@ologies.bsky.social - how about deep dive into the history of climate science?

Significant - and almost 200 years ago Eunice Foote published a note that was one of the earliest pieces of foundational science in this area. Amazingly she is still celebrated on a US government website!

Hell of a coincidence you just ran into each other on the street in Brooklyn!

Oh yes. She is great. Kind of funny to hear her use same anecdotes with you and @romanmars.bsky.social

So there is @maryroach.bsky.social popping up on no less than 3 podcasts in my feed - @ologies.bsky.social @99pi.org and @nprfreshair.bsky.social discussing her new book Replaceable You. Should listen to a couple & buy the book

I just did a simple search of names to see if what he said about you was online and got this ridiculous tidbit

Google AI . . .

And we find the center of the Venn diagram where @michaelemann.bsky.social and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce agree

Well said @pbump.com - I am still waiting to see any actual assertion of what law that poor Texas A&M prof broke - or even allegedly broke.

@espiers.bsky.social Have him on and use the phrase "magical sky friend" and see what happens

My grandmother, who was an early female grad of NYU law school, told me she was taking an Evidence class with him when he disappeared

@julianakaplan.bsky.social invokes the Turkish historical example in talking about Fed independence www.businessinsider.com/trump-fire-f...

The same historical precedent that apparently scarred @galendruke.bsky.social judging by his comments on the Gist with @milkepescs.bsky.social

Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."

It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

What makes this even crazier @whitehouse.senate.gov is that this doesn't even really benefit fossil fuel folks. Shakes confidence in the stability of leases and regulatory approvals that they need to rely on. Waging war on the economy, the workers, new energy production for literally no reason
