The only answer I have for this question is because the Biden folks don't want the fucking world to end. They want to hit the Paris Agreement targets and so that America can lead by example, even if there is a political cost and very little gain.
So, I guess, we're just all very lucky to have people working their asses of to address climate change even though, apparently, it will go unnoticed and not sway anyone to vote for them because we're too busy being snarky on a website.

I addressed the Ukraine Support Contact Group, "Ramstein," urging prompt action to provide Ukraine with more long-range capabilities, air defense, and artillery ammunition. If the necessary steps are taken, we will disrupt Putin's plans and regain the initiative. A thread🧵

@PhilippMarkolin Let’s be honest. The only people supporting Bret at this stage are fellow conspiracy addled narcissists and lower level influencers desperate to shake a few followers loose given his approval. He may talk softly, but he’s indistinguishable from Alex Jones.
Einer der engsten Vertrauten von Wladimir Putin, der inzwischen für alle Einflussoperationen im Ausland zuständig ist, hat 2022 einen Auftrag erteilt: ein Strategiepapier für die AfD zu entwerfen. Das Ziel: die Partei zu stärken. Es liegt uns vor. spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
We need to talk about that human case of H5N1 in Texas... Here is a bootstrapped (NJ) tree showing how the closest realtive of H5N1 sampled in cattle is a virus the infected an male individual who reportedly worked on a farm with cattle (dairy, I believe).
One last thing - this suggests, but does not prove, that the common ancestor of both the main, and putative minor, bovine H5N1 lineages existed in Texas.
🔽What every crazy uncle at family dinner says. Maybe your own family and friends calling you a loony conspiracy theorist should raise alarm or prompt introspection; rather than spinning fairytales about how the illuminati are brainwashing everbody against you? What a loser 😅
Important update on metadata of H5N1 in cattle (and back to birds): Thanks to the extraordinary detective skills of @flodebarre, we are pleased to be able to share this table containing locations and dates for several H5N1 cases in cattle and birds: github.com/andersen-lab/a…
Whenever people frame climate science as a debate between mainstream science (who agree on everything) and "skeptics" (who are challenging things), a gentle reminder that it is mainstream science that is skeptical in a way that iterates on understanding and advances knowledge…
Why are US scientists dragged in front of Congress in Benghazi-style show trials? How come highly rated research programs get quietly shut down? Is it justified to treat virologists with suspicion? Is SARS-CoV-2 a gain-of-function virus? Let's explore: protagonist-science.com/p/treacherous-…

Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. x.com/hillaryclinton…
What's at stake for our climate in this November's elections? Absolutely everything. carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump…
So, I guess, we're just all very lucky to have people working their asses of to address climate change even though, apparently, it will go unnoticed and not sway anyone to vote for them because we're too busy being snarky on a website.
The only answer I have for this question is because the Biden folks don't want the fucking world to end. They want to hit the Paris Agreement targets and so that America can lead by example, even if there is a political cost and very little gain.
3. The people who actually care about climate change WILL NOT EVEN KNOW IT HAPPENED, DO NOT CELEBRATE IT, AND INSTEAD WILL FOCUS ON A MISINTERPRETED GRAPH AND OWNING HILLARY CLINTON.
So why is the Biden Administration working it's ass off to get to the 2050 target when: 1. It is going to increase power costs, providing ammunition to conservatives. 2. It's a huge pain in the ass because conservative justices keep getting nominated.
I found out about it this weekend because I listen to the dorkiest, most inside-baseball climate podcast on Earth, Shift Key. (If you want to actually care about climate change, this (and Volts from @drvolts) are the podcasts!) x.com/robinsonmeyer/…
NEW SHIFT KEY: The EPA’s rules on carbon pollution from power plants are finally here. @JesseJenkins and I break down how they work, what they mean for US climate goals, and why they depend so heavily on carbon capture. (It’s all about the courts.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shi…
Now, do you think I found out about it when tens of thousands of people shared tweets about it? Yeah, of course not. The Sierra Club and NRDC and Earth Justice all tweeted excitedly about it and got...dozens of likes. Governor Jay Inslee GOT RATIOED OVER IT!
They worked for years to make a legally strong case that the EPA has the ability to regulate the majority of our power sector's CO2 emissions out of existence and it ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN and it's a testament to hard, smart, long work that it did.
The coal lobby has always said "Carbon Capture is the Future" so the Biden Admin is saying "OK, 2032 sounds like the future to me....here are the tools to get there. If it isn't the future, then stop emitting CO2 by shutting down."
They did this with the IRA and the Infrastructure Law (a move that a lot of progressives disliked, but was part of these machinations.) Because Trump appointed so many conservative justices, they had to get that passed before they could legally justify the new rules.
But if the coal companies could credibly say "No, carbon capture isn't ready yet, you're asking us to do something we can't do." Then the court would just overturn it, so the Biden Admin first had to pass laws that developed and supported CO2 capture technology.
But then Trump was president and he of course scrapped everything. So, Biden's EPA had to figure out how to do it in a way that fit with court precedent, and that meant keeping it a regulation that affected individual power plants, which mean't "capture carbon or close."
The Obama admin quickly interfaced with the EPA and attempted to do the obvious thing...create a carbon market where different sectors could trade credits so we could decarbonize as efficiently as possible.
But then the Supreme Court (with justices appointed by GWB) stopped the regulation from going into effect, and eventually said, "OK, you can regulate CO2, but you can't create a carbon market. You can only regulate individual power plants."
It began in 2005 when the Massachusettes sued the EPA saying, "You have to regulate harmful emissions and CO2 is a harmful emission." The Supreme Court agreed and the EPA sent their findings to the Bush administration which REFUSED TO OPEN THE EMAIL and stalled until Obama.
There's also this take, (this one with 11k likes) which is just incorrect. The 2050 goal was set by the Paris Agreement, and Biden's 2030 goal is more aggressive than the 2030 goal set by the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement's goal is to limit warming to 1.5C.
Anyway, the fact that people misinterpreted a graph which would be better represented as the below graphs (created by @nolightupstairs and @jaxroam respectively) isn't what makes me so sad and frustrated.
I mean, it does frustrate me...like, people see what they are primed to see and obviously a lot of progressives are primed to see the Biden Administration as half-assed on climate. But here's what really frustrated me.
