I'm glad to share our most recent article with @LovejoyShaun in the @PaleoSoc journal "Paleobiology" presenting so called Fractional MacroEvolution Model (FMEM), which reflects key features of macroevolution - scaling and long memory

Support our Science! Scientific research in Canada is steeply declining. Budgets have stagnated for decades and so have student and postdoc scholarships and support. Join the pan-Canada protest on May 1, the Montreal event details are here: https://t.co/LncSiDekwT

Life or Climate? Which is dominant? My new Nature paper (https://t.co/p10u0NKzox) with Andrej Spiridinov answers this question using the paleobiology data base combined with new Nonlinear Geophysics data analysis techniques. Apologies to supporters of the Gaia hypothesis.

Happy to share our new study with Shaun Lovejoy @LovejoyShaun on the scaling of macroevolutionary processes and their relation to the megaclimate, published today @Nature https://t.co/szXkJQv8Vs 1/n

New paper based on the Fractional Energy Balance Equation (FEBE) gives a slightly smaller warming but a much smaller range of outcomes in 2100 (compare the General Circulation Model (GCM) outcomes in grey with the FEBE outcomes in blue). https://t.co/tgbHcIs9Bo

@AndrejSpiridon4 Mitchell's summary spectrum was an "educated guess" before reliable data. Today, there's no excuse for a scheme without empirical support. Below (red) is a quantitative estimate of the empirical spectrum: it's quite different. They're still in denial about the "background".

A new way of projecting temperatures to 2100: a tiny bit cooler but with a lot more confidence! In the news: https://t.co/92Q5SDfSi6, https://t.co/ODIQkOfaCO, the full story: https://t.co/Lupg3zzWaf.

Using a new approach, #McGill researchers find that the threshold for dangerous #climatechange will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 – a much narrower window than the IPCC’s estimate of between now and 2052.

Devastating report on Canada’s lack of funding for atmospheric climate science https://t.co/E8HJUJImtN. Funding is for cooling systems forest carbon sinks and - now - for “climate awareness”. It seems that rationality and science are not needed, only emotional engagement.
