<sigh> One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript. How do we know? Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth. Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Toured the new offshore research vessel CCGS Naalak Nappaaluk today at the base in Victoria. Impressive research vessel and investment by the Canadian government to meet our responsibilities w/r/t protecting our marine resources

The US has published a list today of dozens of environmental, scientific, and development organizations and treaties from which it is withdrawing. This list includes the IPCC; IRENA; the UNFCCC; UN Water; IPBES; among many others. Absolutely nuts. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

From @AGU.org: Senators are working on legislation to save NCAR, but we need extra support for these 8 states. Your Senators in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming need to hear from you.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3°C by 2100. Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth. 🧵

The word "growth" is a core term in the language of climate politics. As we just saw, climate economists estimate the costs of climate damages relative to the amount of economic growth they project into the twenty-first century, and by and large they assume that such growth will continue no matter how hot and chaotic the planet gets. Their belief in a future of continued economic growth enables another idea sometimes used to justify sustaining the fossil- fuel economy: the idea that economic growth is itself a climate-change solution, a form of environmental protection that will shield the prosperous from climate devastation. This belief is so bipartisan, so ubiquitous, that it's not quite accurate to call it propaganda. It's best understood as a *myth*. This myth is often taken for reality by both fossil-fuel partisans on the right and climate-conscious progressives on the center-left.

Well, the architects of the outage are actually AWS, who control a global majority of the cloud computing services that web services like Canvas depend on. This is what happens when the internet has all of its eggs in one basket

i teared up when i read these beautiful words from the CEOs of KKR investments, the current co-owners of Instructure/Canvas & therefore architects of the outage now making it so none of my students can access any learning materials

Pull quote from website of KKR Investments, current co-owner of Instructure / Canvas: "At a time when powerful trends are shaping global challenges, we are committed to delivering everything we have in pursuit of great outcomes." Scott Nuttall & Joseph Bae Co-Chief Executive Officers
