I became a Cubs fan at the age of 5. I was born a Bears fan.

@WGNRadioSports For a day.

@MarkLazerus Actually wasn’t that bad. I think you’ve probably protected something here.

It’s Independence Day! 🇺🇸

It is absurd for people to die from heat when we have air conditioning

Cooler cities like white roofs and green spaces are also cheap and effective solutions

Don't make smart policies into a culture war

@SenSanders How can we take you seriously when you seek to raise taxes on the wealthy, but not spend a dime of the additional revenue on fighting climate change?

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@Michael_Cerami It’s deceiving, because when I leave the living room to go into the kitchen and hear a crowd roar from the tv, I’m conditioned to expect bad things when the Cubs are the “away” team.

The difference between weather and climate:
If it’s bad news, it’s climate, and catastrophe looms.
If it’s good news, it’s weather, it’s fleeting, and doesn’t change the long-term projected looming catastrophe.

[Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 @rahmstorf]

Unsere Kinder und Enkel werden uns bitter verfluchen.
Die #Erderhitzung lässt sich auch durch Nullemissionen nicht zurückdrehen, nur die weitere Erhitzung stoppen.
Denn CO2 bleibt Jahrtausende in der Luft. Kipppunkte kommen näher.
Es wird kein Zurück geben.

@obvious_shirts “The Cubs did not lose today,” my dad would ALWAYS say.

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@obvious_shirts I remember him.

[Bjorn Lomborg @BjornLomborg]

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.

Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.

The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

@jamiedupree One thing we can be sure of…

[Scott North @rowedairy]

Welp. These are not the #Cubs we were looking for.

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@Michael_Cerami Swinging too hard.

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@Michael_Cerami Let’s Get Some Runs!

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@Tramyers_NHL Their first one also had a rookie goalie, who we all remember, in net!

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@Tramyers_NHL Woo Hoo!!!

TFW politicians realize the size of a trillion. To put this into context, the federal gov’t has borrowed 444 years worth of the budget of the entire state of Michigan of 10 million people, for all of the schools, roads, healthcare services, veterans services, public safety…etc…

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

To put this into context, a trillion dollars could pay for the budget for the entire state of Michigan, a state of 10 million people, for all of the schools, roads, healthcare services, veterans services, public safety, state parks, universities and everything else…for over 12 years.

Musk wouldn’t have become a success without us - paying for the government subsidies, incentives, and contracts his companies rely on.

Elon didn’t get rich trading stocks, but somehow, many in congress have gotten rich trading stocks. Congress has inflated the currency and punished those who punch clocks. Tax him if you want, but stop lying please.

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. While working people struggle to get by, the billionaire class is becoming the TRILLIONAIRE class. It's disgusting. I'm fighting to tax the rich so we stop rewarding trading stocks over punching clocks.

[Scott North @rowedairy]

@ewarren AI doesn’t pay taxes, Senator. It would be cool if it did. Alas.

[Scott North @rowedairy]

“Literally” is not a magic word that turns $50B into $750B.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American.

And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars!

You don't think that's worth it?
