Is there a single weather pattern that is not indicative of climate change/global warming? When it is unseasonably hot in the summer, it is a manifestation of climate change/global warming. When it is unseasonably cold in the winter, it is a manifestation of climate change/global
warming. When the weather is exhibiting large fluctuations, it is a manifestation of climate change/global warming. When the weather is exhibiting minimal fluctuations, it is a manifestation of climate change/global warming. This is starting to feel like a religion since
we know that religions do not adhere to the falsification principle. [And no, my pointing this out does not imply that I'm a climate change denier who attended last week's KKK rally in Arkansas.]

It is occupationally ableist to discriminate against people who are unwilling to work. They too deserve to live in beautiful houses even though they don’t wish to do anything productive. We should not reward people with income simply because they work. Everyone should receive an
equal income as a form of social justice. Plus we should retrofit all buildings and homes in the world with mini wind mills because fossil fuels discriminate against marginalized voices. Remember, climate change is racist and sexist. This is why I, Prof. Dr. Occasional Cortex,
am proposing a new plan that will create social justice, clean rivers, and the eradication of meanness. I, @AOC, remain frozen at age 5 where unicornia platitudes are so warm and fuzzy.

If a rapist serves his time in prison and is "rehabilitated", progressives argue that he must be given a second chance (because bruh, criminals deserve our progressive empathy). If an individual violates some progressive rule of virtuous conduct via an idiotic tweet, a poorly
worded statement, an obnoxious Halloween costume, etc. that brands him/her as a racist, there is no road to redemption, no forgiveness. No death penalty for repeat serial pedophiles but definitely death penalty for a "racist costume." It is extraordinary to see the extent to
which the axioms of progressive virtue are cognitively inconsistent. All of this is discussed in detail in my forthcoming book. This is a manifestation of what I long ago referred to as Ostrich Logic.

Dear ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hizballah, Haqqani Network, al-Nusra Front, & Al-Qa'ida, please watch the uplifting @gillette ad. Be the best versions of yourselves. Make the change. It is truly wonderful to see that a razor company is serving as
the catalyst for the eradication of a slew of reprehensible behaviors via a message of love, hope, and directed change. Human history, which has been shaped by endless rivers of blood, strife, and conflict, would have a utopian paradise of brotherly love had our ancestors been
exposed to the Gillette ad. Without the direction of @ProcterGamble, most men will continue to raise their sons to succumb to dangerous levels of toxic masculinity. But now, we have the solution. We see the light. The panacea is within our reach. Perhaps I'm being too

I am curious, only a weather hobbyist, but apply my auditing background in my search for FACTS. I was preparing some #climate info yesterday for posting this morning & was greeted by some other posts today which complement my looking at indicators of #climatechange exaggeration.
The world's weather stations, according to @TempGlobal, continue to show that the global climate is maintaining it's recent cooling trend. #climatechange #GlobalWarming

@TempGlobal Almost as if on cue, they posted their end of January monthly summary just minutes ago. #climatechange #GlobalWarming

One thing in the way of effective action on our #climate crisis (and our toxics crisis, our biodiversity crisis, our plastics in the ocean crisis, not to mention our violence, war, poverty, racism, & sexism crises) is a terrible misunderstanding of who/what we are.
Many people speak about this as a spiritual/moral crisis and I agree. But, the misunderstanding I want to talk about is at once simpler and more profound.
(Note - when I say 'we' I mean those of us acculturated into the western industrial growth mindset, which in evolutionarily relevant timescales has only been around for a fleeting instant. Humans haven't always thought this way, and not all humans alive today think this way.)

#climate twitter! I want to donate 10% of my 2019 income where it will do the most good to reduce emissions. Would love to hear your take on the most effective orgs (in this thread or private DM). Thanks! Ping @drvox @KHayhoe @Fisher_DanaR @AmyAHarder @LeehiYona @EricHolthaus
As I replied to @EricHolthaus- I'm aware of and inspired by @givingwhatwecan & @GiveWell work on global health/poverty; I personally want to support climate mitigation. I realize there's no one right answer, depends on theory of change etc; curious to hear different perspectives.
Esp. in climate arena where impact could be on different possible levels (eg X tons avoided from cookstoves vs Y tons #fossil CO2 kept in the ground vs systemic political or economic change)- curious to hear diverse range of theory of change or evidence of effectiveness.

 Dear Media, to avoid committing media malpractice, if you invite someone on your show to talk about #climate & they say:
"The climate has always changed."

You must immediately say "No, we understand all observed warming is now human caused, overwhelming any natural changes."
2/3
 If they say "It's cold out"
You must immediately say:
You're confusing "weather" and "climate." The world as a whole is warming. One cold day in one place doesn't disprove global climate science.
3/3
 If they say "The scientists are only in it for the money" you have two choices:

Say either "Scientists get paid far less than fossil fuel lobbyists & climate deniers, & whatever they're paid has no effect on the validity of the science."
Or call me for a "Fuck you" response.

Just returned from Bangkok, where nations made little progress towards finalising the Paris agreement on climate change that aims to limit global temperature rises over the next 80 years.

It was my first @UN #climate change rodeo and there were a few things I wasn't aware of
Under Paris, countries agreed to a fairly detailed set of promises to keep global temperature rises under 2C by 2100.

It was the first time all nations - both developed and developing economies - signed up to the same set of climate rules. But they weren't binding
Parties gave themselves in effect 3 years to come up with a text agreed by everyone, ratified, and translated into national law on a state-by-state basis. The idea is the accord isn't legally binding, but the rulebook it provides could be on a national level

Late last night veteran #climate journalist @Revkin asked some sharp questions about @Sierra_Magazine’s “The Case for Climate Reparations,” spurred by an appreciative post from NYC Chief Resilience Officer @dzarrilli. Here’s my response …
My essay is only concerned with climate change-related damages in the US spurred, as I argue, by US actors like the oil majors. I could’ve written about Peruvian villagers suing a German energy giant & melting glaciers in the Andes, but that’s beyond the scope of my article.
So I had to identify extreme weather events in the US. As NOAA has reported, 2017 was the most destructive year on record for “natural” disasters. See this tracker ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/summa…
