There're about 64,000 square miles of coral reefs on Earth that could still be resisting climate change by 2050, an area the size of Wiscons
New research used an AI (note that this is a good use of AI to analyze data for research, not a LLM) to analyze over 45,000 recorded observations of coral reefs with the goal of finding locations where reefs were more likely to survive higher ocean temperatures into the future. Based on over 40 criteria, the AI model predicted at least 64,000 square miles of reef would be able to survive rising ocean temperatures into 2050 and beyond. That's about the size of Wisconsin.
Corals in these "coral refuges" had some combination of a faster rate of recovery, more heat-resistant species, and better protection from heat-related damage.
The study authors hope that their research can help guide more efficient allocation of limited coral conservation resources.
Although coral reefs face immense threat from climate change, our knowledge of coral conservation has increased by leaps and bounds in the last 20 years. Only two decades ago we couldn't breed corals in human care, now we have mobile coral labs that can breed thousands of coral in just a week. We can restore reefs faster and more successfully, and there are scientists working on breeding more heat-resistant coral lineages.
While a model is not a guarantee, this is another ray of hope that some coral reefs will naturally survive climate change despite the steep odds.
Men can be whoever they want, whatever they want, but when a woman dares to be something else than just a woman, they are the bitch, the madwoman, the hysterical, or the witches. They will always be judged no matter what women chose to be.
ppl complain abt everyone being so boring/inauthentic/detached these days but the second u have interests they deem unusual theyll be like "waitttt thats giving neurodivergent..." like damn its so awesome that were pathologising giving a fuck about anything they dont sell at a tj maxx
Men will do anything to get your attention, not because out of genuine interest about you, but because they need to feed their egos and once they get what they wanted, you become disposable. They see women's attention, consent and affection as a challenge, not as something worth appreciating.
