There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

That's just one of many instances of distortion and misinformation in the US Department of Energy "Critical Review on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions". Which in fact is a fossil fuel propaganda scam. Let's hope Americans are not that easily fooled. tamino.wordpress.com/2025/08/03/s...

Sea Level Mis-information from DOE

Here in the USA, the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a report titled “A Critical Review of the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” It is a product of the &#8…

"Reducing our dependence on whales as an energy source will send us sliding down the slippery, spermaceti-lubricated slope to socialism. If we give up whaling, what will those lackwits come for next? Will I have to surrender my peg leg for a titanium prosthetic?"

The appearance of large language models caused a drastic shift in the vocabulary of academic writing, according to an analysis in #ScienceAdvances of more than 15 million biomedical abstracts published from 2010 to 2024. Learn more:

Delving into LLM-assisted writing in biomedical publications through excess vocabulary

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can generate and revise text with human-level performance. These models come with clear limitations, can produce inaccurate information, and reinforce existing biases.

“A 1.5-foot-tall wave might not seem like much, but #tsunamis are waves that extend from the seafloor to the ocean’s surface,” said Ben Hamlington, an oceanographer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California." #NASA #JPL www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/us-fren...

When it comes to rice and pasta, dieticians recommend eating brown or whole grain because they're more nutritious. But you can create a super nutrient in white rice and white pasta. Here's the trick.
