I live on the shores of #LakeSuperior on the #Keweenaw Peninsula in the #UpperPeninsula of #Michigan. This region is within Ojibwe Gichigami (“Ojibwa’s Great Sea”) homelands and ceded-territory, established by the TREATY OF 1842
I'm a professor of #environmental #chemistry with an interest in everything related to #climate, including molecular to global aspects of the carbon cycle, energy and social transitions, new and old technologies for sustainability, forests and biodiversity, local to international climate policy, and the systems thinking approaches we need to make progress.
Too much of a news and politics junkie than is healthy.
I share my homestead with a partner, a dog, several felines, two donkeys, plants, and occasional uninvited critters.

Was the moose heading into the grocery store or coming out?

Thank you for outlining why my eyes glaze and my brain hurts as I skim over that editorial page. But you forgot to mention the awesome Ann Telnaes, the only reason I look at that section.
(I do a double take every time in see the byline George Will; he was in the Minneapolis paper when I was in middle school, and I’m old.)

“Renewable energy critics love to point out that it takes 255 tons of coal to build a wind turbine,” Michael Thomas point out in a twitter thread. “But it would take a coal-fired power plant 154,494 tons of coal to generate as much electricity as a wind turbine produces over its entire life.”
If you have access to Twitter, read @curious_founder ’s whole thread. https://twitter.com/curious_founder/status/1631049994810671113

I was delighted to discover that this classic 1990 piece on clear scientific writing was reposted as a blog in 2018. I have referred to my dog eared pdf version many times. It demonstrates and explains practical hints for diagnosing and fixing obfuscation.

Skeptical Science founder John Cook turned out of bed in Melbourne Australia at 3a today to deliver testimony about climate misinformation on social media, to the EU Parliament's "Special Committee on foreign interference in all democratic processes in the European Union, including disinformation."
The session includes many experts, is a one-stop shop for information.
John's segment begins at 16:35:12.
@Ruth_Mottram Same sad situation here, overcast and snowing. 🙁
@StephenBHeard on my brief foray into #ChatGPT I asked it to give citations to some papers it claimed to be referring to. It produced titles of two real articles attached to completely wrong authors, journals, and even doi's. Which, of course, is just what you’d predict from the algorithms.
@caragraph @TheOldGuy the best way to track wind is with windy.com app or website.

YES!
I’m so proud of the long hard work by my fellow Michiganders to fix #gerrymandering, fight voter suppression, support reproductive rights, and give us the state government voters want. #gretchenwhitmer
My neighbors here the far north, ultra red Upper Peninsula haven’t got the memo yet. I’m hoping they’ll remember their community-minded roots before 2024 so we can finally boot our do-nothing insurrectionist #MI01 rep.

In a logical world some of those red dots would make the obvious connection and turn blue.
@ct_bergstrom Begs the question: when ChatGPT says “we” who does it mean?

Yet another reason to drive an EV.
No catalytic converter.
Indeed, no exhaust system at all.
@revkin Was there a recent ice layer coating in that forest? Around here ice sometimes breaks small branch tips like that.

We (researchers at University of Colorado Boulder, including @bkeegan ) are conducting a research study about social media platform migration. Right now we are looking for help *piloting* a survey about experiences with joining Mastodon and/or leaving (or choosing not to leave) Twitter.
If you would be willing to help with a pilot by filling out a most open-answer questionnaire, let me know and I will DM more details!
@hasmis
same here.
April in February is really disconcerting. Freezing rain should be restricted to below 46N.

Isn’t Wales the country with a minister in charge of looking out for the interests of future citizens?
This decision sounds like one that will greatly improve the lives of future Wales residents, with decreased air pollution, traffic deaths, and climate impacts.
