@jasonhickel: Emissions targets based on % reduction can be quite problematic from a justice perspective. For example, if the US achieves its target of ~50% reduction by 2030, its per capita emissions will still be higher than the EU's today, and more than double the global South average.

@fermatslibrary: 1729 was the number of the cab that G.H. Hardy took when he visited S. Ramanujan in the hospital.
Hardy thought it was a "dull number" and Ramanujan replied "it is a very interesting number. It is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways" https://t.co/OFc0UATSXR
