@trefjon Yes!

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon Here’s a thread you’ll find interesting, and which will allow you to revise your position on climate change:

[Really_Bad_At_Names, Good at Science🦎 @25_cycle]

#ClimateBrawl
Given nearly two centuries of physics data and thermodynamics we still have people who lie about basic science, Marc's excellent thread lays out the argument in detail.

@trefjon Challenge yourself by reading this, Tref.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

Breaking News!
Code Yikes!

June is starting off with record high sea-surface temperatures in the Nino 3.4 region, measuring an anomaly of just over 1.0°C above the 1991-2020 mean. The coming El Nino is expected to peak at more than 3.0°C above the 1991-2020 mean.

Stay tuned!

@trefjon On modelling;

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

Since there are once again some pretty outlandish claims circulating based on non-peer-review papers, a reminder that the global temperature record of the past decade is fully consistent with state-of-the-art (CMIP6) climate model simulations: https://t.co/wozp1qtvHC

@trefjon Morning, Tref.

[BONUS🌍 @TheDisproof]

This is page 28, of an 1982 Exxon scientists report on what CO2 would do to global temps should it increase to todays levels https://t.co/Dtncr9T0CY They knew it would increase temps rapidly. They buried this paper and spent hundreds of millions spreading misinfo to sow doubt.

@trefjon @robinmonotti I think you are, yes. I mistook you, Trefor, for someone with a scintilla of integrity. Goodbye.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti So it’s not just Oreskes & Conway, is it?

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti Re: Oreskes.

Total, aware of harmful global warming impacts since 1971. https://t.co/QFjPAEIkPF

ENI knew. https://t.co/hcDmjon2ed

Shell knew in 1966, when James Lovelock warned Lord Rothschild that fossil fuel combustion was leading to catastrophic pollution.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti I’m persuaded, on balance, by the well documented evidence and consistent witnesses that Oreskes and many others present. BTW, 278 ppm in 1750 to >420 pom today counts as a miniscule change??? Wow!

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti Look around, Trefor. Look at what is happening in the world. Read e.g., Oreskes and Conway’s Merchants of Doubt. I’m afraid you’ve got it the wrong way round. You’re the one who has swallowed the oil company propaganda whole.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti Industrialisation has taken 200 years to increase atmospheric CO2, ocean acidity and other indicators to levels last seen 80 million years ago. The 6th mass extinction in the history of the Earth is taking place around. Plastic contamination is everywhere. You want more?

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@AHedensted Exactly.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti Oh dear.

[Third Umpire @thethirdumpire]

Only THREE seats left at @ertheatre #Beverley for next week's #TourdeFrance night with @mrendell. https://t.co/n4mMRn4ijg

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti If you don’t want to talk about the future, then fine. If you do, you’re stuck with using models. Simples.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@trefjon @robinmonotti To repeat: it takes a fraction of a second to realise I can in principle be no empirical data from the future. Empirical data always belongs to the past. So, to talk about the future. You can only use hypotheses, i.e., models.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@scruffy_jack I haven’t - I’ll check him out. Always receptive to a recommendation. Thanks, JC 👍🏾

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@CultureRadarNG @TheAthleticFC No reply. Thought not.

[Matt Rendell @[email protected] @mrendell]

@CultureRadarNG @TheAthleticFC What’s your position on gas flaring? And on indigenous territorial rights?

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism
