"But now, areas of the #Antarctic ice sheet that had been stable for thousands of years are breaking, thinning, melting, or in some cases collapsing in a heap." Have you read Ted Scambos's @ConversationUS piece about the retreat of Thwaites Glacier yet? bit.ly/3mtwpjm

Confused about longer and more extreme periods of heat and cold in the northern hemisphere? They have a lot to do with human-induced #climatechange and stalled weather patterns, resulting from an altered #jetstream.

Did you see the claim that $200/t carbon tax would only cut a tiny impact on climate change, specifically 4%?
Well, there's a bit of "science news cycle" telephone going on... 1/n

A sentence about Facebook and news that I want you to read and ponder. "Supporting high-quality outlets would inevitably make it look like the platform was supporting liberals, which could lead to trouble in Washington, a town run mainly by conservatives." wired.com/story/facebook-mar…

Husband (architect and engineer) pointed out that whoever the contractor on this Notre Dame renovation was, they're legally and financially fucked now. That got me curious about the firm ... which led to some old articles and, oh man, the aftermath of this is gonna be messy ...

We did a similar analysis at S&P and reached the same conclusion: EVs beat non-electric cars in every US state on emissions.
Case closed: if you want to reduce light duty vehicle emissions, replace the vehicle with an electric - and continue decarbonizing the power system.
You are obscuring the main point: the best 2018 non-electric cars out there only hit 35 MPG. There is no place on the US electric grid that doesn’t beat that (using 2012 data no less!) ucsusa.org/sites/default/fil…
