1. Tuesday 🧵PART 2. Before we talk about #ClimateChange, we might have a look at what happens to all the #Carbon coming off the bogs and into the rivers and lakes, i.e. the transport of terrestrials stores of Carbon to the sea. This is a great infographic from the @c_cascades Infographic showing how car...
2. Current estimates put this at about 5.1 Pg of C per year, although most people expect this to rise, considering the high uncertainty, ongoing anthropogenic impacts, and continual refinement of the science aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…
3. One of the parts of this carbon is Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) which is the brown colour that you see in bog streams – those of you with water supplies coming off bogs will be familiar with this kind of change

#Maps show #rainfall anomaly this year's monsoon (till August 16). Data: Satellite observation based Global Precip. Mission

Some parts of India (Odisha, Gujarat, West coast, NE India) have recorded lesser rainfall than the last 21 years

Few days of Aug & Sep still left for SWM
India Meteorological Department's map with ground observations look similar! Gujarat, Odisha, NE, West coast seem to be scoring lower numbers

1/ We already know that nature is relentless. But it is also true that #technology can help to alleviate the most serious consequences of its onslaught
2/ That's why we don't quite agree when this @dwnews article argues that early warning systems are not valid for some phenomena such as #flashfloods dw.com/en/opinion-ger…
3/ Satellite observations such as those of @CopernicusEMS provide invaluable information, but at Arantec we believe that #earlywarningsystems gain in efficiency when the most problematic rivers are also monitored in real time

Let's return to Jim Rauch's key 1993 Journal of Urban Economics paper that started all of the action in urban economics. His paper must have been motivated by Lucas and Romer's work on human capital spillovers.
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Some notation , person i in city j at time t. The researcher observes her wage, a vector of her demographics X and her city's average education level. Using OLS, estimate B2 ;

Wage_ijt = B1*X_it + B2*Education_jt + U_ijt

B2>0 ==> human capital beneficial local spillover
In the early 1990s as the credibility revolution (Angrist, Card, Katz, Krueger, Imbens) unfolded in applied micro, reasonable concerns could be made that the average human capital in a city is not an exogenous variable in a Mincer regression.

I had to readjust the colour scale to record the massive rains in #Nilgiris. Mukurthy - Avalanche - Upper Bhavani belt getting huge rains!

The directive to freeze UKR aid came in June.

6/5/19: Zelenskiy spoke with Kushner & Rick Perry at a dinner in Brussels.

Trump used Pence to tell Zelensky that U.S. aid was still being withheld while demanding more aggressive ‘action on corruption’
💣Triggered2💣

Rick Perry says he'll cooperate with Congress on Ukraine questions

The Ukrainians likely understood Pence’s ‘action on corruption’ code to include the inv’n of the Bidens.

Trump's erratic foreign policy is diminishing the US's standing on the world stage.
💣Triggered3💣

Pence’s NatSec advisor was on the 7/25 call & the VP should have had access to the transcript w/in hours

Trump’s use of Pence is part of a broader pattern of using both exec authority & high-ranking officials in his adm to advance his personal/political interests

“While driving to La Guardia ...Candidate Trump told Gates more releases of damaging info will be coming.”
🔥Subpoenas2🔥

The House argued that Mueller’s GJ materials can be useful for House Intel’s ongoing Ukraine inv’n — specifically, Trump pushing for prosecution of Ukrainians who testified against Manafort.

Trump insisted that the U.S. had nothing to do with the apparent launch pad explosion of an Iranian rocket.

Trump's denial also included what looked to be an aerial photograph of the launch site, which experts say was likely never meant for public view.

After significant #rainfall across #Northumberland, I have visited villages with high river levels in #Tynedale, and spoken with local Cllr's + @EnvAgency. Thankfully no threat to properties on this part of the #Tyne. Will be visiting the #RiverRede tomorrow.
The #Tyne is high -see #Hexham today - but a v long way off #StormDesmond levels, +flood defences doing a good job. #Kielder reservoir acting as a buffer, as no water down the spillway, thereby reducing by over 10% levels downriver. But pls be #FloodAware by the waters edge 2/
Lots of standing water on roads whether in Warden, Hexham, Corbridge or country lanes - please report these -
+ be v v careful when driving, walking on riverside footpaths + on no account tackle a ford 3/ Image

There is a Federal Inquiry of Trump’s Friend Thomas Barrack (Trump Inauguration Chair) Focused on Middle East Foreign Lobbying nytimes.com/2019/07/28/us/…
In May 2016, Paul Manafort, his campaign chairman, had a question about the speech’s contents for Thomas J. Barrack Jr., a top campaign fund-raiser and close friend of Mr. Trump.
nytimes.com/2019/07/28/us/…
Mr. Barrack was, in fact, coordinating the language in a draft of the speech with Persian Gulf contacts including Rashid al-Malik, an Emirati businessman who is close to the rulers of the United Arab Emirates.
