Joe Romm gave one of the most memorable talks I’ve ever heard at Columbia many years ago. Among other things, he said, “Sustainable development is like teenage sex. Everybody says they're doing it, very few people actually are, and those who are doing it are doing it badly.” RIP legend.

The fossil record not only constrains the evolution in the space-time. But it also gives the insights on the physical properties of the world at macro scale. Think about this find of Miocene capybaras in Atacama, which points to recency of the desert. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪⚒️ #Paleobio

great news guys! EPA announced a major new regulation today! they'll be monitoring wastewater to detect legal birth control. they'll not be monitoring coal plants to detect carbon dioxide, mercury, greenhouse gases, minor details. We're living in Gilead but all the Commanders are fossil fuels.
