I’m legitimately crying! This is the most incredible experience I’ve ever done… I’ve jumped out of planes, I’ve been to #NASCAR… but this, standing between 2 @NHRA dragsters? It’ll change your life! - @Dbacks’ @ArchieBradley7 at the #ArizonaNats at @RaceFMP 💪

I love this incredible map of Native American nations because it reminds us that all of what is now the United States is Indigenous lands!

“The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.” — Bertrand Russell, Freedom and Government

The entire heat capacity of the atmosphere is equal to the top 3.5 meters of the oceans. The remaining 3,700m of the abyss is Earth’s true thermal vault. The truth is, the Earth is a water planet and oceans cover 71% of the surface to an average depth of 2.3 miles. Ocean currents carry warm water from the mid tropics to the northern hemisphere, then the currents return after a round trip of 1,000 years. Without these currents northern Europe would look like Greenland. Warm waters from the Roman warm period (240BC to 400AD) are still just returning to the mid latitudes. The atmosphere by comparison is a gaseous envelope that retains almost no thermal energy, hardly any CO2 and is largely controlled by ocean dynamics. The deep Pacific itself is so massive that it is only now receiving the cold waters from the Little Ice Age. We aren't starting from scratch, we are mid-cycle in a 4.6-billion-year-old machine. We’ve also reinvented the climate. Once, it was a word for the local weather of robins and sparrows. Now it's a global ideological abstraction. We’ve lost our admiration for the natural world. We count CO2 in ppm while ignoring the satellite-proven greening of the Sahara. It’s time to move past the light breezes and offshore winds and look into the deep. Ask yourself, is the 1.4°C warming since 1850 really an unprecedented crisis? The physics says the ocean runs the game.

Speaking of the 1930s Dust Bowl… many all-time US heat records were set during that time. It’s important to understand that the Dust Bowl was - in large part - a manmade phenomenon. So when people claim “man can’t change the climate” the Dust Bowl flies in the face of that claim. If you have genuine interest in the history, how it happened etc… watch this 5-minute video I did a few years ago. I interviewed a Plain States historian and a climate scientist who offered some great perspective. cbsnews.com/amp/news/dust-…

Fascinating. This map shows how stable the protestant (red) and catholic (blue) divide across Germany remained over the last centuries (data displayed from 1648 to 2011). HT @sundellviz
