And here I am thinking that a was psyops to dunk on the religious right... Incredible self own and lack of self-awareness

Fascinating about the Tesla Roadster how no commentator has noticed that there isn't anyone sitting in the car, no one getting in or out. A purely decorative car that cannot bring a person from A to B? Will never be street legal. Going on these tangents should cause the stock price to drop...

Meanwhile in the real world: bsky.app/profile/zack...

Classic business hack: they're losing money on every transaction but the high quantity makes up for that!

Framing the events directly in the context of climate change. What would it take to write an article like this every week with every new event?

Support your local investigative journalists y'all, they're doing incredible work!

> Since Miami is built on limestone, which soaks up water like a sponge, walls are not very useful. In Miami, sea water will just go under a wall, like a salty ghost. Well this hits close to home... Great piece by @sarahlovescali.bsky.social and glad to see Amy Clement featured!

My take is that this judge has gone his whole life never having to resort to drinking water from the tap. Good for him I suppose but really?

Good news! Trump backs universal basic income!

Just realized that the US has been targeting *full* oil tankers. Ignoring for a moment that the whole conflict is a farce, they could have just as well crippled the Iranian economy by targeting *empty* tankers. An avoidable environmental disaster, I suppose none of the decision makers care anyways.

Worth reading yourself, but this is a good summary from Heated/What if we get it right.

At the moment we have no real idea how to scale up carbon removal--it's a hair on the mole of the ugly backside of the global hydrocarbon industry But we do know how to scale up solar panels and wind turbines and batteries. So that's our job billmckibben.substack.com/p/facts-on-t...

Update: The academic flight from Twitter is now complete and appears permanent. April 2023, after the pandemic research surge, we recorded 2,234,307 posts sharing research on Twitter. As of April this year, "X" had 896,741 posts about research. That's a 60% drop in traffic.

> Limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains a cornerstone of the Paris Agreement, yet under current policies and alternative near-term trajectories, exceedance of 1.5°C is now widely assessed as unavoidable. www.unep.org/resources/li...

Just realized this is the first time I see the current economic system of the United States accurately described as state capitalism. The Wikipedia article has some interesting international/historical examples.

Love this story. There are so many things we can do locally to protect the environment, or even the planet. My go-to example have always been pipelines. They cover vast areas and states just grant companies the permit. They don't have to, but they do it. (Admittedly a simplification but still...)

My daughter started reading and now I need to get her fresh product every week! Scary how fast kids get hooked!

Tonight I dug this script out of my visualization archives from four years ago. Sadly, I had to further extend the y-axis scale as rapid warming continues, with a new record this year. No surprise to many experiencing the extreme summer heat... Data from GISTEMPv4: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/faq/

A bar of Lindt chocolate is over $6 at my local supermarket. We don't talk about chocolate anymore 😔

Thanks ma'am, I just spent $18 on four items at the supermarket, the only thing I want to donate now is a Kidney.

Unfortunately, teachers do have to work though and I do feel for them.

According to my beliefs, today is a traditional holiday for parents called "first day of school."

I'm so tired of seeing all those uncritical lifestyle stories about the ultrarich. tf is even going on.

This brine-injected chicken is such a pain to cook, rendering all this water. They've made it so preparing tofu is easier than preparing chicken, amazing!

cause it's going 📉 for everyone? Fair.

Was surprised that The Hill would have someone write something so timely and candid. Turns out it's a reader-submitted op-ed 🤷

Just one more airstrike bro! I swear bro just one more, I swear.

Taps the sign: it's climate change, dummy!

> The president told Ms. Prabhakar that he would not want his college-age daughter to read the story, the lawsuit says. You really have to be a graduate student to be old enough to read that story, I suppose...

When you want to discuss affordability, why write a human interest piece on a conservative think tank though? "Man gets money from conservative donors, corporations" — if that's why we should care, is that really the lead to *this* story?

Ad agencies are getting rich selling Oil & Gas in a climate crisis. Why shouldn’t we? Try Petro at seriouspeople.co/meet-petro

Don't want to be accidentally be moving in the right direction...

Canada's Pathways CCS project. > could cost more than twice the $16 billion original estimate and sequester only a fraction of the oilsands’ carbon pollution initially promised Who could have guessed? (Me, I could have guessed that, and I'm guessing costs will keep rising. Go renewable!)

If protected areas can be arbitrarily modified, then there are no pieces in practice.

Maybe it's time to go back to the basics?

It's also not the first instance of contacts between industry and CCS scholars, just the most significant one. Not sure I understand the criticism even...

Bitcoin below $60k this week, does that mean global demand for drugs and ransoms is dropping off? What's gonna happen next to the giant space heater of the internet?

Great new resource to follow in the spirit of climate.gov. I appreciate the simple climate climate dashboard. NOAA has not had the political independence necessary to speak openly about climate change in a while, this could be a great step.

Possibly the most interesting thing I have read all year. BP was so deeply involved with a landmark paper that at some point, the authors had offered co-authorship to a BP climate advisor! And that paper has changed how a generation of scholars thought about climate action, favoring CCS etc.

Well, at least we're clear then on what Anthropic's priorities really are...

Russia's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is underway, and the guest list includes the Taliban, far-right European parties, and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. Really the who is who of people you would not want to have at your international conference.

Really WP? This is the best headline that you could come up for with this story? God forbid you employ someone who has an opinion on anything.
