Global stability is ‘fracturing.’ For Canada, the stakes are high, Joly warns

The current era of global stability, built from the ruins of the Second World War, is “fracturing,” Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly warned Monday.

And for Canada, the stakes are high.

Top: screenshot of Python code, showing a one-line function decorated with @from_sympy which consists of very few mathematical operations and is effectively a SymPy expression.

Below on the sphinx page, a list of pretty LaTeX-formatted equations is visible and the auto-generated documentation for the decorated function, including an auto-generated listing of physical units and value bounds that are checked on calling.

Furthermore, the LaTeX formula is displayed for the function, alongside the auto-generated Python code.

At the bottom, an automatically derived equation for maximum error estimation/sensitivity analysis is shown.

Ein Papagei mit Brille schaut kopfüber herab auf einen vor dem Haus stehenden jungen Mann. Er ist im Stil des Biedermeier gekleidet und frisiert. Dabei trägt er einen Blumenstrauß und seinen Zylinder in den Händen. Er schaut zum Obergeschoss hinauf, wo seine Braut zu vermuten ist. Rechts geht es in eine dunkle Gasse.

He carries a bouquet of flowers and his top hat in his hands. He carries a bouquet of flowers and his top hat in his hands. He looks up to the upper floor, where his bride is suspected.

Yesterday's #flight was bumpy. Lumpy. Chunky. Objectively, it wasn't even moderate #turbulence. They just went on serving the coffee 🤷 In my head, though, it was awful. Still, it was probably good it happened, because I'm so used to smooth flights, my impression of turbulence is the equivalent of driving over cobblestones. I needed a corrective.

Climate change is making turbulence on flights worse, which in turn means you’re much more likely to suffer fools clapping and whooping when the plane lands successfully. Think on.

Comedian Dan Mintz (voice of the older daughter Tina on Bob's Burgers) shares this wise philosophy:
"I'm not usually religious. But one time I was on a plane that was going through some really frightening and violent turbulence. So, I immediately began taking rights from gay people."

Flying could get bumpier in the future. A new study suggests that climate change could increase the frequency and intensity of clear-air turbulence, an invisible and unpredictable air movement that can cause injuries and damage to planes. The study predicts that clear-air turbulence could increase by 60% by 2050 due to changes in atmospheric jet streams. This could affect the safety, comfort, and cost of air travel.

#Turbulence is a natural stage of fluid dynamics, in which a fluid displays (apparently) random fluctuations of velocity, as well as of other quantities, across a large range of scales.

But does "turbulent" really means “random”?

This is what this #AstroPhysicsFactlet is about!

Bumpy air, even violently bumpy air, is not all pilots are dealing with in a climate-changed sky.

It’s a “perfect storm kind of scenario,” says Shem Malmquist, a Boeing 777 captain, flight instructor, & veteran accident/ safety investigator.

With climate change, we are looking at "more storms, more lightning, & more turbulence."

How will this affect future air travel and what can you do to stay safe?

Here's another reason to take the #train, and to push for a #HighSpeedRail network:

"Although #turbulence often only causes a bumpy flight, its severity can vary greatly, harming the aircraft and injuring both passengers and crew in addition to inducing extreme anxiety and fear."

The article says that the #aviation industry is a "victim" of #climatechange.
It is not.
It is a culprit.
