1. @ExtinctionR Having looked at some of your policies & grievances my advice to you as a scientist is to do your own research before you jump to conclusions; resist the temptation to go down a EnergyDeadEnd path before really appreciating after years of research life's realities

2. @ExtinctionR scenario has come about through a few scientists exaggerating #ClimateChange which is a natural phenomena that has occurred since Earth had an atmosphere; one of the variables keeping us warm is yes photosynthesising #TraceGas #CO2 as well as water vapour (clouds)

3. @ExtinctionR Earth's CO2 levels vary over time & currently only 0.041% or to make it sound larger 410ppm on average; at levels below 200ppm to 150ppm #photosynthesis ceases & all life relying on plants will die off.
Many other variables are involved with #ClimateChange e.g.Sun

4. @ExtinctionR ClimateModels are based on software of programmer(s) & most cannot hindcast (display historic); although reportedly one Russian model is the better. We've ran these as scientists & know their limitations. We don't believe models as gospel & always do #SanityChecks

5. @ExtinctionR ClimateModels being used as a PlanetB by some scientists but cannot not reality to be taken literally.
Say they are correct then what can be done?
Little, your #DeluxeLifestyle relies on using EnergyDense FossilFuels; not using FFs will cause many Deaths your aim?

6.@ExtinctionR So called 'renewables' (#SolarPanels/#WindTurbines) are themselves very #EnvironmentallyDamaging requiring FF's to Design, ClearLand, Build, Maintain & Decommission & require FF #BaseLoad backup.
They are responsible for deaths of large no.s of BirdsBats&Insects!

7. @ExtinctionR In reality no '#renewables '. Only the #Sun's photons & Wind (cause by uneven heating of Sun on variable land & sea mass) are, but extraction of that energy is not as easy as it appears. #Fusion is a long way away from providing more output than input; if ever?!

8. @ExtinctionR Why not go & do some useful efforts such as clean our beaches, forests, roadsides of the waste others chuck out, none of us want to live in a tip; but protesting about #ClimateChange which has always changed is respectively quite pointless InMyScientificOpinion

9. @ExtinctionR The terms being used such as #ClimateEmergency #ClimateDisruption &any other verbs are just used to ramp up emotional aspects & are not #ScienceMatters.
Some fellow scientist may promote this as it secures their jobs & makes them feel important - it's going to far

10. @ExtinctionR The COPs that the @IPCC_CH run are a #UN run #GravyTrain, why can't they do by Skype? What level of #CO2 or ave. Temp. do they want or stop at?: COP30, COP50 COP100 COP1000?
No,will keep going as long as it pays scientist these jollies; if so concerned Self-Fund!

11. @ExtinctionR Am not trying to tell you what to do, we live in a free society, unlike #China & other brutal regimes around the world, however I do think you need to study #Climate yourselves away from those with their own agendas & careers to maintain in £$€ biased education

12. @ExtinctionR Fortunately we studied in eduction times of how to not what to think & we have decades of work in Science such as #Physics, Engineering, #Astronomy etc., #Geology and Earth's history is vital; don't get caught in the AdHominen & Logical Fallacies #ScienceMatters.

13. @ExtinctionR education not 'brainwashing'!
Not many scientist truly understand the whole climatic system & we are learning all the time about all the variables, so when you hear or see the words SettledScience, be wary of who is promoting to try to end debate & secure funding

14. @ExtinctionR Of course nowadays any Science Presenter on TV/radio will tell you about the SettledScience BS, else they be hauled off, for example DrDavidBellamy. Any #ClimateCultDenier will not be allowed anywhere near a mic these days so your getting biased '#ScienceMatters'

15. @ExtinctionR Be aware of your own bias through mindfulness techniques; for example when meditating even during protests:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmat…

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c…

especially the most common use of #Strawman arguments/#AdHominen/#SlipperySlope

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

16. @ExtinctionR Examine your own protest motivations; makes you feel powerful, good, virtuous, righteous etc., but these may well be illusory & not your freewill, peer pressure may also be at play.
Ask why some new bread of #ClimateScientists & #newspapers side to Left or Right

17. @ExtinctionR Notice any Grammar & Spelling mistakes in trail ↑?
Well yes us scientists are fallible & can make some real big CockUps such as MartianCrashingSpaceShips by not checking Metric vs. imperial with other groups. How do you know ClimateGate 1, 2 ,3 & 4 have stopped?

18. @ExtinctionR There re many misnomers used even in #ScienceMatters:
BlackHoles (neither black nor holes), #ClimateChange code for Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) as ClimateAlwaysChanges, GreenHouseEffect (Concept Simplification 'similar' to a glass GreenHouse)

19. @ExtinctionR
Some scientists put fear in others try to compare Earth🌏 with Venus.
This is error as they are totally different planets.
#Venus Day is longer then its year & rotates slowly, nearer Sun, has 96%CO2 & atmosp. density 92 times Earth's (0.04%CO2)

#ScienceMatters

20. @ExtinctionR
If not for warming effect of “Greenhouse” gases, the EarthSurface would average below 0°F, which would prevent life as we know it; doesn’t matter whether 0.6°C or 0.8°C bc we are arguing ~0.2°C, which is less than 1% of the total warming due to Atmospheric “GHE

21. @ExtinctionR
Understand concept that Coal, OIl, Petrol burning is polluting w/o technology, btw CO2 is not a pollutant, it's ParticulateMatter, NOx, SOx.
All FF's can through new technology be burnt much cleaner these days.
WeHaveToUse FF's COG&Nuke+HE but S&W are #EnergyWeak

22. @ExtinctionR
Do you realise nature has been sequestering much of the CO2 that was in Earth's atmos. what we burn now is returning #CO2 back there in a CarbonCycles if you recall school?
You breath out 40,000ppm CO2 with each breath.
CO2 is used by #nature for #photosynthesis

23. @ExtinctionR
In summary CO2 not a problem & part of natural cycles, Humans are part of Life not outside nature; we'll evolve/devolve in unknown ways, maybe some #AsteroidDay already on longtimescales will be our real extinction event as was for most large dinosaurs.BeWell🌏🌳

24. @ExtinctionR This video on #WindTurbines is worthAwatch:

NASA JamesHansen concerned that he was OneOfThose helping set this #ClimateCult #DominoEffect of #UNintendedConsequences maybe incase it backfires &HeGetsBlamed

Paul Q Mays tweets: 'I have worked in the emergency power field for about 30 years and Solar has a niche where it makes sense.. Off grid cabin, isolated village, inner solar system sat's and yard lights.. Grid Scale is Idiotic... Wind is idiotic on any scale...'

26. @ExtinctionR cfact.org/2019/07/17/apo… = a few years ago huge number of astronauts, space engineers & mission control staff Co-Signed a StronglyWordedLetter To NASA (always think of @ProfBrianCox "Nasa!") asking SpaceAgencyToKnock OffClimateCampaigning&GetBack2HardSpaceScience.
