A. It was George W. Bush's Republican EPA Secretary Christine Todd Whitman who first declared CO2 a pollutant to be regulated under the Clean Air Act.

thanks, very cool stuff (though I feel bad for Stein! 😆). Will forward to my daughter who is starting her 2nd year at Penn in comp sci and math (she was part of an NSF REU project this summer on representation theory).

"Newsbusters" is a project of the right-wing, plutocrat-funded
Media Research Center (www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Me...). It's a cog in the antiscience disinformation machine that @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and I expose in #ScienceUnderSiege (www.barnesandnoble.com/w/science-un...)

A point I have made numerous interviews!

no worries--really appreciate your support! ❤️🙂

Embarrassing for the authors. Designed to mislead, and it will damage their reputations and credibility.

To be fair, the reputation and credibility of those five individuals was already in tatters.

sorry Melody, I still don't get you. This is just a (relatively obscure) propaganda piece trying to discredit mainstream media (in this case, MSNBC and me). MSNBC didn't do anything wrong or inappropriate here.

Not sure I follow you. I'm simply conveying how amusing it is to these right wing front groups that mainstream media are still reporting the facts rather than their antiscience propaganda.

It’s the Environmental POLLUTION Agency. You know, pollution increases consumer choice. Or the Environmental CORRUPTION Agency. #climatecrisis

That new usual suspects (Curry, Spencer, Christy, McKitrick, Koonin) Trump EPA climate denier report? (www.energy.gov/sites/defaul...)?

I asked chatGPT to evaluate it. It had no trouble producing a succinct and convincing refutation:

"Newsbusters" is a right wing website linked to the plutocrat-funded "Media Research Center"

Great thread here by Ray Pierrehumbert (aka @climatebook.bsky.social) on the global carbon cycle and the determinants of atmospheric oxygen concentrations, and why fossil fuel burning is leading to the slow drop in oxygen (I discuss in #OurFragileMoment: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/our-fragil...)

Over on a thread launched by @davidho.bsky.social there has been some interesting discussion of oxygen, in part trying to make sense of sound bites like "half the oxygen we breather is made in the ocean." I won't repeat what went on over there, but I thought I'd amplify on a few aspects of ...

Would love to at some point!

Thanks my friend 🙂🙏

I agree. Alas they don’t let me write the headlines 😕

point well taken!

Sagan by and large got it right, but Mike Judge was even closer...
