.@bryan_caplan @ATabarrok I'm giving a talk @WeberStateU on July 31 about 3 climate bets, including ours. Anything you want me to pass along on your behalf? (Serious offer. Bryan I remember your kindness in sharing a message from me in the past.)

Good news for @bryan_caplan and @ATabarrok! They can still win our #globalwarming “traffic light” bet… if temps for the next 5 years fall to 1960s levels, i.e., about 0.95C lower than the average for the past 10 years. Details at standupeconomist.com/2025-up….

I've got a talk @WeberStateU on Jan 31 that covers the "are CO2 emissions peaking" bet I made. (I say No but hope I'm wrong!) @hausfath, @nickvanosdol: do you have a graphic or tweet I might include, maybe IYHO the most optimistic/pessimistic development? nitter.gq/standupecon/status/174…
Okay, so @mikejrob is out of the bet but @nickvanosdol is in and has confirmed, and so has @hausfath, each for $400. Good luck... I hope I lose! nitter.gq/nickvanosdol/status/17… nitter.gq/hausfath/status/174661…

@givebutter I’m with Emerson PTA in SLC and we’re currently running this fundraising effort: givebutter.com/9Gv46l. But some of the time people using our QR code (from your site) get this weird version of the website instead, can you help us?!?
@RobertGehrke please come to Seize The Initiative! It’s a romantic comedy about democracy, climate action, and sandwiches. Premiering at Great Salt Lake Fringe @GSLFringe July 26 - Aug 4. Since I wrote the play the vanity URL is Yoram-Com.com! @seizeSLC

.@LGHendersonUtah Please come see the premiere of our play Seize The Initiative! July 26 - Aug 4 @seizeSLC @GSLFringe. It's a great fit for #DisagreeBetter, so invite Gov. and Mrs Cox for a double date! (Or bring the kids; it's family friendly.) Details: standupeconomist.com/play/

@phillyvictor I'm trying to reach "Wawa Hoagies" rapper Aaron Out, who you interviewed in 2017. (I'd like to use the song in a play I'm working on.) Can you help? phillymag.com/news/2017/02/2…

Relevant NYT piece for my #fossilfuel bet with @hausfath and @nickvanosdol (nitter.gq/standupecon/status/174…). nytimes.com/2024/04/10/clima…

The stand-up economist has written a play--it's a romantic comedy about carbon tax ballot measures!--and I've launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring it to the stage! It sounds like an April Fools' Day story... but it's true! Read the script and more: kickstarter.com/projects/sta…

Front page headline in today's @sltrib Salt Lake Tribune (not about me, about J.C. Bradbury of @kennesawstate in Georgia). The legislature is unlikely to listen, but what a headline... and above the fold! Article here: sltrib.com/news/politics/202…
Five questions for @bryan_caplan about @AlexEpstein and his book. Thread below, or see my blog post: standupeconomist.com/five-qu…

.@RichardTol do you agree with @AlexEpstein that the IPCC doesn't "seriously consider" CO2 fertilization and its "likely trillion of dollars' worth of crop-growth benefits"? Not my area of expertise, but there are many references to CO2 fertilization in AR5/AR6. Thanks!
@IPCC_CH Just wanted to let you know that the link to the figure on this page appears to be broken: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/figur…
