Reminder for when some climate denier posts journalistic climate "predictions" while ignoring what the scientists have actually said.

Steele is a loudmouth coward.
Jim Steele, a board member of the CO2 Coalition, has publicly published what he represented to be my home address along with a call for people to gather there. I am pursuing this through law enforcement and the courts. I will not be responding to him directly.

This Eagle Scout agrees.
As an Eagle Scout, I'm appalled by Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) for cowering to Trump and Hegseth and agreeing to end DEI. The organization had finally taken long overdue steps to become more welcoming. Now they're regressing ass-backward - for a bigot. Embarrassing.

Probably for the best.
Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements โ€œcore value reforms.โ€ wapo.st/4teMc6z

The influence of exogenous factors characterizing ENSO, volcanic activity, & solar can be removed from the major GAT series (v. Foster & Rahmstorf 2011 dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326โ€ฆ), but only the noise is reduced, not the warming trend. Cf. the orig. series & the adj., 1st fig vs 2nd.

๐ŸšจTWEEPS: trump's crew in Texas just flipped 5 congressional seats red with partisan mid-decade maps. Prop 50 lets Californians vote YES to offset the GOP gain and block his takeover. Can we hit 1,000 RTs and replies with #YesOnProp50 to trend it? Please and thank you!๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
