Today's plenary speaker at Earth Educators' Rendezvous (@bakingsodavolc.bsky.social) crushed it and gave a talk that really rocked. The topic was on increasing accessibility in Geology and Earth sciences. It also put a really bright light on how inaccessible geology is. Very excellent talk!

This morning in 1945—at 5:29:45 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

The global population is expected to peak, then decline, by the end of the century, largely due to a sustained, long-term decline in fertility rates worldwide. Fertility rates measure the average number of children per woman. Globally, they have more than halved since 1950.

The UN now projects that the global population will peak in the early 2080s at around 10.3 billion people. This is a couple of years earlier than it projected in its 2022 edition.
