@Robt_VC @AngieCraigMN The series “Life on Our Planet,” episode three, describes a time 252 millions years ago when Earth had a period of CO2 six times what it is today. The land was almost entirely desert and very little life survived on land and in the oceans. That was 10 degrees C warmer than today.

@hillengmn @AngieCraigMN The one we had for the last eight thousand years, ending in 1980, that allowed humans to thrive. Now, we don’t know what will happen within a single lifetime.

@bryanhansel @ErinMayeQuade Hi Bryan, There are convention rules in the public DFL Constitution that offer many options. She did not have to be present, did not have to withdraw, and did not request a postponement. She alone made the choices for how this went, as it should be.

@JReagan64 @pdouglasweather @NWSTwinCities Think of it like the accelerator in a car. Takes a while to speed up, and it takes a while to slow down.

@claydumas I know. When I was graduating and interviewed at Lawrence Livermore Labs to work on the fusion experiment, it was only twenty years away from commercial deployment. I retired two years ago, so fusion MUST be ready now!

[Clay Dumas @claydumas]

The most underrated climate tech is fusion. I keep hearing "it's decades off, won't be as cheap as solar, we just don't need it." It's closer than you think. And when it arrives, limitless, CO2-free, around-the-clock power will be a step function improvement for civilization.

@deshondaniel @AVHSforensics I presume you are the speech coach named in the Dakota County Tribune story in the 7/3/2020 issue. I’m wondering if any of the four tournament finalists would be interested in being a guest speaker at a joint online Toastmasters meeting?

[Bill Middlecamp @wjm2222]

@KHayhoe Thank you. This is incredibly useful to me.

@jdrakehamilton Wisdom of the Crowd suggests he should not eliminate outliers, but use the the average of $291/ton

Even after devastating hurricanes, @EPAScottPruitt STILL repeals #CleanPowerPlan. Act here to #ProtectCPP:

@barecode I have an e copy of the report from Pres Sci Council (name?) to LBJ in 1965

@AlbatrossCobra @alfranken Ok, but the oceans are still rising, and the weather is getting weirder

[Al Franken @alfranken]

And the thing about facts is that they remain true whether people believe in them or not.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but climate change is a fact.

[Bill Middlecamp @wjm2222]

@MikeAugustyniak Nice Climate Change story. Note, the 800,00yr ice core data is labeled as the Keeling Curve.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

When asked a tough but fair question about wiretapping, Trump folded faster than a lawn chair. Let's hope more reporters show some courage.

[MN350 @MN_350]

We went to #PeoplesClimate march to protect our communities. @GovMarkDayton TY for your pledge to veto the Omnibus bill pipeline provisions.
