Uncertainty at scale: how CS hinders climate research

Videos from the third Programming for the Planet (PROPL) workshop at PLDI 2026, and Cyrus Omar is visiting Cambridge on sabbatical for a year to drive followups!

Ten years of the CCI with Sir David Attenborough, Andrew's Royal Society Environment Medal lecture, and the third PROPL at PLDI, while wrapping a local DeepSeek agent in OCaml and a first stab at getting Eio fleshed out on Windows.

Notes from a wonderfully interdisciplinary Edinburgh workshop on 'Rewilding the Web', ranging coopetition and biological variety through the philosophy of self-organisation, polycrisis governance, protopian science fiction, and moderation seen through the lens of artisanal cheese.

We analysed 44 REDD+ projects and find that the voluntary market did over-credit, but also that most projects slowed deforestation on the ground. Forest carbon credits are under priced relative to permanent removals, and fixing the base price would remove most of the financial pressure that drives over-crediting in the first place.
