Maybe this @johncullenocean.bsky.social et al. piece where they said — "adding iron to the ocean is not an effective way to fight climate change, and we don't need further research to establish that" — wasn't straightforward enough because this idea just won't die. 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.nature.com/articles/461...

And since we're at it: making data & code available is never a bad idea. I can recall many papers that needed more rounds of review because of authors not sharing data &/or code; I can't recall a single one where sharing created problems. (Sensitive data not to be shared are another matter)

Reminder to authors submitting to @natecoevo.nature.com: manuscripts don't need to closely match our format guidelines at first submission - things like word count and article sections can be ironed out later - but please don't forget LINE NUMBERS.

No, global temperatures are not "rising faster than climate models seem able to explain". They are rising EXACTLY as fast as climate model predicted. AND THAT'S BAD ENOUGH! bsky.app/profile/mich... #TruthIsBadEnough
