I can't believe it. Last week we put out "Misclassified" on HBO about how the NCAA has used the term "Student-athlete" for over 50 years to convince college players they aren't entitled to worker protections. The NLRB general counsel has just agreed, and cited the show on page 1.

For all those men who talk about women's sports not earning the same revenue as men's sports... It took the NCAA 50 years after Title IX to promote women's basketball the same way they were promoting the men. 50. Damn. Years. https://t.co/rpvNxz3R8D

FUN FACT-Zhang Shan, a woman, won the 1992 Olympic skeet shooting event, which was gender integrated—she beat men. But in the 1996 Olympics, the IOC gender-segregated the sport and didn’t offer a woman’s division: the defending Olympic champion wasn’t allowed to compete.

I think it's reasonable to say "let's not do anything that might render the Earth uninhabitable in 200 years." But I don't think it's meaningful to say "let's pursue policies that will maximize economic growth over the next 200 years." Because nobody knows what policies do that.

Roughly 500 Mt CO2/yr of BECCS (+ another 120 Mt CO2/yr of DAC) for negative emissions technologies. This is in line with what may be required to offset industry and transport. Coal+CCS (~ 200 GW) in 2060, though interestingly with larger capacities in 2035, implying retirement.
@east_winds -- Wed Sep 29 15:33:06 +0000 2021
A big result is the reliance on hydrogen from electrolysis (constituting 20% of electricity demand in 2060). This is highly speculative given uncertain demand growth in sectors such as transportation and industry, but SOEs are *very* interested in it. https://t.co/E4xccSdqQ3 https://t.co/x8GzZMmVuA

The AR6 took a novel (and I think improved) approach to future warming projections. Rather than simply using the CMIP6 mean, they used three different weighted CMIP6 estimates – with weights based model agreement with observed temperatures over the past few decades. https://t.co/3IS81yTInJ
@hausfath -- Tue Sep 28 20:42:45 +0000 2021
Right now most folks doing assessments would use the dashed lines, even though they are inconsistent with the best estimate of warming in the AR6. This is because there is currently not any gridded future warming projections available that are consistent with AR6 assessed warming

@micsolana @kimmaicutler We will see what happens with Diablo; but more broadly there are a lot of existing US nuclear plants at risk of closure. The design of CEPP distinctly disfavors a large year-over-year decline in clean energy generation (which shutting down nuclear plants tends to result in).
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:40:33 +0000 2021
@JuliusBusecke @pangeo_data @charlesstern Let me stick it up on GitHub for you.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:21 +0000 2021
We estimate that PG&E will be on the line for between $500 million to $1 billion in penalties depending on how fast they install clean energy in 2024 and 2025. They will also potentially be at risk for missing out on an additional $500 million in incentives.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:21 +0000 2021
So, if you are a utility planning to close existing nuclear plants, you better be in a position to replace 100% of their clean energy generation in the year they retire – rather than down the road – to avoid penalties under the CEPP. Utilities may want to reconsider accordingly.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:21 +0000 2021
Fully replacing Diablo with other clean generation in the year it is retired is a much more difficult task than replacing it over a longer period of time. Based on the CPUC, the clean firm gen and long-term storage intended to replace Diablo won’t be online until 2028 or later.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:20 +0000 2021
Because Diablo’s generation is baked into PG&E’s baseline, they will have to pay a penalty for any decline in clean energy percentage in the year in which each generating unit is retired, but are not eligible for any future clean generation incentives as they fill in the gap.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:20 +0000 2021
This is an important restriction: the ultimate replacement of Diablo’s generation with other clean energy sources will not result in any incentives — and will not reduce the penalty — unless it happens in the same year that Diablo is retired.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:20 +0000 2021
The magnitude of this penalty depends on the extent to which Diablo’s generation can be replaced by other clean generation in the year it retires.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:19 +0000 2021
PG&E is planning to decommission Diablo Canyon that is responsible for approximately half of their current clean energy in 2024 and 2025 (with one of the two generating units retiring in each year). This will very likely result in PG&E paying a penalty under the CEPP.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:19 +0000 2021
Finally, to avoid manipulation of the system, no incentives can be awarded for year-over-year increases in clean gen if it remains below baseline levels. This prevents utilities from removing existing clean gen and then being rewarded with incentives for filling the gap back in.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:19 +0000 2021
In addition, the CEPP includes a penalty for utilities that fail to achieve a 4 percentage point increase in clean generation. Specifically, utilities suffer a $40 per MWh penalty for the diff between their year-over-year increase in clean gen and the 4 percentage points target.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:18 +0000 2021
These $150 per MWh payments are given each year based on year-over-year changes. Effectively this means that each addition of clean generation gets a one-time payment, assuming the utility exceeds the minimum 4 percentage point increase in the year in which it is installed.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:18 +0000 2021
For example, if a utility had 20% of the electricity generation from clean sources in 2022, and increased that to 24% in 2023, they would be eligible for a payment of $150 per MWh for 2.5% (4% minus 1.5%) of their total generation.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:18 +0000 2021
CEPP awards utilities with a payment of $150 per MWh for an increase in year-over-year clean energy generation of over 1.5 percentage points if the total increase year-over-year exceeds 4 percentage points.
@hausfath -- Wed Sep 29 16:31:17 +0000 2021
If the proposed Clean Energy Performance Program becomes law it will severely penalize utilities for closing existing nuclear plants. We estimate that closing the Diablo Canyon plant would cost PG&E somewhere between $500 million and $1.5 billion: https://t.co/7mBlxZxClY

@hausfath I don’t mean to make too much of this. What you say is all true until it gets to “you have to time it to a given year”. You don’t. You have 3 years to do it without penalty. But you have to keep moving … so if you don’t achieve +4% in year x, you have until year x+1 to get to 8%

Important thread for anyone who may use CMIP6 for regional work. ~0ne-third of CMIP6 models run implausibly warm, so IPCC AR6 authors created *global* "assessed" temp projections to correct for this. But no guidance (yet) on correcting the CMIP6 output at *regional* scales. https://t.co/9iTx3qdjdY

Agree. AND - all those “short term” solutions on the left are far more likely to have benefits outside carbon, whereas DAC has fewer in exchange for longer term storage. Wouldn’t it be great to easily see the other benefits beside the carbon benefit? #corebenefitslabel https://t.co/blippAYLs3

@hausfath It says in the SPM that ocean heat uptake is also constrained. There is also a NCC paper about constraining past with future uptake, that makes me even more suspicious, given that almost all is taken up in the Southern Ocean & that all models don't represent obs in sea ice trends

@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:59:30 +0000 2021
@cochranereturns I didn't say it's not an issue. I said you are literally arguing with a mathematical function (demographic momentum). So I ask, again, what you intend to do about it.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:58:30 +0000 2021
@chrisvivagogy That's not what I'm talking about. The waste you intend to use is already spoken for, many times over.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:48:15 +0000 2021
@chrisvivagogy So the same "wastes" as everyone else is relying on to reduce their emissions. They've already been counted several hundred times over in the corporate and government net zero plans I've seen. But these are limited resources. Sorry to sound cynical, but this comes round and round
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:45:06 +0000 2021
@cochranereturns And now it's slowing towards a halt, the remaining growth driven by demographic momentum. Even 100% access to family planning (obvs a good thing) would reduce the remaining rate by only 1/4. So what's your solution to the existing population size? Genocide? Killing the firstborn?

It's as if in everything we do and say, we have to separate ourselves from everything else, to cut the cords that connect us to the world. But that's just my personal opinion. Otherwise known as my opinion.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:24:44 +0000 2021
Look at the language we use. "Individuals" is now widely used as a replacement for "people". We now attach the redundant prefix "personal" to almost everything. I mean, how can you have an impersonal friend? And how can you speak impersonally? ("Personally speaking ...")
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:20:16 +0000 2021
Mistaking complex systems for simple ones opens the way for an extreme individualism, that now governs political and economic thinking. People claim to be "self-made", to "go it alone", to "stand apart". But only because they have no understanding of the world that shaped them.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:14:35 +0000 2021
Because we profoundly misinterpret our situation, everything we do to improve it has perverse consequences.
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:12:55 +0000 2021
In other words, in public life we use the wrong measures in trying to understand the wonderful, fascinating, amazingly complex planet on which we live. And its living systems. And human society. A complex system is as different from a simple one as a river is from a swimming pool
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:08:13 +0000 2021
Complex systems are entirely different, in properties, functions and outcomes, to simple ones. The world's composed of interlocking complex systems. Yet we insist on discussing and analysing it as if it were a series of simple ones. It's like using kitchen scales to measure light
@GeorgeMonbiot -- Wed Sep 29 08:04:09 +0000 2021
The highly simplified model of the world projected by politics and the media makes moral idiots of us all. In science and mathematics, extraordinary advances have been made in the understanding of how complex systems work. But these are not reflected in public discussion.

@Peters_Glen -- Wed Sep 29 07:08:46 +0000 2021
@timinclimate @PeteMilne4 @KetanJ0 Agree. I would also add it is a bit different with activity levels and emissions, as emissions are a little more indirect. And some sort of emissions should be publicly disclosed anyway. I think this is really an accounting principle which has leaked over to emissions accounting.
@Peters_Glen -- Wed Sep 29 06:37:19 +0000 2021
@timinclimate @PeteMilne4 @KetanJ0 But, these sorts of things are usually explained in the footnotes of obscure reports.
@Peters_Glen -- Wed Sep 29 06:36:49 +0000 2021
@timinclimate @PeteMilne4 @KetanJ0 It would not surprise me if there are additional criteria too. If there are three companies, A, B, and C, and A is really small, then B and C can back calculate info from the other. So there is probably a size criteria in addition.
@Peters_Glen -- Wed Sep 29 06:35:35 +0000 2021
@timinclimate @PeteMilne4 @KetanJ0 I think it is a fairly common, in my two experiences (Norway, Australia). Not just to do with environment, but everything. Internal sharing of average wages across different positions for wage negotiations, being a recent example.
@Peters_Glen -- Tue Sep 28 21:30:10 +0000 2021
@KetanJ0 @timinclimate @PeteMilne4 Fewer than 3 operators, meaning operators can back calculate competitors activity level?
@PeteMilne4 -- Tue Sep 28 21:50:00 +0000 2021
@Peters_Glen @KetanJ0 @timinclimate Yes. I’m not sure if three is the fixed magic number, but the idea is that the data cannot be used to estimate the emissions of individual facilities. So WA has just two coal mines and no disclosure but NSW and QLD coal mining emissions are disclosed.

@KenCaldeira @sterndavidi As David noted, the total value in use can only be meaningfully calculated for non-essential goods and services.
@RichardTol -- Tue Sep 28 15:28:27 +0000 2021
@KenCaldeira @sterndavidi The change in the value in use is applied in the estimates of the costs of climate change and the costs of climate policy.
@RichardTol -- Tue Sep 28 15:26:40 +0000 2021
@KenCaldeira @sterndavidi However, you can approximate a change in the value in use by integrating under the demand curve. This would be exact under weak complementarity.
@RichardTol -- Tue Sep 28 15:24:02 +0000 2021
@KenCaldeira @sterndavidi Therefore, value in use can be known only up to an integration constant. And, because its unit is arbitrary, only up to an affine transformation.

Concept: what if your community newspaper was re-centered around a community dashboard? It addresses the ADD aspect of news judgment. Rather than random stories every day, your community would instead track metrics over time, like $ saved or time working out. And improve them.

@rmnth @SamHarrisOrg That is, web2 VCs will exit via M&A or public listing. Ballpark estimate is that M&A is at least 50%, maybe more of exits. But they are also fast exits, even if they are smaller amounts than public listings. You can determine exact % from crunchbase or cb insights.

One problem with the "big opening bid" theory is that people don't necessarily know what's "big". If the $3.5T bill gets cut down to $2.8T, was it gutted, or was $3.5T just a big opening bid?? https://t.co/L71CeVoG38

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:01:59 +0000 2021

Anyway, killing infrastructure will not hurt Manchin; he voted FOR the bill. Threatening to kill the bill will not compel Manchin to support reconciliation; other means of compulsion must be found. Vote for the infra bill because it's good, and because it's progressive. (end)

@puremalarkey They voted for the infra bill. If it dies they won't take the heat; they voted for it. The complex idea that its survival hinged on a deal about the reconciliation bill will not make it into the heads of American voters; it's far too complex.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:27:30 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:25:37 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:18:20 +0000 2021
@JimJamison84 Days or weeks are fine. But if that turns into months, it saps Biden's momentum, and that will be bad. Most worryingly, if Manchin calls progressives' bluff, and they actually vote DOWN the bill, that's a disaster.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:16:47 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey It's not fine; Manchin and Sinema are horrible. But can they be compelled by threatening the infra bill? If it goes down, they don't take any heat. They were fine not passing infra in 2019, and 2018, and 2017, etc. They'll be fine. This is not leverage.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:03:39 +0000 2021
@TheOmniZaddy I mean of course they need to do this, but threatening the infra bill is pointless; if it fails, Manchin and Sinema won't take the blame for its failure. So there's no leverage there. Instead, simply put them in the spotlight as the obstructionists they are.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:36 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey There's no goddamn leverage there. If the infrastructure bill fails, Manchin and Sinema won't be blamed; they voted for it.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:09 +0000 2021
@TWOMARD @BrandyFromTX Whether the infra bill passes will have no effect on their votes, unfortunately. If it fails to pass they won't take the blame.

@stan_keshi @Noahpinion You can think of nationhood as a: (1) blood and soil, or (b) shared ideals and shared purpose. In the first concept, ethnic demographics is integral for nationhood, in the other it isn’t. Which one are you for?

@mattyglesias @BrendanNyhan @hakeemjefferson @vbhoyo These appeals have been part of Dem politics for a long time; there have been universalizing trends that have taken what used to be understood as explicitly transactional politics and created unintended audiences for it. It's context collapse.

Huge contrast with Biden coming out for vaccine mandates which electrified some, pissed off others, but all in all got folks talking even though the actual policy steps he embraced were very modest. People care about Covid and the short-term economic situation, not this stuff.

This is not correct, individuals who become infected with COVID19 and recover exhibit highly variable levels of protective immunity vs reinfection. Some have protection, others very little or none. If you are infected and recovered, it’s still important for you to get vaccinated. https://t.co/PhTRGhvoX3
