@SenWhitehouse Coal as baseload costs less and is more valuable. Using coal to fill in gaps for unreliable renewables is more expensive. Renewables have driven up the price of all power sources by lowering the efficiency of coal and gas.

Coal keeps fading as renewables climb, even as Trump raises electricity costs by forcing expensive, polluting defunct coal plants back on line — part of his payoff (with your money) to his big fossil fuel donors.

@BergvikJohnny @DrKutney You want to go back to 1850 temperatures?

@purplesuit @DrKutney The connection between CO2 is a science experiment children, but not you for some reason, can understand. As for any recent spike or variation in temperature: that's irrelevant. We've had a long accelerating trend since shortly after our species begun consuming fossil fuels.

Q. How are we doing in stopping global warming? A. Not very good. #ClimateBrawl

@ChrisSmolinski The planet is burning!

@royermattw Why are you urging people to vote yes when there's obviously no enthusiasm on the no side? Seems like a waste of time...

A tale of two Saturday rallies. Both with Virginia members of congress. No vote (L): Congressman Morgan Griffith. Yes vote (R): Congressman Don Beyer.

@ProfBillMcGuire "Pliocene climate" can't happen without Pliocene geography. Current geography is locked in. It's about AMOC/SMOC and you'll say AMOC is going to stop and then our geography won't matter. But AMOC didn't stop during HO when the northern hemisphere was warmer esp the Arctic

Good luck! With a return at least to a Pliocene climate locked-in, we can expect sea levels eventually to be 15 to 25 METRES higher theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

@MickInTheIsland @SenLouiseLucas They already ruled.

@purplesuit @SenLouiseLucas You have no idea how the court will rule.

Virginians- the choice is now up to you on whether we stand up to Donald Trump’s abuses or just watch him gerrymander the rest of the country from the sidelines. You can vote early today or vote on Tuesday at your normal polling place. Make a plan. Don’t guess. VOTE YES.

@MickInTheIsland @SenLouiseLucas Stop blowing smoke. The VA Supreme Court isn't going to overturn a vote that they just allowed to happen. The entire goal of people like you is to suppress the NO vote.

@SenLouiseLucas This is completely unconstitutional and unacceptable. The Supreme Court is going to shut this down.

@rahmstorf Did the AMOC slow during the Holocene Optimum when it was much warmer in the northern NH? No, it had weakened prior with meltwater pulses but was stable with warming. Current warming, still below HO levels will not weaken the AMOC.

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨 us.cnn.com/2026/04/16/cli…

@seckhardt Thanks for the summary, GFS seemed a bit cool. Split the difference?

Ended up around 90 the last 2 days in DC. The Euro was quite consistent with upper 90s. A good 5-8 degrees too warm from a few days out. Need to remember that when it’s spitting out 104 at the peak of summer,

@ClimatePNowak Can you define acceleration

Decades of satellite data confirm 3.4mm annual acceleration. I refuse to dismiss thermal expansion and ice melt as baseless scare stories while coastal ecosystems face real threats.

@GreatLakesPeck You mean Colorado?

Notice the bullseye on Utah - the problem is that warming temperatures and declining snowfall are drying out the West. Using less water - especially for agriculture - will help, but the problem will just get worse until climate change is halted.

The current state of the California fuel price madness … w.

I am a meteorologist. I have looked at the forecast. New York City is expected to reach 81°F on Tuesday, 86°F on Wednesday, and 85°F on Thursday. Then it will fall back into the 70s. Three consecutive days next week are forecast to be at or above 80°F. It has happened 13 other times in March or April since records began in 1869: • April 8–10, 1871: 3 days (peak: 85° on 4/8) • April 22–24, 1885: 3 days (peak: 84° on 4/23) • April 16–19, 1896: 3 days (peak: 90° on 4/18) • April 14–16, 1941: 3 days (peak: 87° on 4/15) • April 27–29, 1962: 3 days (peak: 91° on 4/27) • April 26–28, 1969: 3 days (peak: 86° on 4/28) • April 17–20, 1976: 4 days (peak: 96° on 4/18) • April 7–9, 1991: 3 days (peak: 90° on 4/8) • March 27–31, 1998: 5 days (peak: 86° on 3/31) • April 22–24, 2001: 4 days (peak: 87° on 4/24) • April 15–19, 2002: 5 days (peak: 96° on 4/17) • April 25–28, 2009: 4 days (peak: 92° on 4/26) • April 12–14, 2023: 3 days (peak: 91° on 4/14) So, it’s not record-breaking for NYC by any measure. Other locations in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast may set daily records, but that’s low-hanging fruit. Monthly records will remain intact, it’s far from the earliest extreme heat in every area, and it’s going to be a very short-lived event.

@GovernorVA You put us back in RGGI which is simply a tax added to our electric bills so people can pretend to fix the weather. Like most leftists you believe China cares about global warming but they laugh and sell us shoddy solar panels

As Governor, I know I cannot control global energy markets, or the price of eggs, or whatever the president decides to post on social media. But there are tangible steps we are taking right now to tackle high costs where Virginians feel them most: healthcare, energy, and housing. On healthcare, I signed bipartisan bills to prevent insurance companies from overruling doctors, to invest in our health care workforce, and to stop predatory middlemen from driving up the cost of prescription drugs. On energy, I signed bipartisan bills to protect ratepayers from covering the cost of infrastructure improvements, incentivize energy independence, and help localities invest in new energy technologies. On housing, I signed bipartisan bills to let localities adopt affordable housing programs, cut red tape, and incentivize construction. These bills — like so many of the others I have signed — were passed with support from Democrats and Republicans alike. Because nobody asks for your political party affiliation when you’re filling a prescription, signing a lease, or paying a monthly utility bill.

@MikeBenzCyber AI is a great equalizer. The class warfare crowd says the billionaires are making gobs of money by replacing people with AI. There's some truth to that. However AI essentially multiplies the productivity of competent people in any field that AI can tackle.

Anyone who has used AI to synthesize huge streams of research data understands its power and knows it’s a necessity to do the job well. You will be wholly outcompeted without it. The only question, and the key battleground, is not “whether AI,” it’s “whose AI” to use.

@WeatherProf Can you redraw the map only showing stations that were around in March 1907 in the same location?

This could be the "graphic of record" of the March #heatwave "1008 weather stations in the USA set (or tied) their local record for the warmest day ever observed in March. Of these, 229 recorded a new March record so extreme that it would also beat any previously observed day in April" ~1/3rd of US stations set new monthly March records! Ten stations tied or set May monthly records. Great thread by Robert below

@ChrisGloninger The primary control on both temperature and CO2 is geography. It's not impossible in events like PETM for CO2 to be the main player. But it's rare. People often cite end-Permian but ignore that the warming was preceded by rapid ice ages which precluded subsequent CO2 uptake.

Ian Plimer claims CO₂ has "never" driven past climate change. That's just wrong. - Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: CO₂ spike → 5-8°C warming - Snowball Earth: volcanic CO₂ buildup drove deglaciation - 500M years of proxy data: high CO₂ = greenhouse world And current warming? We have isotopic proof it's fossil fuels. Physics isn't a debate.

@tveitdal I read her answer about carbon cycle feedback. How she claims you need large teams of people to study each plant to see changes in CO2 uptake. But her synopsis is that plants that are "on fire" can't take up CO2. She sounds very adolescent to me. Good riddance.

Kate Marvel reflects on her fiery resignation: “I don’t think we rebuild science without getting mad.” share.google/on911qo4nuB4My…

@ChrisSmolinski Your Canada trip should be fun. Years ago I visited Nova Scotia and it was very nice. I am 50% Swiss since my mom was born there so a little biased. She once cruised to Bermuda and liked that. Personally I'd skip Panama and Singapore.

...I'm still searching for 22 out of 64 Buffalo nickels and 22 out of 33 Liberty nickels. I completed the Jefferson series with box 238. The quest goes on.

Box 327 of my quest/personal challenge to build complete Liberty and Buffalo nickel collections just from circulation via coin roll hunting. I found a semi key 1939-S, a Canadian nickel, a Bermuda nickel, and a brand new country, India! ...
