The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy
BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

著名数学家陶哲轩刚刚发表了一篇评论,批评特朗普政府对美国科学界的全面攻击。评论的副标题是:The "Mozart of Math" tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research。——大意是: 数学神童不想惹政治,政治却向他的研究开了刀 (让我联想起昔日中国 “白专典范” 的遭遇,特朗普的美国倒退得多远,由此可见一斑)。最近一段时间,除美国外,时不时也听到其他国家右翼得势的消息,相应的政治人物则被称为 “某国的特朗普”…… 字数超标,全文请到我主页阅读: www.changhai.org/articles/mis...

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I made 11,160 model runs with our BiomeE in this paper. It was done for many times, with different model settings to test model assumptions and parameterization. Eventually, we only chose one set of the runs in the results. Toy models are useful! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
