Americans' views on U.S. fossil fuel production Percent who strongly/somewhat support the federal government doing each of the following. Expanding U.S. oil and gas production Overall 42% Dem 26% Repub 64% Expanding U.S. natural gas exports Overall 38% Dem 30% Repub 50% Auctioning off more public land for oil drilling Overall 18% Dem 9% Repub 30% Source: EPIC/AP-NORC Public Opinion Polling

Reactionary centrists (like @mattyglesias.bsky.social with his “Big-Ass Truck Energy”) always say that Democrats need to support expanding fossil fuels because it’s popular.

They 👏 are 👏 wrong.👏

The U of Chicago shows, again, that the majority of Americans OPPOSE expanding fossil fuels.

Cool season - as defined by sub-70 degree AMs - is shrinking in the Tampa Bay Area. We now have ~2 months less of AMs below 70F than we did decades ago! Due both to greenhouse warming and, in cities, urban heat island. That's today's Berardelli Bonus. Tks @climatecentral.org for the GFX help!

Climate critics try to discredit IPCC author for linking disasters to global warming Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

More attacks on climate scientists for doing what? Climate science.

How a major DOE report hides the whole truth on climate change

Here's a good article about the DOE climate report.

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell ‘infested with bedbugs’ Exclusive: Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian. According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags are unknown. Continue reading...

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell ‘infested with bedbugs’

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

Notorious ex–weapons factory will lock up nuclear waste in glass—if the White House lets it Hanford vitrification plant set to open but some fear Trump officials are pushing for a cheaper alternative

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

Charlie Kirk's extremism was fossil fueled Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.

Climate activists often debate whether they should get involved in larger movements for justice, or whether it’s better to just “stay in their lane” of climate.

The opposition to climate action is not having that debate.

Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com is REALLY good tonight, especially the long conversation with @mariaressa.bsky.social, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, who is blunt, brilliant and inspiring. Everyone should watch it. youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

I've seen both, H1B and J1 visas for postdocs.

that seems to be a more difficult task

It also provides the link for the information on the exact number of pages. E.g. for WG1 it is 2391 pp, which is available here:
www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

I know the author numbers are correct and the numbers for the citations and pages are reasonable, don't you think?

The response includes links like this where you can check the accuracy. Indeed, ChatGPT's response that 234 authors contributed to the report from WG1 is correct.
www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

I think it can count authors, citations and page numbers.

AR6 had ~9000 pages, DOE report ~140.
AR6 had ~50,000 references cited, the DOE report had ~350.

This tells you something about how comprehensive they are and how diverse the input used was.

I've asked ChatGPT to compare the most recent reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with the recent DOE report on climate in terms of numbers of authors, pages, and citations. Here is the result: IPCC's 6th Assessment Report (AR6) had 721 authors. DOE report had 5.

A new report by the prestigious US National Academy of Sciences concludes that the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding was accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence:

"(5) Continued emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities will lead to more climate
changes in the United States, with the severity of expected change increasing with every ton
of greenhouse gases emitted."

"(4) Changes in climate resulting from human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases harm
the welfare of people in the United States."

"(3) Human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases and resulting climate change harm the
health of people in the United States."

"(2) Improved observations confirm unequivocally that greenhouse gas emissions are
warming Earth’s surface and changing Earth’s climate."

"(1) Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are increasing the concentration of
these gases in the atmosphere."

"Overarching Conclusion: EPA’s 2009 finding that the human-caused emissions of
greenhouse gases threaten human health and welfare was accurate, has stood the test of
time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence."

"This overarching conclusion is supported by the following five conclusions:"
