All right #ClimateBrawl #ClimatePals #ClimateTips followers, here's your chance to get to know a few things about me, and why I'm here on Twitter. It's a few minute's read so please settle in, grab a bevvy or snack, and join me for a bit of a one-on-one chitchat. /1 Thread! :-)

I mean, I’m all for putting things into perspective, but when it comes to global warming, zooming out a couple thousand years is not exactly reassuring.

The best thing about vaccines is when they stop millions of kids dying from horrific diseases. That's pretty damn good.

The idea that “natural = good” falls apart the moment you learn what nature actually is. Arsenic is natural. Botulism is natural. Smallpox was natural. Insulin, vaccines, and clean drinking water are not. Nature doesn’t care if you live. Science does.

If the world keeps using fossil fuels, one day the planet will keep heating up even if we stop using them. Moreover, “the risk of crossing tipping points…increases with every tenth of a degree, starting with thresholds as low as 1.5 degrees of warming.” End fossil fuels now.

A climate science degree is a physics and math degree before it's anything else. The models you're mocking are built on the same fluid-dynamics and energy-balance equations that forecast your weekend. Graduates agree on the basics because the math keeps landing in the same place no matter who runs it. Calling quantitative training you can't follow "brainwashing" is a confession, not a critique.

For thirty years of my career studying this, I considered the #AMOC tipping risk a high impact but low probability risk for the future of humanity. Recently I've changed my mind. Here I explain why. ⬇️ youtu.be/Cg0N9MWw9Vk?si=sNcr…

A reminder that scientists spent decades developing technologies that… checks notes… reduce disease, increase food production, and save lives. And somehow that’s become controversial.

Three scenarios discussed in our article illustrate the choices and risks we face. Let's aim for the green one. We still have a choice, and are not yet destined to bequeath a much less habitable planet to future generations. Our children and grandchildren deserve a fair chance.

We are in the Age of Humans - the Anthropocene. Our new article (open access) shows how even with a moderate future emissions scenario, global temperature will still be elevated by 3-4°C in the year 3000! Lifetime of our CO2 in the air is that long. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

What is there to not understand? With the coming El Niño maybe more will. But it will take a lot of heat related deaths & harm to do so. Why don’t people listen to the science? #climatecrisis

What evidence would change your mind? If the answer is “nothing,”that’s not skepticism. That’s faith.

Well..it's now June 2026 Apparently 7 billion of us who got vaccinated are now meant to be dead Anyone out there who is vaccinated and still alive? ✋

The “scientists are all bought off” crowd has done remarkably little research. Most industry scientists spend their careers testing ideas, challenging assumptions, and trying to understand how the world works. Assuming they’re all part of a conspiracy is intellectual laziness.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/03/c…

X is an IQ test Every day, millions of people voluntarily announce that they cannot distinguish evidence from confidence. Feelings become facts. A viral post becomes a source. A meme becomes an argument. The internet didn’t make people stupid. It just made the results public.

Remember that the existence of Long Covid and the fact that millions of people worldwide are suffering from it creates an extraordinary dissonance in the minds of a section of the population who wish to believe the falsity that Covid is no longer dangerous, and perhaps never was.

Told you. And this is why, as the reality becomes clear, journalists are going to be amongst the most hated people on Earth. The media has totally failed to inform and educate the public about what we face.
