Analysis: How well have climate models projected global warming? - Carbon Brief Scientists have been making projections of future global warming using climate models of increasing complexity for the past four decades.

Multiple forecast studies by independent groups show that for decades various types of climate models have provided actionably accurate representations of the ongoing human-driven climate change.

WATCH: Senator Blunt Rochester Joins MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ to Discuss Her VACCINE Act - Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester “We need Republicans to stand up to this chaos and craziness…” Watch the full interview here.

Earth's atmosphere hasn't had this much CO2 in millions of years New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will continue to warp the environment.

When climate deniers argue that atmospheric CO₂ was higher in the past, it's idiotic.

Humans evolved to live in the current climate, and we built our society and infrastructure accordingly.

The atmosphere didn't have oxygen billions of years ago, and we certainly don't want to return to that.

The >$50 million spent on Trump’s DC military parade could fund public radio or any number of things that benefit humans.

It’s really hard to concentrate on climate because of things like this.

Hello, I think this is the link you meant to share (your link got cut off): skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

Big update to scienceimpacts.org: See the devastating impact of cancelled NIH grants across the country, and how losses at specific institutions ripple out to surrounding communities.

This is all in addition to the future losses that would result from cutting funds for indirect costs of research.

My thoughts on how journalists should report our time.

Tremendously powerful to be part of this event today on @Harvard campus. We read the names of thousands of children killed in #Gaza. As Harvard is lauded for protecting free speech and international students, we urge them not to forget the children of Gaza

Why are more than 300 people in the US still dying from COVID every week? Last month, an average of about 350 people died each week from COVID, according to data from the CDC. With available vaccines and treatments, why are people still dying?

Remember that 300/week is an official count; many deaths will be recorded as due to pneumonia or organ failure. The CW in previous years was to multiply the official # by 2.5 for a more accurate count.

Certainly interesting Wikipedia discussions will come of this.

Howard University students launched a solidarity encampment, DC and campus police threaten arrests.

It's a direct attack on peaceful protest and student power.

Howard students demand justice— they’re calling on community to mobilize and defend the encampment.

Show up. Speak out. Stand with them.

This is a great articulation of why we need to deplatform fascists/supremacists rather than debate them. Debate is ONLY productive when all involved care about finding the truth or improving solutions. When the right "debates" their goals are to spreading propaganda & undercutting other ideas.

Appreciate this, Jon. Agreed, and that's why a few of the organizers we profiled were community organizers – inlcuding Timpona and Chatterjee. Thanks for reading.

Another lesson we learned: Dissidents we spoke to said establishing a political home is necessary for nurturing non-cooperation.

Have a practice to help guard against loneliness/despair, and check in with others going through a similar experience.

“All power-holders, even the most ruthless and corrupt, rely on the consent and coöperation of ordinary people,” @mariajstephan.bsky.social, who co-authored a book with Chenoweth titled “Why Civil Resistance Works,” told us.

Take South Africa, where economic boycotts got leaders to the table.

Or Serbia: a student movement weakened the willingness of state security forces to use violence against them. At the protests' peak, Milošević ordered police to disperse the protesters, but police refused.

Successful campaigns weaken popular support for an authoritarian by encouraging sectors of society—e.g. biz leaders, religious institutions, unions, or military—to withdraw support from a corrupt or unjust regime. One by one, sectors defect, and, the leader weakens.
