Support Earth Force

Earth Force is an independent side project built to make planetary climate observations understandable, non-alarmist, and freely accessible to everyone.

A Note from the Builders

Two data scientists · spare-time maintainers

Hey there! We are two data scientists who build and maintain Earth Force in our spare time as an independent side project. The goal has always been simple: give everyday citizens a calm, transparent, and scientifically rigorous view of what’s happening across our planet’s air, weather, and water—without doom-mongering or corporate noise.

To ensure that every single number you see is 100% real and not simulated, Earth Force executes a daily batch pipeline every morning across 500 world cities. This involves real out-of-pocket costs for commercial and scientific APIs:

  • SerpApi to search and ground-truth active anomaly zones with verified local news reporting.
  • Google Gemini Flash to convert dense atmospheric physics into empathetic, plain-English citizen summaries.
  • Supabase & PostGIS to store and index historical 30-day baseline data for over 1.41 billion monitored citizens.
  • Automated cloud compute to process and evaluate extreme statistical distributions every single day.

There are no asks on how much you should give, no paywalls, and no subscription tiers. If Earth Force has been helpful, interesting, or informative to you, chipping in to buy a coffee helps cover these monthly API bills and keeps the project running freely for everyone.

Where API & Server Costs Come From

Here is a transparent look at the scientific services and cloud infrastructure that power Earth Force daily:

SerpApi News

Automated Google News queries that find real local stories to corroborate detected anomaly zones.

Google Gemini AI

Translates raw meteorological deviations into calm, 2-to-3 sentence plain-English summaries for everyday citizens.

Supabase PostGIS

Persistent cloud PostgreSQL storing 500 city baselines, 10,512 world grid cells, and daily telemetry.

Daily Cloud Batch

Automated runners computing GEV sample-day rarity, Gamma SPI curves, and BH q diagnostics at 04:00 UTC.
