must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Greece is turning its back on coal and replacing it with solar and wind. Today's data insight: ourworldindata.org/data-insight... Data from @ember-energy.org.

how it started / how it's going

From #Arctic ti #Florida! The #Copernicus #Sentinel5p Aerosol map of May 31st shows the huge plume of smoke from the #canadafires. #Airquality #Canada #ClimateEmergency

Gold standard science

Accurate

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: Not necessary because conversion losses don’t need to be replaced. 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. knowledge.energyinst.org/new-energy-w...

Scientists were able to create a bespoke treatment for KJ Muldoon’s rare genetic disorder within six months. It could be a blueprint for potentially life-saving, gene-editing Crispr therapies. www.wired.com/story/a-baby...

Sta piovendo di più, ma in maniera irregolare e violenta, sul Sahel e su parte dell'Arabia Saudita e dell'Oman. Ma questo è ampiamente in linea con il riscaldamento globale che provoca un innalzamento dell'ITCZ.

Why are solar panels and batteries from China so cheap? High levels of automation, cheap energy, and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. It's less about low salaries than many people think. My latest Substack: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/china-chea...

A reminder that almost EVERY time a human induced climate change denier posts about Antarctic or Greenland ice sheets, they post SURFACE balance instead of TOTAL mass balance to confuse you. Total is what counts overall. Left image is surface SMB, Right is Total. #SciComms

A lot of people are on to ethanol, but what's often missed is that we are using more than another 25M acres for soy biodiesel.

Watch what happens. Changes in the age of #Arctic sea ice during springtime... Note that younger sea ice is usually thinner and more vulnerable to melting. Data from doi.org/10.5067/UTAV...

Large volcanic eruptions have a major climate cooling effect. But the eruptions we've had in the past 170 years have been relatively mild compared to those in the more distant past. Here are climate model simulations of major eruptions since 1750 using FaIR:
