However, this ignores the fact that even a ~2 degree C warming has the potential to cause a feedback effect, releasing more greenhouse gasses trapped in ice, which could increase temperature even more. https://t.co/CFkFXe5Xnm #ees028 #climatemyth

[Max Perry @MaxPerr84965459]

Skeptics who do accept that the climate is changing like to claim that since the temperature hasn't risen much more than a few degrees, it doesn't actually have a significant effect. They say that the impact will be relatively small. https://t.co/CFkFXe5Xnm #ees028 #climatemyth

However, this ignores the fact that the vast majority of climate scientists(97%) agree that climate change is caused by humans. So, skeptics, why should we listen to the 500 papers and ignore the rest? https://t.co/fyYCRzLEbE #ees028 #climatemyth

[Max Perry @MaxPerr84965459]

A common claim on global warming is that there are scientists who disagree with the rest, so they should be listened to. Skeptics say that since there are so many scientists saying this(500), they must have a point. https://t.co/fyYCRzLEbE #ees028 #climatemyth

However, this ignores the massive ball of burning hydrogen in the sky. This is much hotter than either the air or the surface of the Earth, so it can heat us up. When heat is prevented from leaving, the Earth gets hotter. https://t.co/yae5Ize6tQ #ees028 #climatemyth

[Max Perry @MaxPerr84965459]

Climate change skeptics often use the second law of thermodynamics to "disprove" climate change. They say that the air cannot heat the Earth because it is colder than the surface. https://t.co/yae5Ize6tQ #ees028 #climatemyth

It was a cold morning on lower campus, but as it warmed up I managed to spot a few birds on the ground or in the air. There were a lot more that were singing while hiding. #ees028 #GBBC

If protecting the planet isn’t a good enough reason to protect biodiversity, various industries could lose $338 billion per year if the same rate of biodiversity loss continues. https://t.co/brORUA0NBZ #ees028 #biodiversityvalue

[Max Perry @MaxPerr84965459]

Biodiversity is important because the environment can help with global warming! Destruction of forest ecosystems causes 11% of human greenhouse gas emissions. Preserving biodiversity helps our planet. https://t.co/brORUA0NBZ #ees028 #biodiversityvalue

The book for EES 028 is currently $3.99 as an e-textbook on Amazon. If you haven't found it yet, this is a good chance. https://t.co/LIxevneWOz #ees028

Ravens have a wide range of vocalizations, and are very communicative. They mainly scavenge for food, sometimes following larger predators as they hunt. https://t.co/XYhK86uMmy #ees028 #eol

[Max Perry @MaxPerr84965459]

Ravens are social birds, and can learn how to solve puzzles from watching others. This happens primarily between siblings, but also based on social dynamics and hierarchy. https://t.co/C3VWE3sPvB #ees028 #eol

A monarch butterfly only weighs as much as a paperclip, and the monarch caterpillars’ only source of food is milkweed. Some cities are helping monarchs by planting milkweed. #ees028 #eol

The monarch butterfly goes on a migration that takes 4 generations each year. Their migration spans from Mexico to Canada. https://t.co/BLy9n0cpU7 #ees028 #eol
