come on reporters, don't say this. some scientists say this, but there's no consensus on this issue.

feedback loop:

1. cut taxes & regulations
2. rich people become much richer
3. they take their riches to capture politicians
4. go to step 1

On The Climate Brink, I write about the Fermi Paradox, the Drake equation, and climate change. "Where is everybody?"

Global warming is coming a bit early this year.

Calls/emails from reporters asking for a comment on last's years temperature are coming earlier than normal this year. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.

it used to be that having an electric car was unusual and weird. it isn't anymore. that tells you something about the transition in cars that's going on right now.

Another great year-end article about the extreme warmth of 2023, by Raymond Zhong @zhonggg
@ @nytimes

Earth Was Due for Another Year of Record Warmth. But This Warm? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/26/climate/global-warming-accelerating.html?hpgrp=ar-abar&smid=tw-share

Is climate change speeding up? Here’s what the science says.

Ultimately, this is much ado about nothing. If you're about to be hit by a car going 60 mph, it doesn't matter if it's accelerating or not.

From the lyrics of Fall Out Boy's update to We Didn't Start the Fire:

“If you're trying to explain why 2023 is hot and you don't mention climate change, that’s climate denial,” I said.
