@PierrePoilievre Or you bump someone else.

@PierrePoilievre @RedPandaMining Oil price averaged 40$/bbl during this period (even going negative) after ripping to >100 the years prior. These were cancelled because the economic winds had changed. This is dishonest framing at best.

We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%.

It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.

"Rather than substituting
more opaque processes, the UN would be better served by continuing to rely on the IPCC
for such assessments."

By circumventing the rigorous methods of the IPCC in the recent surging seas brief, the UN cheapens itself + the IPCC

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

Yesterday I successfully passed my PhD defence 🥳

Thank you to my amazing supervisors & committee —@DMcEdiacaran, @FossilRod, @jackjmatthews and Suzanne Dufour— for all your support. And to my examiners Dima Grazhdankin, Evan Edinger and @DLowe_Geo for a great discussion

The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis.

Thanks for all the science #EGU24 !

@chrispiecuch See you there!

Volcanoes blow smoke rings and they do it rarely, because they require such precise conditions to form.

This is the amazing series of rings produced by Mt Etna on April 6, 2024.

The airbnb-eclipse boom

With the eclipse approaching in less than a week, over half of U.S. cities along the eclipse's path are fully booked for the night of April 7th according to data from @airdna

Congrats on submitting Chris!

[Chris McKean @McChris1993]

After four-ish years, a global pandemic and some of the best experiences of my life this month I submitted my PhD thesis for examination!!!
Thank you to @munpaleobiology et al. for all the support, laughter and guidance over the past few years - now to the defence!
