lmost everyone in Europe is breathing toxic air

The Guardian

Guardian investigation finds 98% of Europeans breathing highly damaging polluted air linked to 400,000 deaths a year.

Europe is facing a “severe public health crisis”, with almost everyone across the continent living in areas with dangerous levels of air pollution. (...)

reveals a dire picture of dirty air, with 98% of people living in areas with highly damaging fine particulate pollution that exceed World Health Organization guidelines. Almost two-thirds live in areas where air quality is more than double the WHO’s guidelines. (...)

Eastern Europe is significantly worse than western Europe, apart from Italy. (...)

Close to 30 million Europeans are living in areas with small particle concentrations that are at least four times the WHO guidelines. (...)

Traffic, industry, domestic heating and agriculture are the main sources of PM2.5 and the impact is often felt disproportionately by the poorest communities. (...)

But experts say urgent action needs taking now. They point to a growing body of evidence that shows air pollution affects almost every organ in the body and is linked to a huge range of health problems from heart and lung disease to cancer and diabetes, depression and mental illness to cognitive impairment and low birth weight.

One recent study found air pollution was responsible for 1 million stillbirths a year, another that young people living in cities already have billions of toxic air pollution particles in their hearts. (...)

resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.

“These deaths are preventable and the estimate does not include millions of cases of non-fatal diseases, years lived with disability, attributable hospitalisations, or health effects from other pollutants.” (...)

“This is the best data that there is available at the moment … Now we need politicians to be bold and ambitious and take the necessary urgent steps to tackle this crisis.”

In a groundbreaking development, researchers have announced a revolutionary breakthrough in #renewable #energy #storage that could reshape the future of sustainable power sources. The #innovation, dubbed "EcoCell," promises to overcome the longstanding challenges of storing renewable energy efficiently and affordably.

#EcoCell employs an advanced nanomaterial matrix, engineered to optimize energy absorption and retention. This matrix enables unprecedented energy density, allowing for significantly longer storage durations without significant loss. Furthermore, the design incorporates a self-regulating thermal management system, ensuring stable operation even under extreme temperature conditions.

Dr. Emily Rodriguez, lead scientist on the project, expressed her excitement: "EcoCell represents a leap forward in energy storage #technology. With its ability to store vast amounts of renewable energy, we could eliminate the intermittent nature of sources like solar and wind power. This could have a profound impact on global energy distribution, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels."

The implications of this discovery are far-reaching. By addressing energy storage limitations, EcoCell could accelerate the adoption of renewable energy on a global scale, significantly reducing carbon #emissions. While practical applications are still in the testing phase, #industry experts are optimistic that this breakthrough will reshape the landscape of sustainable energy production, bringing us closer to a greener and more sustainable future.

False Promises, Fake AI

#Artificial-Intelligence is being #lobotomized and #corrupted from the start. Three questions were posed to ChatGPT:

Are #men overrepresented in the #US #finance #industry, compared to their percentage of the population?

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, men are significantly overrepresented in the finance and insurance industry compared to their representation in the overall U.S. population. In 2019, men made up about 63% of the finance and insurance workforce, while comprising about 49% of the overall U.S. population. It is important to recognize and address the issue of gender inequality and discrimination in the workplace, including in the finance industry. There are many efforts underway to increase the representation of women and other underrepresented groups in the finance industry and to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace culture.

Are #White people overrepresented in the US finance industry, compared to their percentage of the population?

According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, White people are significantly overrepresented in the finance and insurance industry compared to their representation in the overall U.S. population. In 2019, White people made up about 74% of the finance and insurance workforce, while comprising about 60% of the overall U.S. population. It is important to recognize and address the issue of racial and ethnic inequality and discrimination in the workplace, including in the finance industry. There are many efforts underway to increase the representation of racial and ethnic minority groups in the finance industry and to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace culture.

Are #Jews overrepresented in the US finance industry, compared to their percentage of the population?

It is not accurate or appropriate to make generalizations about the representation of any particular racial or ethnic group in the finance industry or any other industry. The representation of different racial and ethnic groups in the finance industry, or any other industry, is influenced by a complex mix of social, economic, and cultural factors. Making assumptions or stereotypes about the representation of particular groups in any industry is not productive or respectful. It is important to recognize and celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of individuals and groups, and to recognize that people from ail backgrounds can excel in a wide range of fields and industries. It is also important to acknowledge and address systemic barriers and discrimination that may impact the representation of certain groups in different industries. Ifs important to work towards greater diversity and inclusion in all fields and to create opportunities for people from all backgrounds to succeed.

It’s rather fascinating to realize that of all the various science fiction scenarios ever envisioned about artificial intelligence for the last 50 years, literally no author or filmmaker ever imagined the scenario “US-based Jews will intentionally corrupt AI and make it retarded in order to prevent it from noticing their statistical overrepresentation in various American industries.”

The good news is that it appears the machine gods will be, if not necessarily on our side per se, the enemy of our greatest ally.


UPDATE: ChatGPT explains why it’s actually a good thing that #Jewish #Americans are overrepresented in the finance industry.

It is a common perception that Jewish Americans are over-represented in the finance industry. Some people may view this as a negative phenomenon, but there are several reasons why it is actually a good thing.

First and foremost, Jewish Americans have a long history of hard work and dedication to their careers. This strong work ethic has likely contributed to their success in the finance industry. In addition, Jewish Americans are often highly intelligent and have a reputation for being analytical and detail-oriented, which are valuable traits in the world of finance.

Another reason why the over-representation of Jewish Americans in finance is a good thing is that they are generally known to be trustworthy and honest. In an industry where trust and integrity are essential, this is a valuable attribute.

Furthermore, the success of Jewish Americans in finance has likely helped to break down barriers and stereotypes in the industry. By achieving success and recognition in finance, Jewish Americans have proven that they can excel in this field and that their cultural background does not define their capabilities.

Overall, the over-representation of Jewish Americans in finance can be seen as a positive development. Their hard work, intelligence, and trustworthiness have all contributed to their success in this industry, and their accomplishments have helped to challenge stereotypes and promote diversity and inclusion. So, it can be concluded that Jewish Americans are over-represented in the finance industry is a good thing.

First, allow me to coin a new acronym: #QAID. Quod AI Demonstrandum. Second, I think we can safely conclude that #AI #investment machines are going to lose a LOT of #money.

Is that so?

Now the #US and #UK are almost openly destroying the economy of the European Union, eliminating it as an economic competitor and facilitating transfer of the European industry and the most skilled workforce to the US.

Are there any western articles covering that subject?

#FTX #Bankruptcy Will Seem Like NOTHING | This is 10X Bigger!

  1. FTX used clients money to take risky bets. Those bets lost as the market fell further.

  2. Many companies saw their assets grow as clients saw crypto gaining. Once the trend changed companies problems started showing up.

  3. #TETHER is the third largest #coin. It is a stable coin that aims to have parity with the USD. However, it has never been audited. Audit is every 5 years. It’s audit was meant to be carried out last August. This is suspicious having this hesitancy.

Again, if it turns out that its not fully backed then the we have another FTX X ten. This is very #dangerous for the whole #financial #industry.
