On The Climate Brink, @zekehausfather.com and I revisit the warmth of the 1930s. This seems to be one of the most important denier arguments out there. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/raw-data-w...

Professor Hides White Font in Midterm, Catches Students Using AI in the Stupidest Way Possible. "Thirty-two of my 35 students between two classes failed a portion of their midterm because they all used AI to generate their entire response." futurism.com/future-socie...

While a dewpoint in the 80s is very realistic, it is highly unlikely that the dewpoint hit 90 or that the RH is 100%. (The 100% RH is a tip-off that it's likely a sensor issue.) Still disgusting out there though.

Having an in person international or national event in America? Are you weighing factors like lodging and transport? Cool stuff to do? Here's a map to consider if any of your attendees may possibly, even remotely be LGBTQIA. And you care about them.

Is it summer? Yes. Should it be hot? Sure. Should it be THIS hot? Not quite. In fact, climate change is making this kind at least 3x more likely for: • Monday: 52.2M Americans • Tuesday: 95.4M • Wednesday: 85.5M (and almost impossible w/out it for 65.2M!) (data: @climatecentral.org)

It is always appropriate to write something on your list that you already did just so you can have the satisfaction of crossing it off.

New: The US is suffering multiple climate-driven disasters this week - wildfire smoke, heat waves, flooding. These "compound events" are likely to become increasingly common, stressing emergency response amid Trump budget cuts. With @zhirji.bsky.social Free link. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In my neck of the woods, we're experiencing two of the deadliest types of weather/climate disasters right now: extreme heat and air pollution. It's making me think of this @climateconnections.bsky.social article from 2024: yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/04/clim...

Yep, the pitcher and catcher are both mic'd up so we can hear their dialog. It's really interesting!

Writing lesson 101: use active voice over passive voice whenever possible (and it is almost always possible).

SO MUCH THIS.

The booing sucks, and Philly should never host the All-Star game again. It isn’t cute. It’s rude and disrespectful.

So @profsanderlinden.bsky.social wrote about the concept of "pre bunking" in his book FOOLPROOF, and this is exactly the right time to do it. Not just media. Us mortals, too. Grab a copy and at least scan it to get the gist. Then do it.

Having just finished reading UNDER A FLAMING SKY by Daniel James Brown about the great Hinckley fire of 1894, I'm acutely aware of how fire conditions can be extreme in the northern Great Lakes, just as they are in the West. If you have friends/family in the area, make sure they're aware.

For folks asking why bother commenting because the OMB won't care: comments help build cases for the courts by explicitly laying out harms. That's why it's really important to have your comments be as specific as possible. Also, contact your senators and reps! They actually do care about this.

Great list of books! And hey, while you're at it, go ahead and add WILDER WEATHER! www.sdhspress.com/books/wilder...

ETTD 😭 Great run, USMNT. ⚽️

Damned if we do, damned if we don’t. bsky.app/profile/alis...

The Venn diagram of people who shout “just comply!” when a non-white person is a victim of LO excessive force, defiantly scream “‘Murica!” and shoot fireworks anyway when they’re banned for fire safety or after a certain hour, and get mad at weather safety evacuations is a perfect circle.

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative
