources: medium.com/the-monthly/...
