Read this @ktoussaint.bsky.social piece about attribution science, which fossil fuel companies and their shills are trying to undermine because it’s the tool we have for holding fossil fuel companies accountable for climate damage.

"After Entergy joined MISO in 2013, MISO’s planning hours ballooned from 1,011 in 2014 to 5,844 in 2018.2 When MISO approved $21.8 billion in long-range lines in 2024, all of those lines went into the Midwest; no long-range lines went to MISO South, where they might outcompete Entergy’s plants."

Understanding Trump's Russia oil deal is simple once you know that Putin invited Jared Kuschner and Steve Witkoff to participate in a buy-out of Russia's oil giant, LukOil. LukOil stock is currently almost worthless due to sanctions, but if they are lifted (wink, wink) it will be worth $billions.

A new study by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa examines how tropical cyclone activity near Hawai‘i might change in a warmer future. While the total number of storms remains uncertain, a warmer future could bring stronger storms, with a shift in the relationship between El Niño and hurricane risk.
