Always found it interesting that when the average person thinks "mass extinction event" they think asteroid ☄️ even though that was actually a weird one and the others were climatically driven from within Earth systems. "Recency" bias I guess, lol
A really excellent lecture that I saw from a doorway to the lecture room because it was overflowing. I already knew about what could happen from palaeo records, but I'm now a lot more concerned we may be nearer to the tipping point than many people assume.

Nice to see space given to a deeply reported, long-form story that probes the political economy of why entertainment is so stale and derivative now, rather than the usual pop-psychology nonsense about nostalgia or whatever that implicates the audience

"The tropical Atlantic invasion will add to the ongoing Indo-Pacific invasion through the Suez Canal, irreversibly transforming the entire Mediterranean into a novel ecosystem unprecedented in human history."

Have to admit to having difficulty reconciling facts like these with the argument of that new Brett Christophers book that investors are wary of renewables because they're structurally unprofitable

In the yellow / red areas, adding trees (and their dark sunlight-absorbing leaves) will potentially add more energy to global warming than their carbon uptake is able to reduce it. In other words, expanding forests in those areas would provide no global climate change benefit.

Really looking forward to this one
Seeing things like ancient deep-sea basins, and tropical carbonate platforms and reefs from a quarter-billion ago pop up in maps of oil wells will never get old to me
Given that entire economy premised on prediction that tomorrow will look something like today (insurance, mortgages, credit, bonds etc) the radical uncertainty in store from climate change still seems underrated as source of nonlinear, compounding, catastrophic risk to the system

This guy knows less than nothing. To pull on just one thread of this foolishness: "We don't know where the carbon dioxide is from." Hmm, for some reason the isotopic composition of atmospheric CO2 started looking a lot more like fossil carbon beginning in the 19th century.

So ends an insane month of writing. I think I researched and drafted ~11,000-12,000 words this month, spread between news stories, features & book chapters. That's very high—too much!—for me, especially while juggling illnesses as a new parent. Next time, I'm pulling back!
Watching all this great work being done recently, can't help but be reminded that a very powerful climate scientist thought that understanding of volcanos and climate was sufficient in 2012 to know precisely the expected effect of past eruptions nature.com/articles/ngeo1…
Volcanic forcing of high-latitude Northern Hemisphere eruptions - 'Our results ... highlight the need for more accurate representation of [Northern Hemisphere high-latitude] events in volcanic forcing reconstructions' nature.com/articles/s4161…
The empirical patterns (and the Geo-Red Queen) show that the maximal disparity of regional evolution should be evident at time scales of 40 Ma, after that due to finite size of the Earth and plate tectonics, homogenization of biotas inevitably ensues. nature.com/articles/s4158…
We had two announcements today on #PaleostreamCon, one was that the third Paleostream book is near completion, second is that our next big server event will cover a version of Lemuria. In this iteration it's a combination of India and Madagascar that never collided with Asia.
NEW PUBLICATION in @naturesustainab: @Kentikelenis and I argue that if green industrial policies are not globalized thru technology transfers to the Global South, the hopes of this policy approach for both climate and development are likely to be dashed. doi.org/10.1038/s41893…
Awesome new paper by @ClarkeAKnight et al. reconstructing atmospheric river activity - 'The reconstruction suggests California has experienced pluvial episodes that exceeded any in the meteorologic instrumental era'
📣Great study by Clarke Knight et al: Intense #rainfall events resulting from strong atmospheric river activity two and three millennia ago exceeded those of the 20th century around Leonard Lake, #California. @usgs_climate @ClarkeAKnight 🔗nature.com/articles/s4324…
To be clear: rooftop solar PV is NOT the problem. The problem is BAD RATE DESIGN that does not convey what electricity actually costs—and thus what the value of self-generating with solar or saving energy with efficiency or shifting consumption with smart devices is worth! Fix…
.@BorensteinS estimates that soaring retail rates, poor rate design & rapidly growing rooftop solar adoption in California combine to shift ~$3.8 billion from bills of solar adopters to those without solar, increasing their rates 5.7-7¢/kWh. 😯 energyathaas.wordpress.com/2024/04/22/cal…
New from me in @damagemag. Environmentalists have recently discovered we can't just 'block' dirty infrastructure, we also need a 'politics of building.' But such a politics must center the builders (workers/unions) needed for such transformation. damagemag.com/2024/04/24/cla…
I daresay @almostghosh's #anthropocene essay in @ISSUESinST is the best thing yet written in the wake of the @theIUGS rejection of a stratigraphy-based Anthropocene Epoch. Anyone want to help me pull together an "Epitaph for the Upper-Case Anthropocene" essay collection/book?…
The Anthropocene is a mess. 🌍 No "god-trick of scientific authority" can change that. 🌏 The case for bold policy action already exists. 🌎 "Recognizing this can set environmental policy free. issues.org/farewell-anthr…
A very stimulating paper by @simpson_carl and colleagues, which I've had a chance to review, on the expansion of the notion of fitness to so called "expansion fitness" concept which can be applied to multiple levels of the genealogical hierarchy. doi.org/10.1017/pab.20…
This is what most people don't understand about climate change.
Does this graph scare anyone else? Makes me laugh when climate deniers say 1.2°C in 150 years is not catastrophic. #climatebrawl
It’s true! That would be the Miocene(!) for those keeping track at 🏠!
Samples of eerie blue glacial ice from Antarctica are a staggering 6 million years old, scientists announced last week, doubling the previous record for Earth’s oldest ice. scim.ag/6GL
Sounding like, as with Mars, we'll end up with paleontology rather than zoology...? (also the idea of an ocean many-days-deep, totally black, monstrously pressured, & utterly still except for slow gravitational throbs is just hideously creepy)
Interesting write-up of recent work on the geological activity of Europa’s sea floor, which is important for its habitability. “I don’t think there’s anything happening on the ocean floor,” says @ThePlanetaryGuy sciencenews.org/article/vision…
As I *also* discuss in #OurFragileMoment (amazon.com/Our-Fragile-Mo…), assessments of "cold climate" sensitivity (such as derived from the Last Glacial Maximum) may be a misleading guide to how much future warming we can expect:
Oh gee. It's almost as if you have no idea whatsoever what I've said or written on this topic. From my most recent book #OurFragileMoment
It’s funny how in American Psycho, one of the main signifiers of Patrick Bateman’s insanity is how seriously he takes pop music.
Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” suffers from being too long and too familiar. The new songs suggest that after a decade, her partnership with Jack Antonoff has perhaps run its course, @amandapetrusich writes. nyer.cm/Pjmrltu
Interesting that the data center discourse coincides perfectly with a forecasted glut in the LNG market. Must be a coincidence!
@PeterBrannen1 Just catching up with this fine piece. What I loved about Wally was how his thinking didn't get stuck on a model. Later in life he noted the "angry beast" he identified was a creature of colder climates. Rare. One reason I liked @MichaelEMann's latest book, on lessons from…
$120/MWh is significantly cheaper than recent NY offshore wind bids
@octaviaspencer If you look at Vogtle Unit 4 and take the exact same costs/schedule with today’s IRA incentives you get roughly $120/MWh for a new AP1000. If you build it 4 years faster with the same supply chain/overnight cost you are probably at $95/MWh. America can do big things but we have…
@Formorphology Recency, Dinosaurs, and the only one that the mass media talks about... That's a point I talk about in classes: the "we are the asteroid" concept reaches people, but anthropogenic extinctions are much more comparable to the volcanically-generated ones.
@Formorphology I think there's a historical aspect too - the dinosaur extinction was figured out at a time of US anxiety about nuclear war and the possibility of a fast end flashed with people.
