Now moronic science deniers want to undo the achievement of global cooperation to stop the hole in the ozone layer. Anyone can see how we stopped the hole from growing (pic, my markup) after the treaty. If these idiots keep getting their way we’re in very serious trouble.

David Wallace-Wells It never ceases to amaze me how easily oligarchs convince themselves they became rich by being special, when in fact the main thing they did was do business in a country where other people’s taxes subsidised food, energy, water, transport, education, healthcare, retirement and

The first leg of modern capitalist democracy that we cut out from under ourselves was valuing teachers and teaching above all else.

Not only will Trump undo years of progress on decarbonisation in America, he’ll also allow Putin to go back into business as the world’s largest exporter of fossil fuels, largest flarer of gas, largest gas leaker, largest emitter of black carbon, and largest deforester.

E K Edgar McGregor Do your homework. When Western oil companies pulled out of Russia under sanctions they wrote down assets on balance sheets, then gouged us for years to make up the losses (link), driving up inflation. Reclaiming abandoned assets now under Trump is windfall profit.

If you believe tens of thousands of scientists in every economy have conspired, involving authorities in every government - NASA, JMO, BOM, ECMWF, MetOffice - and every leading scientific institution, and university, to fabricate thousands of data sets incl. geology, biology,

It’s a nice idea, but Gutenburg said this same thing of the printing press, and Marconi of the radio. Those in power - threatened by the spread of ideas - always find a way to control new media and its messages.

It’s painful watching deniers pile on with arguments revealing they didn’t read the science. Just once I would like the bad news about climate change to be shown to be wrong by someone with a brain.

Who is today’s Carl Sagan?

Prof. Eliot Jacobson I still don’t get this ‘the world will go on’ after we go extinct hypothesis. The only reason the End Permian mass extinction didn’t continue into runaway warming was a ~1 million year recovery lead by ocean life.
