  1. this sounds like a simple way to calculate reparations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollute... : you break a window. you pay for the damage. #agw #clmate The US Has Already Caused $10 Trillion in Climate Damages—and the Math Gets Worse gizmodo.com/the-us-has-a...

  2. The rate of global warming is accelerating considerably, to 0,35 degree C in the last 10 years, while it was limited to 0,2 degree C per decade between 1970 and 2015. This shows, once more, that climate scientist do certainly not exaggerate the effects of #AGW in any way. #climatecrisis #newstudy #climatescience

  3. Having fought climate denial around 2009, I kept saying that 'the left' is not necessarily smarter; it's just that #agw does not fit the conservative mindset. #ai does that for the other side. Source: The left is missing out on AI www.transformernews.ai/p/the-left-i...

  4. Narrator: it took less than 25 years for nobel winner Svante Arrhenius (ancestor of Greta Thunberg) to suggest CO2 emissions could disrupt the planet.

  5. An interesting analysis of Carney-Smith agreement, from @maxfawcett, who sees two big climate crisis wins hidden amongst frustrating choices. I hope this is accurate.

  6. huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.

    But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.

    It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.

    It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.

    Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

    Edit: Google Maps has a photo! Added here… of the four cornered boundary monument!

    Edit2: Legislative confirmation of the four corners is in the Nunavut Act 1993, first line of Schedule 1 Section 3: “Western Boundary of Nunavut”:

    “Commencing at the intersection of 60°00′N latitude with 102°00′W longitude, being the intersection of the Manitoba, Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan borders;””
