An ode to Framber Valdez, the underappreciated southpaw who authored a fitting potential sendoff on Thursday to keep the Astros' playoff hopes alive - www.nytimes.com/athletic/666...

is there a way to set a timer for Sept. 25, 2027 so I can justifiably mock this? @bradplumer.bsky.social

this is sooooooo f'ing sweet. every time Sec. Chris Wright lies about the DOE Climate Working Group report, reporters cite our response.

anyone want to update my wikipedia page? I'd do it myself but I understand you're not supposed to do that. I have notes on what needs to be updated. email me if interested: [email protected].

Excited to work with @agu.org, @ametsoc.org, @costasamaras.com (and our colleagues not on Bluesky) to develop this special collection, which aims to advance climate assessments within the US at all scales.

I read what you read. And see the growing need for New faces and New voices. In Virginia's 1st Congressional District in '26, let's get science and data back in the House and put it to work To lower costs, simplify healthcare, get our freedoms back, and act on climate. Join us: seanforva.com

Sometimes I make fat jokes about my dog. She does not like it but would be open to eating the hoagie.

In the AP's fact check of Trump's UN speech, I was able to do one of my favorite things: bash carbon footprints. apnews.com/article/trum...

I occasionally see a photo of someone giving a talk and 9 out of 10 times I'll think, "my god, that's a terrible slide".

🚨 NCA5 is now LIVE! 🚨 They took it down, but we've brought it back at: nca5.climate.us Bookmark. 👏 this. 👏 page. 👏 This is just our first step in restoring trusted science information that Americans need to understand what's happening with the climate.

If you challenge and you're right the umpire should have to apologize

The first picture is from the outside of the main FBI building. The second is the main Justice Department building across the street.

But we should debate those bounds now, before heat waves, crop failures, or tipping-point fears goad governments into ill-considered action. The world stumbled into today’s accidental sulfur cooling without intention or oversight. We should not stumble into a replacement.

should be interesting: Congress looking to get info from DOE CWG member about the clusterf*ck that the report was. I'm sure the DOE CWG will fight to not release any information about the process. this is how you know that the process was deeply flawed. democrats-science.house.gov/news/press-r...

ECS <2 is absurd in the year of our lord 2025. The data used in Sherwood et al is now almost a decade old (not to mention Lewis and Curry 2014). Even ignoring pattern effects, we’re now already at ~1.5C with less than 2xCO2 and an even larger energy imbalance. No way Effective ECS is <2.

Just found out that we can request an armed guard to walk us to class. Yeah, things are going great on campus.

The Astros plan to activate Isaac Paredes off the injured list prior to tonight's game against the Mariners, source tells @theathletic.com. Paredes has been out since July 19 after suffering a severe right hamstring strain. MLB dot com first reported

On behalf of our 85+ experts, @andrewdessler.com and I submitted a minor update to the experts’ review as a comment on EPA’s proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. This version includes a new cover letter that walks through all the science EPA gets wrong.

apparently the DOE Climate Working Group has registered this website: ClimateWorkingGroup.com. Here it is, full of information just as interesting and relevant as the report itself.

On this date in 2019, fangraph's playoff odds. The 2019 #Astros were a really good team.

The @Astros sweep the Rangers and take the Silver Boot in 2025!

🧪 New National Academies report concludes that rising greenhouse gas levels imperil public health and the 2009 endangerment finding “has stood the test of time.” Game on. Gift link: Top Scientists Find Growing Evidence That Greenhouse Gases Are, in Fact, a Danger www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/c...

A new report by the prestigious US National Academy of Sciences concludes that the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding was accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence:

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?...

Happening now. Andrew is live-skeeting 👇

National Academies is releasing their fast-tracked review of the science of the endangerment finding in about 1 hour, with a webcast in about 2 hours. www.nationalacademies.org/event/45701_...

as predicted, most Congressional reps agreed that this is a waste of time

The #Astros used to have the highest baseball IQ in the game, but now they look like chuckle heads. Why is Alvarez trying to steal 2nd up 6-2 in the 8th inning. The guy has had knee problems his entire career — I would like to see him get on a gurney at 1st base & get wheeled around the base paths.

I kept trying to come up with a joke about this, but (h/t Tom Lehrer) satire is obsolete when MTG is having a hearing on weather control with witnesses Pielke and Martz. No joke is funnier than reality.

I have literally made this mistake: I went to DCA when my flight actually left from IAD. This was 1996 and I was on my way to a faculty job interview at Univ. of Arizona. Luckily, there was a flight leaving from DCA at about the same time and they put me on it. Gift link: wapo.st/46js48L

I finally met @billmckibben.bsky.social in person last night at the Houston Progressive Forum. Bill is a true OG climate warrior. He’s one of the few people who have been in the climate game longer than I have.

I'll let you know
