249 yr of homogenized temperature at Innsbruck (Tirol) 📈
Climate of the 21st c. is impressively consistent in its rate of warming (esp. last 40 yr) and has nothing to do with 20th c. climate! 🔥
Spoiler: Solar activity has nothing to do with it! 🤡

The fossil fuel industry gets 11 million dollars in subsidies every single minute: buff.ly/3BmwdIh
How many more disasters does it take before we stop funding the problem? #ActOnClimate

Das hatte ich noch nie: Ein LinkedIn-Post erreicht nur mich selbst. Liegt es möglicherweise an meiner Kritik an US-Plattformen mit Hinweis auf Mastodon? Werden Inhalte zurückgehalten – wer beeinflusst künftig unsere digitale Meinungsbildung? #Europa braucht digitale Souveränität.

Trump is just the trigger.
There are deep historical forces:
The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries.
People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry.
They should be angry at Republicans.
But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

In a sane world, this would be front page news everywhere.
But it will hardly be covered anywhere.
The North Pacific Ocean surface warmed over twice as much over the past 15 years than it did over the preceding 156 years.
That's an increase in warming rate of >2000%!

Acceleration of warming is especially clear over the North Pacific Ocean, which warmed more than twice as much over the past 15 years than it did over the preceding 150 years!

It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past six years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of (dimming) particulate air pollution.
Loud voices in the climate community ignore the actual science and constantly use cherry-picking, strawmann arguments and ad hominems to try and deny the undeniable.
Pretending that we have been exaggerating, while it's likely even worse than we feared (again, based on data).
False hope and vested interests will get a lot of people killed, as it has for centuries.

Hört über Geschichten und Manipulationen im Wirtschaftsleben!
Die ehemalige Staatsanwältin Anne Brorhilker bringt Licht in die #CumEx Affäre. Und keiner will es wissen!
Es ist wirklich hochinteressant, wie #Steuerkriminalität funktioniert und anschließend hocheffektiv verschleiert und gerechtfertigt wird.
Dagegen ist #Bürgergeldmissbrauch nichts!

„Ich glaube nicht mehr länger, dass Demokratie und Freiheit miteinander vereinbar sind.“
Dieser Satz kommt von Peter Thiel, dem Mitbegründer von #Palantir. Von solchen Typen sollten wir uns gerade mit Blick auf unsere Sicherheit niemals abhängig machen.

You’ve probably heard this one before: “But the climate’s always changed!” And it’s true—Earth’s climate has changed before. But not this fast, and not for this reason…
Watch the full episode of Cold Facts, Hot Takes to see how I take even more troll comments and give evidence-based comebacks.
