Earthling Energy Imbalance

Imagine a problem so big that the entirety of humanity depended on solving it. If there were a once in a lifetime chance to work on THAT problem, then that's the problem I would want to work on. What about you?

Taking an X cleanse. Buhbye for now.

Hurricane Helene damage could reach $160 billion. Please tell me again about how fossil fuels are too valuable to leave in the ground. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Economic damage from climate change six times worse than thought – report. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

@curious_founder I wonder where Mexico is getting their guns 🤔

It’s the guns.

I’d trust the Governor of Minnesota on housing.

New paper! "Since around the 1970s, the ocean warming trend has intensified, doubling its rate over the past 2 decades." The state of the global ocean @KvSchuckmann et al. (2024)

BREAKING: Young people are sitting-in at @CBS HQ in NYC urging Moderator @NorahODonnell to include a question about climate change and Hurricane Helene in tonight's VP debate. The media needs to talk about Hurricane Helene for what it is—Big Oil’s greed destroying our homes.

We see your 1980s reports and raise you the 1965 speech by @APIenergy President Frank Ikard to a big oil conference, warning "time is running out" to "save the world's peoples from the catastrophic consequence of pollution."

I thought @ProfBrianCox was sensible. Doesn't he think maybe we need to go about saving our civilization, before exploring the universe? Because we're not going to do it with a collapsed civilization, re: climate change. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… 1/3

@polimatt1 @EliotJacobson I wouldn't rely on google for climate science, or any complex scientific field. No credible scientists still claim sensitivity as low as 1.5°C. The seminal research to date on ECS is Hansen et al, calculating a range of 3.6-6.0°C, 4.8°C ± 1.2°C academic.oup.com/oocc/article/3…

@HowKeen @EliotJacobson Yep.

It is October 1, 2024. Has the X climate community by now taught me everything I need to know about where we are in collapse and where we are going, how we will and won't respond, what will kill us first and most cruelly. Other than doom porn, us and there any further value here?
