In a 2024 paper criticizing the 'billion-dollar-disasters' database, Roger Pielke Jr. published analysis that is best described as a Russian-doll of errors. Here's my in-depth take down of his appallingly bad work.

Roger Pielke Jr.’s Appallingly Bad Analysis of Billion Dollar Disasters – Economics from the Top Down
In a recent paper called Scientific integrity and U.S. “Billion Dollar Disasters”, Roger Pielke Jr. published a chart that's so bad I've devoted a whole essay to debunking it.

Starting on bsky with a new preprint: "How to deal w___ missing input data"

Missing input data is a very common challenge in deep learning for hydrology: weather providers have outages, some data products start later than others, some only exist for certain regions, etc.

Ontario is having a colder winter this year. Maybe good for our 2025 blooms.. when winters are warmer it releases all the bound phosphorus in soils and without any crops to take them up it runs off to our lakes patiently waiting for the temperatures to warm

Warmer winters are fuelling a growth in algal blooms across the Great Lakes
Algal blooms are typically associated with summer weather but warmer winters caused by climate change are resulting in blooms appearing more frequently, and for longer periods.
