@krishnasweden @TonyClimate @grok So glad we reached ‘climate consensus’. Just for giggles… Grok (left) versus ChatGPT (right):

@MooshHello1234 @SpiritusComics @MarleyButler8 @DimmingOur73436 @TonyClimate Oil exploration geologist here. Hydrocarbons (oil/gas) that we use on this planet are generated by burial of organic matter (plankton, algae, plants) to depths >5km, under high temp/pressure over millennia. Occurrences of abiotic oil/gas are extremely rare and many are contested.

@PinkTaxiRunner Looks fab! Thanks for the unexpected postcard!

@PinkTaxiRunner Silent nights glow bright,
Staircase to hidden treasure,
Peace rests in shadows.

@PinkTaxiRunner Dim corners shimmer
Surprises tiptoe through doors
left open by chance…

@ChrisMartzWX @benshapiro Reliable gauge data for the Guadalupe system has only been available since the mid 20th Cent. Considering only major flood events since the 1950s (‘78, ‘87, ‘91, ‘97, ‘98, ‘02, ‘15, ‘18, ‘20 and ‘21), the yearly chance of a flood prior to this one was 15%, not 1% quoted by some…

@PinkTaxiRunner I’m sure this is Göschenen station… stood on this spot on my way to, or from, Milan a few years ago.

@PinkTaxiRunner Yasmine, most people would just walk past this! The rock is limestone which, as you said 👏🏻, has been eroded (dissolved) by slightly acidic rainwater over the last 11,000 years after the glaciers retreated when the climate started warming. This type of erosion is known as karst.

@LoisMcLatch Man with the hat needs counselling. Possibly also new medication. You two were magnificent in the face of real danger ✨

@ChrisMartzWX Exploration geologist here. I’m with you on climate, Chris. But don’t pander to the environmental alarmists on this. Apply your academic rigour to each item in your 3rd paragraph. Or I can send you my subsurface review of the Atacama play. Li isn’t just for EVs… we need it.

[David Goold @david_goold]

@PinkTaxiRunner Yes, beautiful. And happy fondue memories 🙌🏻🫕
