@MrSockrates Hey Socrates! Yeah, unfortunately we've sort of tapered off the stream due to dwindling viewer numbers and @henrifdrake getting really busy with work. No plans to start streaming again in the near future.

After about ~30 minutes of discussing Josh's adviser's recent Science paper https://t.co/Q9uxO3IfOo, we'll have a nostalgic race to see who can be the first to beat Brock, a rock-type #Pokemon trainer and first gym leader in Pokemon Red, while answering questions from chat!

Tonight at 7:00 PM eastern we'll be talking with MIT graduate student Josh Murray about how collisions between tectonic plates can lead to changes in CO2 over millions of years - and how these may have caused the ice age of the last 2 million years!

I'll be streaming #Civilization6: Gathering Storm at 7:00pm ET tonight! Will be talking about @AOC's Green New Deal and how young folk like @sunrisemvmt and @GretaThunberg are ushering in a new era of climate consciousness and action!

Come hang out at https://t.co/HC6zlja4iZ

Hold old is the Greenland Ice Sheet?

Some scientists claim 1 million years old and others 7 million.

At 7:00pm ET tonight, @palaeobak joins me to discuss how we use science to reconstruct the history of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

@lizardengland @henrifdrake Yes please.

very exciting that MIT thinks my research is interesting... or, judging from the picture they chose, pretty scary!

[Climate Gamers @climate_gamers]

We're live with @rileyxbrady of University of Colorado, Boulder, talking about ocean carbon cycles and their predictability only 10-ish year timescales!

We'll be chatting about his recent paper (and his advisor's paper) before playing some #Fortnite!

We just started out 5 hour stream of Civilization VI: Gathering Storm, a newly release computer game where players cause climate change with their behavior, experience the impacts, and develop solutions!

Nice animation showing the configurations of the continents from now, through the Paleocene (discusses in tonight’s “Journal Club” segment), all the way back to the supercontinent of Pangea!

[Climate Gamers @climate_gamers]

We're talking to MIT Graduate Student Julia Wilcots at 7:00pm ET (in 20 minutes) about the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, Earth's hottest period in the last 50 million years. We'll talk about how we know it was hot, why it was hot, and what it was like

[Climate Gamers @climate_gamers]

I'M SO EXCITED AND I HOPE YOU ARE TOO!

Watch me discover the game for the first time from 5pm-11pm EST on Friday, February 15th (the day after it's released) at https://t.co/HC6zlja4iZ

8) The civics feature similarly allows players to implement policies to incentivize certain technologies or behaviors.
