.@bryan_caplan @ATabarrok I'm giving a talk @WeberStateU on July 31 about 3 climate bets, including ours. Anything you want me to pass along on your behalf? (Serious offer. Bryan I remember your kindness in sharing a message from me in the past.)

[Yoram Bauman @standupecon]

Good news for @bryan_caplan and @ATabarrok! They can still win our #globalwarming “traffic light” bet… if temps for the next 5 years fall to 1960s levels, i.e., about 0.95C lower than the average for the past 10 years. Details at https://t.co/c7GVkq8UzE.

@WeberStateU @hausfath @nickvanosdol Happy new year to @hausfath and @nickvanosdol! Just pinging you about my request for graphics or tweets (in case you missed it due to new year celebrations :).

[Yoram Bauman @standupecon]

I've got a talk @WeberStateU on Jan 31 that covers the "are CO2 emissions peaking" bet I made. (I say No but hope I'm wrong!) @hausfath, @nickvanosdol: do you have a graphic or tweet I might include, maybe IYHO the most optimistic/pessimistic development? https://t.co/ShzZqhT9WR

[Yoram Bauman @standupecon]

Okay, so @mikejrob is out of the bet but @nickvanosdol is in and has confirmed, and so has @hausfath, each for $400. Good luck... I hope I lose! https://t.co/aEE0ZoL1Dl https://t.co/Fgj4bSFLf9

CO2 price outperforms EJ policies on air quality in disadvantaged communities, in this new study. For tweet summary, see my reply below.

Never mind, Erick helped us on your chat. Apparently it’s from folks with unstable internet connections.

@givebutter I’m with Emerson PTA in SLC and we’re currently running this fundraising effort: https://t.co/nO6gSKITeR. But some of the time people using our QR code (from your site) get this weird version of the website instead, can you help us?!?

@johnarnold John, if you’re getting into film (or theater) I encourage you to check out / support my new play… it’s a romantic comedy about carbon tax ballot measures! Aiming to put it on at Salt Lake Fringe this summer, and then of course Broadway and Hollywood! https://t.co/xpKdcEH5L9

The stand-up economist wrote a play! https://t.co/nParuIXxlD

[Yoram Bauman @standupecon]

The stand-up economist has written a play--it's a romantic comedy about carbon tax ballot measures!--and I've launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring it to the stage! It sounds like an April Fools' Day story... but it's true! Read the script and more: https://t.co/xpKdcEH5L9
