Cop26 climate talks will not fulfil aims of Paris agreement, key players warn | Climate crisis | The Guardian @fionaharvey reports. Some expectations management here. https://t.co/1h4wvkAYD4
I've read two stories in recent days that suggested time's running too tight to take bold bets on climate tech – that we have to focus all our investments on things we know will work.
And that's just fundamentally wrong, wrongheaded – & a terrible way for humans to ever think.
This statistic - centenarian B-52s will still be flying in 2051 - says so much about our priorities. More from @PopMech: https://t.co/DBxEKtJc5Q https://t.co/8Jzr3STkiA https://t.co/0txO8qAEsB

Well this is something! American views about climate change have shifted significantly in the past 6 months, according to @YaleClimateComm. https://t.co/RZbwygagQx

Brewing #COP26 fights over rich countries' failed pledge of $100 billion/year for poor countries distract from a much more profound misallocation of wealth facing climate risk. @IlanKelman https://t.co/x6mjQFsPc3

@ProfStrachan @MichaelEMann @FT @mckinseyorg @public_affairs @scribepub Can't recommend The New Climate War highly enough because it documents the strategic & perfidious ploys by polluters to pollute people's perception.

@MichaelEMann Thanks for the hard work, Professor.
It has impact and makes a difference.
@MichaelEMann @JoeManchinWV @SenatorSinema Thank you, Dr. Mann, for your willingness to weigh in on political issues.
IMHO, rogue senators like Manchin & Sinema are negatively impacting climate action and threaten our survival.
@MichaelEMann @MSNBC @mitchellreports @JoeManchinWV @SenatorSinema Manchin and Sinema may be the destroyers of our future.
@JoanSalwen @JohnFehlauer @KHayhoe @MichaelEMann The cost of minimizing climate change is far lower than the cost of ignoring it. Some people are bearing the cost already, like paying for endless firefighting on the West Coast. Too many people don't have the imagination to realize it's not just someone else's problem.

@RanditheReader @MichaelEMann I agree with that. The difference between doom and urgency, is agency. When it comes to #ClimateCrisis There is both urgency and agency. There is still time to avoid catastrophic climate change. A rapid transition to a net-zero world is the safest path forward. #NewClimateWar

Also, if I was a journalist / engaged member of civil society and not someone who has quit journalism in favor of the nihilism and ennui that comes with packing, I would maybe file some FOIA's to see how the Deblasio weather deal happened.

@KendraWrites We don’t pay people to pack but absolutely pay them to move us. It’s morally better than me losing my shit on my husband and kids
If someone does this and does a great story about it because it's juice please, please tell me.
Separately, I'm literally sitting here wondering about the morality of paying people to pack for you.
There's been a big push to privatize weather forecasting (it's why Trump repeatedly tried/ successfully put ex- private weather company heads in charge of NOAA). Experts basically all agree this is dangerous. https://t.co/ySavcYv9Dj
@mamabook @KendraWrites Yea!! In my geriatrician reporting days, the folks I spoke with LOVED working patients who had complex conditions — and I’m sure it’s super rewarding to improve those individuals’ lives! But it must also be nice to *not* have to deliver bad news or make a plan of care
A few weeks ago, I accidentally booked a physical with a new doc who is an internist...who focuses on geriatrics. Hearing him excitedly read my blood work back to me is the confidence boost I didn't know I needed.
@AylinGraves @KendraWrites @DonaldHTaylor @susie_dent In Romanian, portocala = orange (fruit), portocaliu = orange (color.) Similar in modern Greek. (Probably came to Romanian through Turkish, I would think. ) Does "turuncu" mean anything else in Turkish? (like a spice or anything)
@KendraWrites But it won't be as difficult for someone who has no relationship with the stuff, I don't think. When my mom died, I paid the movers to pack up her apartment as well and I think that was wise.
@KendraWrites It's always morally neutral to pay people to do things you can do yourself, provided you pay them what you would wish to be paid for the same work.
You know how I'm always going on about the privatization of just about everything in the US? Well, I found another sector being privatized. https://t.co/n6jGvDuevZ

I'm being very lazy with my tweets cause I'm swamped with packing and work (took a break to rest my hip) but here's some reading:
https://t.co/sZU1pT4L7r
4. What is their responsibility to the public? How do we hold them accountable? What happens if public and private predictions diverge? If we go with the private one and it's wrong what happens? Who deals with the consequences?
3. some countries who don't have the money for great weather data themselves depend on the US for weather data (they interpret it themselves). Same countries that are at risk from climate change they hardly caused. What happens if they lose that data?
2. there's real fear it will lead to an erosion of federal weather forecasting - because public money will head more towards private entities - meaning only places/ people who pay for private weather will have access to it.
1. because accurate weather forecasting paid for with taxpayer dollars is why hurricanes have gotten less deadly despite more people being in harms way.
@KendraWrites @katherineefoley My 1st visit to an ophthalmologist “I wish all my patients were like you”. Lol a very unexpected compliment but I’ll take it (from a doctor who I’m sure also mostly sees more advanced age patients).

@KendraWrites Not only this, but no private company would take on the liability of providing authoritative watches and warnings for severe weather events. That's why they all pass along NWS warnings instead of trying to create another revenue stream
@KendraWrites @_kaitlingrady Geez, I'm on the other side of the world, only mildly interested in sheriff's weather, but knew Ida was going to wreack havoc along its way
You don't even need a specialist, you just need to watch the weather reports
this is about keeping people at work whether or not the conditions are safe. the whole business model here is to make their product, weather reports, more desirable to the forces of capital. this means downplaying danger to keep workers working, not greater accuracy https://t.co/EypjuufQCq
it’s frustrating when the same people complaining about an issue or story or viewpoint not getting covered don’t return calls or emails, and flake on interviews. Which happens more than you might think! It’s not *always* that journalists haven’t tried to get a story

@CoreyRobin And I would add this conjecture (not to go on forever): in our current circumstance, in which we DO seem to have sorted by personality (on top of everything else), dispositional explanations will have more purchase than they might in previous, less sorted, more mixed-up eras.
@CoreyRobin Yes. As Chris Hayes said, all our divisions have become one big division. We have sorted not just by income & class & color & ideology, but even by personality & character. What I wonder about is *why* -- a contingent series of developments, or some deeper logic of history?
@mousecheckdown @jwilcox79 But ... they are, though. They're telling themselves a different story, some bullshit about freedom, because no one *self-conceives* as a selfish jerk, but that's still what they are, in fact, doing.
@CoreyRobin Fair enough. I guess I think understanding dispositions can help illuminate connections & outcomes that are underdetermined by social/political structures -- of course not a substitute, but an important complement. I doubt I could defend that view coherently on twitter tho!
@KarlAlexPauls @Philip_D_Ord I'm a little defensive about people swarming to nitpick this study without having read it. Apologies if I was tetchy.
Still not clear what you're asking, though. The study did look at ride-sharing (it's better!) & public transit (even better!).
@KarlAlexPauls @Philip_D_Ord You have your personal experience. On the other hand, a study found no evidence of a reduction in vehicle purchases when Uber & Lyft become common. Therefore ... what, exactly?
@mousecheckdown @jwilcox79 There is no remotely reasonable or objective assessment of constraints on freedom in America that would put wearing masks in public places even in the top 50.
@dhanuraashi I don't understand. "if someone chooses to forego ownership and use an occasional ridesharing service, that seems okay." -- who said, or would say, otherwise?
@jwilcox79 That's not what anyone said. What they said was, the defensiveness & intensity of the too-many-masks crowd presents like people overcompensating for nagging worries about their *own* moral character, whether they're doing enough.
@KarlAlexPauls @Philip_D_Ord Everything you mentioned is directly addressed in both the study & my piece about it.
Is there some kind of race on to have the fastest reaction? I don't get it.
@corsent @jwilcox79 But what if we OVER-protect your vulnerable children, Tony? Did you ever think about that?!

Dudes. Why are they like this?
@TomPepinsky I really don't get why this is an either-or.
@CoreyRobin I don't get this. The idea that dispositions are *determinative* of political outcomes is obviously wrong, but it's also kind of a strawman. Behavior is the result of the interplay of dispositions & social structures. Understanding the first half of that seems useful to me.
@RottenInDenmark Consider whether dunking on activists might be the primary goal, the rest of it reverse-engineered to reach that goal.

@ClimateHuman Oh, they definitely are. I am just looking for the best short, pithy, (bonus points for humorous) response **if there are others listening** so those others can see how ridiculous such claims are.
"Indigenous communities have long lived with fire and used it to cultivate healthy ecosystems. Prescribed and cultural burning are important tools in mitigating catastrophic fire and simultaneously aiding forest health."
"Building a more successful coexistence with fire includes figuring out how to work cooperatively. This includes broader conversations about environmental knowledge, what constitutes it and how best it can be shared..."

An Idaho pathologist is claiming the COVID vaccines cause cancer. Cancer is not 1 disease. It's many diseases that share a common endpoint of abnormal cell replication. There are lots of causes: genetics, environment, viruses. But 1 thing that doesn't cause cancer--vaccines. 1/

So how does Cole claim the COVID vaccines cause cancer? He does a bunch of handwaving about T cells but presents no data. He tells an anecdote of cancers developing 6 wks after the vaccine. As a pathologist he knows that cancer was already developing wks or months before that 3/

@MelissaJPeltier Canada 🇨🇦 allows for mixing mRNA for the first two doses, unclear on mixing boosters. But it’s good enough for Canada…
5) to be fair— CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), many panelists seemed to be in favor of "heterologous boosting." — but they just pondered it, no action taken yet. Too much talk. Too little action. https://t.co/5S3VC5lMnK
4) "Two AstraZeneca shots are weaker than anything containing mRNA," he said. "It's weaker than one AstraZeneca plus an mRNA or two mRNA shots."
3) Two trials from across the pond -- one in Spain (CombiVacs) and one in England (Com-COV) -- as well as smaller cohort studies, "consistently show that you get a stronger antibody response when you give AstraZeneca followed by one of the mRNA vaccines," Moore said.

Evaporative demand has propelled almost half of California into “exceptional #drought.”
It causes faster drying soils and vegetation, making fuels more dangerously combustible during the summer and fall, the peak of California’s fire season.

@CT_Bergstrom Carl, a hike to Mtn tops, eg Spruce Peak (or msg any further S as well) may get you views of warblers. Spruce and also Elmore Mtn have for towers giving exclnt treetop views.

@CT_Bergstrom The Shawangunk Grasslands is an amazing place. You can’t even believe it exists when you go there.
@CT_Bergstrom Every time we start to set a measurement up I try to figure out how I would game it. It’s amazing to me that more people don’t do that.

@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA 3. I don't understand this question.
4. My education tells me to refer to multiple studies that have shown that vaccination of recovered COVID-19 patients acts like a booster and induces potent, likely protective neutralizing antibody responses comparable to full vaccination.
@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA 2. SARS-CoV-2 mutates less than influenza. Also there are many influenza strains and subtypes that all contain different variants. For SARS-CoV-2 there is only 1 virus with variants. It is less diverse than influenza, can't reassort like flu, and has a lower mutation rate.
@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA 1. The goal of vaccination is reduction and (if enough are vaccinated) elimination of disease burden. The goal of eradication is elimination of the virus. Eradication is not possible for most viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, because they can infect other species.
@HHIDavidson @ClaireBerlinski @DSteelmanLaw @mileskimball @dandolfa Breakthrough cases happen with all vaccines. They are not developed to prevent infection, but to prevent disease. And a number of studies have been sequencing breakthrough cases. They are caused by delta, which doesn't have the mutations most associated with immune evasion.
@HHIDavidson @ClaireBerlinski @DSteelmanLaw @mileskimball @dandolfa Nobody is saying we shouldn't also apply other interventions. But reaching global population immunity is the only sustainable way to end the pandemic. See: every other vaccine-preventable virus.
@HHIDavidson @ClaireBerlinski @DSteelmanLaw @mileskimball @dandolfa Scientists are often wrong. Falsifying hypotheses through experimental testing is a cornerstone of the scientific method.
But the thing is, all the experimental evidence to date falsifies your hypothesis that the virus is mutating to the point that vaccines don't work.
@abmakulec I am so, so sorry for your heartbreaking loss.
@TheRealDarinZ @SeattleJay3 @stevekylerNBA "Every research" has not shown that. Endemicity will not be the result of mutation but of insufficient population immunity. And there's no "overwhelming research" showing that vaccines (or anything else) makes the virus "mutate faster." There is in fact zero research showing that

To be clear, this might not matter if the demand for H2 exceeds green H2 production capacities (there's only so much integrated RE-electrolysis you can build). And with the gas prices that Asia & Europe are willing top pay (>$20), perhaps $5 blue H2 will find its niche.
Even if you can address the #methane leakage issue with natural gas (most likely, yes), success of blue H2 will largely rest on the cheap availability of gas (~$2-3).
Key question is: will the low gas prices of the past 5 years last or are we in a new world of $4+ gas? https://t.co/8V0U0eShYe

@EricTopol There was almost no politicization of vaccination; all politicians (both in power and opposition) supported the vaccination process. Also, although there are a few crazy anti-vaxers, it is a really very very small number.

@GabeFilippelli @Prof_FSultana That used to be the case, but fortunately has changed in the last few years. It’s also a small percentage, but it makes a big difference. And startup funds don’t expire so people can use those for a long time.
@GabeFilippelli @Prof_FSultana @brendanshanahan @alwaystheself @profjoshlong @TheTattooedProf @historianess @PaigeWestNYC I should’ve added that, in IUB’s College of Arts and Sciences, this is one of the few ways to have funds added to faculty research accounts and those are super valuable because there’s no standardized funding for travel, professional development, etc.
