Nothing would do more to reduce fuel consumption & traffic than to get people to accelerate faster, pay attention & avoid using brakes. After that, replace speed limits with adjustable Target Speeds. And, get rid of unnecessary stop signs❕ 🧵👍 #AntiFragileEnergy

@petrtalla @TomANelson As an IPCC peer reviewer for the fourth assessment report, I requested that they include information on changes in treeline altitude. They refused.

The biggest problem with climate change is impaired cognitive function.
Weirdly, too many people think climate change just means we'll each have to adapt to hotter weather and bigger storms. It's far worse than that. You can't air-condition crops. No wheat, no rice. Mass starvation. Banking and governmental collapse. Not generations hence. Soon

@JVinos_Climate And in other news a butterfly flapping its wings in Florida caused an avalanche in the Alps.

This graph by Robert Rohde illustrates two crucial points about wildfire and climate change that are being neglected by the media and scientists which are vital to policy. Let’s take a look 🧵1/ @RARohde

Wildfires are not getting more intense (wildfire actually has a negative relationship with climate change). The increase in potential fire weather that may happen with climate change is trivial compared to other factors such as CO2 fertilization, water use efficiency, land use
Wildfires are getting more intense around the world due to human-driven climate change

The Price of Climate Virtue Signaling Last year, the UK spent £11.7 billion on renewable subsidies for 0.00007°C in a century Now, the UK can't afford £150 million to save 255,000 children from dying next year Spending priorities have lethal consequences

via @tylercowen “quite blatantly conflating tail risks… with central risks—getting statistical risk wrong.” “To the contrary, Weitzman’s entire point was literally the opposite, that outsized risks in the tail of the climate risk distribution were poorly understood and might

@RogerPielkeJr @hausfath I've been wondering whether this is a big-scale form of what psychologists - at the person-to-person scale - call "prosocial lying." Refs: Prosocial lies: When deception breeds trust https://t.co/dC04mhzzRT Compassion increases prosocial lying

@hausfath There is a fairly common view among climate advocates More disasters-->changing public opinion-->increasing demand for more aggressive climate mitigation policy Not only has that shown to be a false theory, but it leads to perverse views such as the below

If you actually want to deal with climate change effectively, you need to learn what it actually means. Regurgitating fraudulent talking points is counterproductive. Associating weather disasters with climate change, especially falsely as you do, is counterproductive. Floods have
What part of climate change don’t people understand? It’s not just “hotter days” or “strange weather.” The problem is how everything is connected and how fast it’s happening. Rising temperatures, shifting rainfall, stronger storms, and drier forests all feed off each other,

3/3 Comparing the results with the Gross Primary Production estimates from biospheric models (DGVMs), the study concludes that the modelled GPP in Northern Hemisphere ecosystems needs to be higher to match the increasing seasonal variations in atmCO2. https://t.co/1133gxNwbI

The amplitude of the seasonal cycle of CO2 provides a constraint to changing land biosphere productivity in the northern hemisphere Plant productivity and its increase need to be larger than most...

Interesting to watch from the outside. Efforts to make the BBC live up to its duty of impartiality (on Trump, Transgender issues, Gaza et al) are met with the BBC unleashing its flagship @BBCr4today show + allies elsewhere in the Left media to smear it all as an ‘attempted

It is astonishing that researchers are surprised by corals' ability to adapt to a tiny change in pH, of 0.05 units less alkalinity. We learn more about the biases of climate researchers than we do about corals. https://t.co/eMUfejwKaS

A new study of corals up to 200 years old suggests that the organisms are showing signs of resilience to the impacts of an increasingly acidic ocean.

Top Climate Scientist: What If Everything You Knew About Climate Was Wrong? You can watch the full episode with @curryja now on X:
Bill Gates recently said climate change isn’t the kind of threat that will end human life or destroy the planet. But long before that, some climate scientists were already warning that the situation was complex and that some policies meant to “fix” it could actually make things

It’s sad that Science would publish this drivel. It belongs in Omni or Penthouse. @ScienceMagazine
It's shocking that the Vatican requires more evidence for canonization than climate scientists do to prove the existence of a tipping point. For a tipping point a model is sufficient. Is science the new religion for the gullible? https://t.co/IEgnyImfXz

What really moves people right is reading ridiculous posts like this and the sky news propaganda.
I really think that parliament needs to investigate Musk, X and his attempts to destabilise Britain.
