RRSchünemann Graham K Most science deniers buy into this form of ‘Copernicus Syndrome’ where they believe they have special insight that defies the current consensus. What they overlook is that Copernican theory was banned by a corrupt authority, a church. When the idea was introduced in other…

Kinda looks like this turned out to be a thing (La Nina propagation flipping west-to-east/CP a couple years before a strong El Nino)? 🤷‍♂️

Does anyone else find it odd how - for years - conservatives called environmentalists hair-shirt wearing communists… But now, how fast conservatives are to ignore the economics on renewable energy? 🤔

I guess ~5 yrs till we stop increasing CO2 emissions is a start. (We’ll just reach net zero ~20 yrs late.)

The Easter Eggs this year taste special?

Interesting fact: Air pollution slowed economic development even during the industrial revolution (link). The indirect costs of unregulated air pollution - on human health and asset values (Guo et al 2023) - were always an oversight. If we had a do-over as a species, we should…

While it is true that humans might survive in a less biodiverse world, that protecting every other species could be optional to our own success, there is one very good reason - above all others - which is entirely self-serving, why we should preserve all other species and their…

It’s saddening to watch climate deniers continue gorging themselves on the same intellectually lazy drivel year after year, rejecting centuries of diligent advancement, choosing instead the cognitive equivalent of cotton candy. Our ancestors, and our descendants, deserve better.

Elizabeth Kolbert great piece today on ‘Why Is The Sea So Hot?’. But I’m not linking that. I’m linking this instead - which deserves more credit: 18 mths prior to ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ hitting cinemas, you tackled the subject of climate change with more force and foresight, than…

(B) Temp correlates inversely to both productivity and life expectancy (pic 1)
(C) Temp/CO2 both correlate inversely - on both immediate and evolutionary timescales - to cognitive function (pic 2, 3). Combined, there will be a…

Imagine seeing this majestic creature in the wild.

Thomas W Counterfactual Lukács Németh Mark Nelson Arizona’s use of wastewater for nuclear power isn’t just impacting farming (pic 1) but also housing (pic 2):

The main driver of cost increases and blow-outs on nuclear power plants is labour costs (pic 1). They require a lot of people to build - skills that are also in demand on other infrastructure projects - and a lot of people to run. Labour costs, more than materials, are why nukes…
