We have to admit that Trump is mentally ill, and it could very well destroy this country. And we will have deserved it.

It’s amazing to see how many ex-#penguins are playing huge roles in the #NHL playoffs — Kapenen, Granlund, Rodrigues. Guentzel. I really don’t understand #NHL trading strategies at all. @penguins

Here's a beautiful chart from Luke Skinner in Science in 2012: Earth's climate sensitivity S as discerned from many climate events in the past. It gives S=2.6 C, on the low end of the range (2.5-4.0 C) from climate models (IPCC 6AR): davidappell.blogspot.com/2025/04/clim...

Can some journalist who gets to ask Trump questions ask why, if he thinks Musk is a genius, he doesn't listen to Musk, who knows and accepts the scientific consensus on global warming? Seems like journalists with access are not "allowed" (somehow) to ask questions like this. It's frustrating.

What are the chances they do the same thing with climate science, banning terms like “global warming” and “sea level rise” if your funding comes from the federal government. I don’t think it’s zero.
