Remember, same people who don't believe tons of research they've never read on climate change & evolution DO believe in:
1. Secret societies
2. Deep states
4. Intel agencies lie.
3. Soros conspiracies
4. Agenda 21 to kill us
5. Obama was Muslim
6. Trump's a religious Christian.
7. Pizzagate
8. Clinton gave military stand down order in Benghazi (which SoS couldn't do)
9. Bill Clinton murdered kids
10. Hillary Clinton murdered Vince Foster
11. Jade Helm (military exercise) was attempt by Obama to take over Texas
12. Obamacare death panels.....
13. FEMA concentration camps
14.Common Core is a communist plot to turn children gay
15. Unemployment #s under Obama were lies, but the same baseline numbers are true under Trump.
16. The New World Order
17. Obama born in Kenya
...and the list goes on and on.
...so long as we have people who are fed this nonsense by conservative "news" organizations to win viewers and politicians who are either nuts or lying to win votes, they are endangering America. GOP is creating a nation of paranoid lunatics. A country like that cannot survive.

1. Nothing more thoroughly demonstrates the ignorance and/or duplicity of the Trump White House and Trump family than their attempt by @PressSec and @DonaldJTrumpJr to use reasoning that wouldn’t be accepted by a third grader to proclaim that @Acosta has shown walls work....
2....what is most jaw-dropping is the possibility that Sarah sanders and @DonaldJTrumpJr are actually so stupid that they think their argument makes sense. But I fear it is more that they know they can tell any lie and believe that Cult45 does not have the smarts to know....
3...if you don’t know the story: @acosta tweeted that he saw some fencing on the border and all was calm in the area. @PressSec and @DonaldJTrumpJr - arguing with such stupidity that no one could have predicted it - proclaimed this was a “self-own” that proved walls work....

1. This may seem a minor issue, but I hate people wrecked unjustifiably. So, I am coming to the defense of @JeremyKappell, meteorologist at WHEC in Rochester. As someone who frequently flubs speech through word transposition, I recognize Kappell was fired for a spoonerism....
2...that spoonerism - where often the first letters of adjacent words are flipped - came off terribly and was instantly corrected by Kappell. In referring to a Rochester park, Kappell said "Martin Luther Coon...King Junior Park." The timing between the offensive word and the...
3...correction was about half a second. Now, there are two choices of what happened here. One is Kappell decided to destroy his life for no reason, uttered this phrase, instantly changed his mind and corrected it.

Or, he experienced a spoonerism....

1. Still having no idea about the law or his powers as president, Trump is now declaring that the wall will not be concrete, but steel.

This is utterly illegal, for obvious reasons. Six companies won bids for wall prototypes. They have been built and analyzed. The decision on...
2...which will be chosen must be awarded by following THE LAW on federal contracting, not based on the president unilaterally declaring what material will be used for building. By declaring it will be steel, Trump has (knowingly? inadvertently?) declared that the winner of the...
3...bidding is KWR Construction, which built the only one made solely of steel - which was also the most expensive one, at almost half-a-million for a small prototype. Why has Trump selected the only steel one, rather than one of the four of concrete? Same reason he chose....

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

1. The arguments in this @newrepublic article by @emorwee that #climate is siloed in the press, that the press should tie every extreme weather/disaster event to #climate simply don't match up to the data. #envcomm #scicomm newrepublic.com/article/150124…
2. Staffers working at @mediamatters + @climateprogress (where @emorwee got her start) have long manufactured this claim + driving a self-serving narrative on the Left that the news media is failing in its coverage of climate change.
3. But this narrative & its embrace by those on the Left reflects a classic hostile media effect. As @lfeldman17 reviews the most partisan on an issue see news coverage as biased to their position even when it may actually be favorable. oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/o… #scicomm #envcomm

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…

Good questions @RedsforNamesake. If confronting #climate change is your priority, it is imperative to ramp up carbon-free energy asap.

1. NJ will now ramp up renewable energy from 13% in 2017 and 20% by 2020 under old RPS to 35% by 2025 & 50% by 2030. Impressive leadership.
2. To ensure that this new clean energy replaces fossil fuels and contributes to #climate mitigation goals, NJ's new laws also make payments to ensure the continued operation of 3 South Jersey nuclear reactors that currently supply 31% of the state's electricity consumption.
2. Cont.: That measure is essential and ensures that nearly all of the new clean energy growth over the next 12 years builds on top of the fossil-free foundation provided by the state's existing nuclear plants.

Short thread.
1. I didn't realize how badly Trump has eviscerated access to federal #climate data, so I went and looked at the USGS site.
2. In December, there were 5,932 climate science items linked there (9 were just pictures). Today there are 416 and 292 are just pictures.
3. In December 2016, 320 of those items were links to #climate data. Today, 0 links to data. 5,271 were web links. Now, 0 web links.
