Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

NO! This study definitely does *not* provide a continuous reconstruction of El Niño spanning the past millennium. In fact, my main criticism was that it is *missing* critical (based on our own climate model simulations) segments. See this thread: bsky.app/profile/mich...

Now that the summer peak is behind us, we can confidently conclude that 2024 will retain its title for warmest day on record, with 2023 coming in 2nd and 2026 coming in a close 3rd. August was nonetheless the warmest month on record, as a growing El Nino event adds to steady ongoing warming.

The causes are unchanged. On short timescales, the mix of those causes has some variability, especially wrt surface temperatures. The temperature of your hair (surface) changes more than the temperature of your body (ocean heat content).

If you think the cost of acting on climate is high, read an article like this and see just how high the cost of inaction is.   Vermonters know how devastating floods can be. And in the years to come, these disasters will only become more frequent and severe.

A melting glacier contributed to the deadly Nepal floods. We can expect more like this
As the climate continues to warm, scientists warn that the frequency of disasters like the floods in Nepal will increase.

Classic "projection", honed over decades by Republican operatives like Roy Cohn and Carl Rove, now embraced by Trump & co: Accuse your opponent of the very thing (in this case, antisemitism) of which you yourself are guilty to tar them & immunize yourself. Putin has used this tactic w/ Ukraine.

It is not headed by a “climate critic“. It is headed by someone who is unqualified in this area, who cannot offer valid critiques but instead shares debunked claims, and who regularly attacks climate scientists. Like me.

The administration has a new climate change office. It’s headed by a climate critic.
The office that produces the National Climate Assessment has been reconstituted, after the administration gutted it last year.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.
