/STORIES WORLD’S TOP CLIMATE SCIENTISTS ISSUE ‘SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR HUMANITY,’ CALL FOR MAJOR COURSE CORRECTION The United Nations' climate change report has warned that urgent interventions are needed to prevent climate change's worst effects, stating that current plans are insufficient. The report — per CNBC — urged all countries to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and invest in clean and sustainable energy. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights the urgency of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by quickly and sustainably reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors. SCIENTISTS OPEN DOOR TO MANIPULATING 'QUANTUM LIGHT' Scientists at the University of Sydney and the University of Basel have identified and manipulated small numbers of interacting photons — a substantial breakthrough in quantum tech. How did they do it? According to Phys.org, by measuring the direct time delay between one photon and a pair of bound photons scattering off a single quantum dot. This could lead to better resolution, sensitivity and fault-tolerance in quantum computing. THE MAGIC OF HEMP Okay, not that kind of magic. No, this is the kind of magic that puts you at ease without the jittery paranoia of all that “extra stuff.” There is no “extra stuff” here, this is pure CBD and hemp wonder, in the form of tinctures, creams, and capsules.

/CURIOUS //FROM YESTERDAY WE QUIZZED YOU: WHEN IS THE NEXT Y2K-ESQUE EVENT? The correct answer is, technically… “2038,” though if you answer “Never again,” you’re probably not wrong because it’ll either be just like Y2K and a whole lotta nothing or we’ll just fix it ahead of time. Here’s the breakdown: Δ 33.7% of you said “Never again” — Like we said, not wrong but also not technically correct, we guess? Δ 22.2% of you said “2038” — Technically true, because according to Wikipedia, that’s when the next big “uh-oh, our computers can’t do math” event is. Δ 19% of you said “2049” — We like you. We stan Blade Runner 2049 as well. Δ 16.3% of you said “2122” — Sorry, but most of us will likely be around for it. Δ 8.7% of you said “2024” — Ooh, let’s hope not!
