@DanCady @glehman11 @canncr @ClarkeMicah @GeraldKutney Cases like that become own goals for those bringing them. Though often they don’t realise it.
@DanCady @glehman11 @canncr @ClarkeMicah @GeraldKutney Yes. When courts have been asked to rule on climate change cases (eg on whether Gore went beyond the facts in An Inconvenient Truth”) they use the current IPCC reports as the basis of the facts. Not some blogger.
@mtnpoet @DanCady @25_cycle @GeraldKutney @EarthKeeper22 We are already controlling the climate with our emissions, we can control the emissions (by stopping the emissions). Why do you think we cannot control this?

@mtnpoet @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Here's how science works, it's never settled but without anything approaching a valid secondary hypothesis it can't really be debated. There's no current hypothesis that in any way can compete in all avenues with ACC, the physics is just too robust and the data supports it.
@jefftonna1 @gjcats @GeraldKutney @Tony__Heller Here is the trend, pointing to 1 "cold year" with "30% more extend" is totally pointless. It's melting like crazy. https://t.co/Yy4GapWuII
@EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney @mtnpoet Unfortunately in his case, he is making claims unsupported by any facts and he's drawing people in to the wrong side of the fight. The idea of climate scientists not paying attention to the sun is preposterous I got into climate science because of my professional solar research.
@cosaingalway @DanCady @glehman11 @canncr @ClarkeMicah @GeraldKutney Hitchens is a journalist with a degree in Philosophy and Politics. Doubtless fully trained in rhetorical arguments which he uses. Not in the scientific method which, if he was taught it at all, he clearly didn’t understand.
@mtnpoet @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Don't need, we have graphs. The sun isn't it... Scientists didn't "forget" the sun, they wouldn't be a scientist for long if they did.. 😋 https://t.co/3SDfiRqGCB
@GrahamKirk17 @GeraldKutney It's typical that a Denier would defend junk science that is non peer reviewed because they lack a Science education.
@ejwwest @DanCady @glehman11 @canncr @ClarkeMicah @GeraldKutney Perhaps Hitchens imagines himself as a modern Galileo, bravely challenging the prevailing dogma? No need for evidence or rational counter-argument of course. Obstinate contrarianism will suffice. https://t.co/L09YKuPmMz
@SlymasterSteven @mtnpoet @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney If he had even a modicum of information on climate science he would never have written any of that It is clear without any doubt he is lying through and through.
@mtnpoet @GeraldKutney @EarthKeeper22 Forgive me but the claim you just made is to be very gentle, not based on any reality. No climate scientist has ever "ignored the sun."
@DrwThereal @IanGMackie1 @GeraldKutney We will listen if you have any science or proof. We would like it very much for this science to be not correct, but I'm afraid nobody has disproved it yet. We cannot ignore science.
@mtnpoet @SlymasterSteven @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Then you need to explain what you think you know that every climate scientist, every national science academy, every climate research centre IN THE WORLD don’t know. https://t.co/kYCJNEeVCB https://t.co/R6MeENc2rx
@mtnpoet @25_cycle @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney The misunderstandings of science in your writing imply that at least one of those two has failed.

@cosaingalway @ejwwest @DanCady @GeraldKutney Yes, no one can be that deluded at this stage of the game.
@GeraldKutney Wuhahaha, honest! Some aren't impolite tho, they deny AGW in a polite way!, Haha! 🤓
@GeraldKutney What they believe (or are employed to promote) themselves is irrelevant. They are a small minority. What matters is their potential to sway others. The "undecided" is the target demographic. That's why we still need to counter with the most reliable scientific theories.

@GrahamKirk17 @GeraldKutney P.R. journals are those that appear in a master index of same. There are some journals, however, that claim to be P.R., but are not reliable because their review process doesn’t meet standards of quality, or in which the author can be published for a fee, w/o significant review
@jefftonna1 @GreatWhiteCon @GeraldKutney @Tony__Heller Interestingly, you cannot find a single lie by me, which proves you are the liar.
@GrahamKirk17 @GeraldKutney The bottom-line is that there are 10s of thousands of legitimate peer reviewed papers that affirm AGW; there are none that debunk it. I.e., your views have no scientific basis.
@cosaingalway @DanCady @glehman11 @canncr @ClarkeMicah @GeraldKutney Ignoring the fact that Galileo was a fully trained physical scientist of the day, had a long track record of experiment and research, and with his observations had clear evidence and a better explanation of the evidence that the orthodoxy couldn’t. https://t.co/wJuxOVLYda
@GeraldKutney Thanks for the referral/suggestion Gerald. Now following him.
@mtnpoet @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Wow just wow, not a single scientist has ever ignored the sun. I'm going to ask you a direct question and I hope you are honor bound to answer, why do you believe any scientist either paleoclimate or modern climate, ignores the sun can you show any evidence of this? https://t.co/ubFfH1ohin
@GrahamKirk17 @GeraldKutney Opinions don’t matter in Science. Only the findings of the peer reviewed research. Since Deniers reject the findings of scientific research, we gladly and confidently dismiss your rantings as useless
@mtnpoet @25_cycle @EarthKeeper22 @GeraldKutney Some conclusions of climate science are about as settled as any knowledge can be. Others are less well understood. There's nothing difficult to understand about this. Is it settled that emissions from fossil fuels heat the climate, causing significant harm? It absolutely is.
@jefftonna1 @GreatWhiteCon @GeraldKutney @Tony__Heller No. Tony is not saying that there is more sea ice. You are lying. And Tony is lying as well. He is even admitting it within his own tweet. But Tony knows, and is not going to defend himself. because he knows from the past he is going to lose any debate with me. #ClimateBrawl

@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz Jess, I can give you a huge list of wonderful, interesting potential guests for your podcast who haven’t promoted white supremacy, racist rhetoric and a divisive agenda that’s done a lot of damage to people and whole communities in Australia.
@JessRowe Ms Rowe, I'm surprised and so disappointed you chose to give a supportive platform to a woman who has built her career and made money out of anti-Asian & anti-Indigenous racism and anti-Muslim bigotry. There are so many other guests you could have interviewed. #JournalismMatters
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz Ms Rowe, instead of giving avowed right-wing racists like Hanson a platform to spew their poison, you might want to read this thread decrying the MSM's "both sides" nonsense by a former Chicago Tribune editor: https://t.co/pDOpEOPo9S
@JessRowe @PaulineHansonOz Jess, I have a lot of respect for you but this is not it. You’re platforming a racist.

@Duck___Hunter @jommy_tee @danielhurstbne The journalist has taken the story and fleshed it out and asked PM&C and done the writing work. However, as for the source of the story - I highly, highly doubt it. I will let Jommy answer that for himself.
Traditional media need to grapple with this problem - and they haven't. There is a whole ethical conversation to be had about how blue-tick media acknowledge how they first came by information. They will acknowledge each other's stories but ignore independent media. https://t.co/HyWFa2V8wC

The single most important thing we can do to end the pandemic is vaccinate people who haven't yet been vaccinated.
Vaccination gives you a head start against Covid by preparing your immune system to recognize and kill the virus if you're exposed.
The reason we're seeing alarming rates of hospitalizations and deaths in the US is because many people are still unvaccinated. Booster shots may help some people, but our biggest challenge is vaccinating those who haven't gotten their first shot. https://t.co/jXsrSjLWJH

Another theory is that it's finally an attempt to get rid of all excess capacity that's been built up in China. But power usage isn't a very good proxy for poor economic returns. Financial markets are supposed to do this, not across-the-board power cuts.
One theory is that it's a grand scheme to cause inflation in the US, by restricting exports. It might well cause inflation abroad, but the power cuts are hardly limited to the export sector. As I told my wife, it would be like lying down on the railroad tracks to derail a train.

The GOP doesn't want you to know this, but the debt ceiling is about past spending — not future spending. By not raising the debt ceiling, they're refusing to pay the bills they racked up under Trump (to the tune of $7 trillion). Does that sound like fiscal conservatism to you?
Ignore the bad-faith deficit hawks who claim we can’t afford the Build Back Better reconciliation bill. It costs $350 billion a year and will transform America. We give the Pentagon more than double that — and enable billionaires to dodge $163 billion in unpaid taxes every year.
