Brace yourself. One of the most brutal Arctic cold outbreaks on record is gathering momentum and moving through North America right now. Wind chills are hitting extremely dangerous levels of -70°F (-57°C) in Wyoming.

636 fossil fuel lobbyists are at #COP27 right now. 200 of them are on government badges. This industry is the top cause of the climate crisis. They do not want to solve it, they want to profit from it. We need a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Data shared exclusively with the BBC show large numbers of oil and gas lobbyists attending COP27.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵

Has anyone ever seen this graph in $*volume-terms (ideally per year and also with fossil energy)?
Will the commodity pyramid invert in value terms before the "party" ends? (Need to update it, this one is from 1998; the one quoted is in tonnes.) Reminder: rare earth minerals that are crucial for RE have a market size 200X smaller than the oil market. https://t.co/PEvUyKsQRI

Yesterday Lammenezan (640 m asl) in France rose to the extraordinary value of 30.3°C, setting a new monthly record. 10 October records were broken and highs exceeded 33°C in some locations. Also Benelux, Germany and Switzerland reached astonishing highs.@extremetemps

Klein detail: er zijn geen kunstwerken besmeurd. Alleen de glasplaten vóór die kunstwerken. Kunnen we even ophouden over mekkeren over kunstwerken die geen moment in gevaar zijn en het eens over de weerrecords die nu zo ongeveer wekelijks sneuvelen hebben?
Activisten die kunst besmeuren deugen niet. Het zijn fanaten voor wie het doel de middelen heiligt, alles in een poging aandacht te trekken voor hun 'heilige' zaak. Hun acties werken averechts en ze verspelen sympathie.

@BrankoMilan is rightly scathing: "Now, we are to believe that “friend-shoring” is somehow different. It is not. It just mercantilism under a new name and trade blocs in a different costume." Let’s go back to mercantilism and trade blocs!

We need to de-corporatize publishing and return to this model
Van Valen founded his own journal, Evolutionary Theory, in 1973, and used it partly to air grievances and seek revenge. It is an amazing repository of evolutionary insights and snark (plus an attack on journal publication fees of as much as $25!). https://t.co/LLmW2Q3mvX
