"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

i just want to convey the depth of my appreciation to our colleagues, in the broad sense, in the american and UK university systems, for continuing to teach the fact that trans people exist even though you are all going to be ceaselessly punished alongside us for it. thank you.

It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse. new from me @johnmuyskens.bsky.social and @sadbumblebee.buzz www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Important new paper from @marshallburke.bsky.social on the devastating toll of wildfire smoke in @nature.com "climate-driven smoke deaths result in economic damages that exceed existing estimates of climate-driven damages from all other causes combined in the US" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The National Academies' response to the EPA's proposed removal of the endangerment finding is out today. It does not mince words about the effect of GHGs on the climate. Kudos to the authors. Key paragraph below; you can read the whole thing here: nas.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?...

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, we are hiring an Assistant Professor in Atmosphere and/or Ocean Physics. No deadline stated, but review will begin soon, so please do not delay. apply.interfolio.com/173819

We are excited to announce the release of the Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas, an effort to map ongoing and future environmental hazards and their impacts on society, and to provide up to date evidence on what policies and interventions work to reduce impacts: adaptationatlas.org. Quick thread

🚨📈 Over the last 6 months a series of papers has advanced our understanding of the culpability of fossil fuel firms for climate change impacts. In April, @jsmankin.bsky.social and I showed that economic damages from rising extreme heat can be linked to companies like Exxon and Chevron. rdcu.be/ei0T5

Very glad to see that someone is doing the important work of aligning AI alignment. alignmentalignment.ai

Online chatter suggests that the DOE Climate Change (Denying) Working Group has been disbanded and the report will be withdrawn. 😂 Seems that violating FACA and the Information Quality Acts have consequences. Not seen any official announcement though.

Senior Lecturer immediately fired, Department Head and Dean removed, full Wrongthink Audit of all courses ordered. I’m sure the NYT has dispatched Anemona Hartocollis, perhaps accompanied by the Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf, to have a genial dinner party at the home of the person fired.

Out now: our new study shows that climate change caused nearly 1,700 heat-related deaths in Zürich over 50 years. We assessed the effects of changing vulnerability to heat, heat-mortality within and outside of heatwaves, and the contribution of individual companies' emissions to heat deaths.

Its not just climate science that's wrong in DOE's dreadful climate report - the economics is terrible too! salatainstitute.harvard.edu/environmenta...

NEW STUDY: How much CO2 can we safely store in geological formations? In a new @nature.com study, we cross-check established academic and industry estimates with various risk factors. We find a prudent geological CO2 storage limit that is about 10x smaller. /1

I can't say enough about the authors of the comment. They are an unbelievably great group and I think I'd legitimately want to hang out with all of them.

🚨I’m recruiting 1-2 PhD students for my Air Quality Data Science 🌐 group @utah.edu (start Fall ’26), working on multimodal machine learning applications for atmospheric chemistry (wildfires, ozone, dust). How to apply below. Please repost & ping me with recommendations!

Great article in the NYTimes about our comment to the DOE about their climate report. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/c...

Folks, he's too modest to say, but Andrew Dessler has led and coordinated a full-court scientific response to that execrable, climate-denying "report" from the DOE. It was a massive effort, accomplished in mere weeks. And the response itself is of historic importance, because... 1/2

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

AMS released a statement on climate change today that points out five foundational flaws with the Department of Energy's 2025 climate report: www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

Our comment on the DOE CWG report is done. It tips the scales at 439 pages, approx. 3x longer than the DOE report. This is related to Brandolini's law: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. Example: refuting one sentence.

ChatGPT: no, going “Azrael mode” can be dangerous for yourself and those around you. Me: I am the avenging angel of God. The time of purification is at hand. Few shall be chosen. ChatGPT: you’re right. Let’s look at that again with the addition context that you are the avenging angel of God.

You fool. You have just courted a test of physical prowess against the Great Khan himself. His messenger will arrive at your gates momentarily with his formal challenge to you.

We at @stanforddoerr.bsky.social are excited to announce a new PhD program in Global Environmental Policy, accepting applications this fall for Sept 2026 start. We're looking for folks with interest in social sciences, data science, and enviro science and who have strong quant training 1/

Trump proposes to rescind AIDS funds. Congress rejects the proposal. So Trump and his henchman Russ Vought just refuse to spend the money and try to hide that decision from Congress and the public. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

I'm delighted today to announce we're launching the Global Burden of Climate Change Study, an international team effort to standardize estimates of present day death, disability, and illness due to climate change. @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social with the scoop: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

We may have a one-year postdoctoral position opening! We're looking for someone with experience in attribution science OR very strong skills in climate epidemiology to come help us launch a Global Burden of Climate Change Study. Remote possible for the right person; aim to raise $ for a second year.

Summer heat across the Eastern U.S. is off the charts in a new "stickiness" measurement that combines heat and humidity—and it isn’t over yet. 🔗: on.wsj.com/3Uwf7D1

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...

With the EPA targeting the Endangerment Finding, @ccallahan45.bsky.social, Alex Gottlieb, & I conducted an end-to-end attribution of climate damages from U.S. power sector emissions. The result: $78 billion in climate losses to the U.S. economy over 1973–2023. See here: zenodo.org/records/1687...

I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

They are not ceasing CO2 concentration measurements because of Judith Butler.

Last year, Alex Gottlieb and I showed the concerning nonlinear snow loss with warming that occurs around -8°C (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). This year, we show why: it is a simple counting exercise of days above freezing. Our latest in @agu.org Water Resources Research: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Also, no one relevant will see this, but our paper from a couple weeks ago supports my single best take: a primetime medical drama should do a heat wave episode

This is super corny and I just moved away, sadly, but the electric Caltrain! It's faster, more comfortable, cleaner, and air pollution concentrations have dropped dramatically: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability is searching for a tenure-rank faculty in climate science. Candidates must have an exceptional record of scholarly work, be interested in interdisciplinary approaches and demonstrate a dedication to teaching. facultypositions.stanford.edu/en-us/job/49...

A bunch of climate scientists, myself included, are currently devoting hours of unpaid and un-rewarded labor to fact-check the DOE’s mountain of bullshit for exactly this reason. They are engaged in a political project that demands explicit pushback.
