Today in #Antarctic news... Why a duck? Fowl news from the frozen end of the earth. "The ancestor of modern ducks, geese, and other waterfowl ...survived the mass extinction that ended its nonavian cousins." @nature.com #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #science #palentology #fossils www.science.org/content/arti...

Fortunately, the decision tree allows them to take context into account (note the AND) - not defending any of the crap they are doing, but if the context is not DEIA, it won't be flagged - just noted as to why it is not flagged under the Exec Order. But all of this is awful and bigoted. #science

Can the police arrest Elon and his team for trespassing? Can SOMETHING be done to stop them from accessing systems that they have no right to access? Feds, DC, SOMEONE has to have authority to stop this blatant data theft. @rephuffman.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov #DOSOMETHING

Today in #Antarctic news... First, a question: has anyone heard what freezing of grants will do to NSF and other U.S. Antarctic programs? Now, news: As if we need something else to worry about. #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #science #volcano eos.org/research-spo...

Hey #greensky - #heatpump question for someone... are we best to leave the heat pump at a constant temp? Some sites say so and this is what daily power use now looks, but we like cooler home at night and when away. I just got the heat pump installed, and total power bill went up by >$100/month. 🔌💡

Proof my taste is impeccable: the car I loved most at the Mercedes museum was one of two made to these specs and the other sold for a record-setting 135 Million Euros. Sweet ride.

Today in #Antarctic news... Bravo! Congrats to the Italian-led Beyond EPICA drilling team for one of the deepest ice cores to date - 1.2 million years of insight. #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #scisky #greensky #climatesky #italy apnews.com/article/anta...

Kissed my gas furnace goodbye yesterday, greeted my new electric heat pump today. Nothing sweeter than seeing the gas capped off - still two gas appliances to go before we can get the service removed... but one step closer to decarbonizing my life. #greensky 🔌💡 #electrifyeverything #energytwitter

Today in #Antarctic news... Warning - whackadoodles heading South to "observe the behavior of the sun" to prove/disprove the world is flat conspiracy... pretty sure they won't be at the South Pole, so they may confirm their stupidity. #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #science?? 🙄😩 www.openpr.com/news/3779813...

Grateful for Marin’s open space and water district. Public utilities never looked so good.

Today in #Antarctic news... Another day, another meeting of scientists screaming into the void. How often can you shout "emergency" before the powers that be (corporate and political) take action? www.iflscience.com/emergency-wa... #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #science #climate

Hear me out: Before next admin dismantles government, POTUS should take a leaf from the misinformation world and rename things so they sound too good to destroy: EPA => American Farm Viability Authority NOAA => Insurance Premium Management Authority 🧵 #climatesky #greensky #government #efficiency

Today in #Antarctic news... Sedimentary, my dear Watson. @swais2c.bsky.social plans to melt a hole through ~580 m of the Ross Ice Shelf, pass through a 55 m ocean cavity, and use a custom drilling system to retrieve a sediment core from ~200m deep into the seabed. #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #science #climate

What happens to the #energy transition if geopolitics goes to he!l? New report from SP Global is worth a read. "Under the Discord scenario, geopolitical tensions worsen as key international relationships fracture, and the world becomes increasingly divided and prone to conflict...." #greensky 💡🔌

Today in #Antarctic news... I somehow missed this and have it on my list to read at the #library on the weekend (why, yes, I am too cheap to subscribe to every #news source I find interesting - though I subscribe to a number). #iceicebaby 🐧🇦🇶 #geopolitics #treaty www.economist.com/leaders/2024...
