Here they obsess over the hockey stick (h/t @ziyatong.bsky.social). (1) The cited critique is McShane & WYNER (2) It's been thoroughly refuted: www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar... (3) It doesn't even purport to address the independent confirmation & extension of the "hockey stick" in IPCC AR6

A new web tool has appeared recently that lists all DCFC sites in the US registered on the US Dept. of Energy's Alternative Fuel database. The site has some nice filter options that allows sorting by state and power level. Here is a search for W.Va. stations. dcfctracker.com?states=WV&mi...

For the past 25 years, China has been the primary driver of rising global carbon emissions. That could finally be changing. I dig into the numbers, the politics, and the implications in my latest Forbes article. www.forbes.com/sites/rrapie...

China’s Carbon Plateau: A Turning Point Or A Temporary Pause?
China’s carbon emissions have flattened for 18 months, raising the possibility that the world’s largest emitter is nearing its long-anticipated peak. Here’s what it means.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

I hope everyone on the other side of the Earth is enjoying the total lunar eclipse! Except for flat Earthers.

Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want.. Reversal: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

As a journalist and emerging public historian, I spent much of the past week reading through transcripts of oral histories made and collected by residents of Kerr County, Texas – where flash floods killed more than 100 people this month. There’s one recording that stood out to me. 🧵

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

Walmart announces they will be installing fast charging stations at thousands of Walmart and Sam's Club stores. This announcement, if accurate, could be a real game changer for West Virginia. youtu.be/_UIVp8Upvj8

This kind of thing happens via humans on the internet all the time but, like most issues with AI, it has taken something that was a problem before and turned it into an instant tidal wave of nonsense.

@wveaa.bsky.social Good news at Beckley Travel Plaza. DC America charging station will be ready soon. Looks to me all that is needed is final commissioning and landscaping/clean-up. The transformer is installed with a green inspector's tag, and all eight DC charge dispensers are installed.
