@HarrisonWFields Possible if every state allows early counting of absentee / early ballots. Most don’t (concern that early numbers would leak and influence later votes). Changing that requires action by state legislatures.

Florida is the THIRD LARGEST state in the union, and they deliver their election results in about THREE HOURS. This should be the STANDARD.

@atrupar Trump’s view of women:

Trump: "Can you imagine a wife not telling a husband who she's voting for? Did you ever hear anything like that? Even if you had a horrible -- if you had a bad relationship, you're gonna tell your husband."

@_ClimateCraze Incorrect, again. In his seminal 1966 paper Manabe estimated climate sensitivity to increasing [CO2] (inclusive of real world H2O feedback) at 2.3 C per [CO2] doubling. This has proven to be remarkably accurate, albeit on the low side (current estimated sensitivity is 3 C).

@KevinGromley In that table, Happer shows he can duplicate water-vapor assumptions by Manabe (and others), while knowing those assumptions lead to inflated heating. How do we know? Manabe received a Nobel Prize for his "assumptions" which produced the largest verification errors.

Contrary to media madness about CO2 doubling, a CO2 increase from 400 to 800 ppm is only expected to cause an increase of about 0.71 C. The climate crisis is imaginary.

@_ClimateCraze Observational data verify that mean global specific humidity is increasing. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@_ClimateCraze But we do live on a planet with large bodies of liquid water. As the atmosphere warms it holds more water vapor — water feedback does indeed happen (basic thermodynamics) and is a primary factor in the CO2-driven warming we are experiencing. /2

@Donnasdomain62 @SparksN123 And here is the final House vote on that bill, after Senate amendment and approval (note that the votes against were 83 Republican, 2 Democrat).

@KevinGromley @SparksN123 Heres the recent vote from days ago

@ChrisMartzWX If Milton hits Florida as a Cat 4 that would be 9 Cat 4 or 5 hurricanes to make US landfall in the last eight years. That’s more than the preceding 57 years.

I don’t deny [and never have] that carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming — they do. That doesn’t mean it is harmful. Once you get past the mental roadblock of one-dimensional thinking, it becomes clear that there is no evidence that warming has inflicted a great deal of harm on the state of human welfare.

This is—or should be—a huge journalistic scandal. I had been waiting to comment until I was able to verify some things for myself. This much is now unquestionable in my view: 60 Minutes/CBS has posted two entirely different versions of Harris's answer to the same exact question. One answer is coherent. The other is a mess. What is still unclear is where they got her coherent answer from. It wasn't simply edited down from the longer version they posted... again, these are two completely different answers! Did CBS do a second take of the question to help her? Did CBS take unaired footage from another question and splice it in? That's unclear at this point. CBS needs to release the unedited and full version of the interview so people can see what actually took place and how they constructed the new answer. If the answer came from another part of the interview, someone should be fired.

@ChrisMartzWX Sure. Here is a graph of Earth mean T over the last 2000 years. During this period all modern civilization — agriculture, transportation, housing, etc — was built. Other climates favor reptiles, insects, bacteria. For we humans, staying in this range would be advisable.

Let me explain it to ya like you’re 4. The entire “climate crisis” belief system revolves around the idea that the planet is “too hot” and it is harmful. The fundamental follow-up question to that is, “What is the correct global mean surface temperature?” If you can’t provide me with a numerical answer backed by physical reasoning, that decimates your cause for alarm.

@JunkScience @realDonaldTrump @washingtonpost It’s of academic interest that Earth was warmer 400 million years ago (398 million years before humans). What about the last ~10,000 years and especially last 2000, the period over which all modern human civilization developed?

Yes, @realDonaldTrump is correct --the Earth is cooling. Even the @washingtonpost agrees. The AP slammed Trump for saying at a speech on Tuesday: “The planet has actually gotten little bit cooler recently.” apnews.com/article/helene… Here's the WaPo's fact-check (my red line).👇

Update (from a climate change skeptic):

Moderator: Just to clarify, Springfield’s Haitian migrants have legal status Vance: The rules were you guys weren't going to fact check

@Artemisfornow And this is a coal mine. (PS, most copper goes into things like building wiring, electronics, wiring in cars/trucks/trains (EV and ICE) tubing…)

“He peacefully gave over power”

It's amazing how "climate scientists" continue their screaming about the 2024 heat, and still continue their silence about the Tonga volcano's unprecedented water-vapor induced global warming temperature spike.

Again, Dr Jill is historically clueless. Tropical cyclones were much more deadly in the past, when CO2 levels were much lower -- and that was when populations were smaller.
