    47:58 "there's a lot of plants and animals that live in very narrow ecological niches, that are defined in large part by temperature and precipitation. And as the world warms, there is going to be potentially catastrophic impacts in a lot of these ecosystems."

    10:08 "the US has always had challenges converting rhetoric into reality, simply by the fact that our politics is very sclerotic"

  3. The Westport Observatory's USGS seismic equipment picked up the big M 7.5 earthquake near Neiafu, Tonga this morning. Want to know more about earthquakes — particularly those here in New England? Alan Kafka visits us in April to talk about them!

    "My job is to scare the pants off of people, but to do so constructively in a way that actually improves the path we're on. It's critically important to be honest about where we are and also the uncertainties regarding where we're heading."

    On solar power: "People would do that because they are economically driven that way."
    "Is it enough? No."
    (We also need #EmissionReduction and #srm )

    On #geoengineering: "Relative risk evaluation."
    "We need to get started and then improve the approach over time. It's well less risky then going forward without doing that."

  6. 🚀 Tonight - 8PM at the Westport Observatory: Yale’s Dr. Larry Gladney joins us in person for “A Survey for the Ages”—a fast, mind-bending tour of the Vera Rubin Observatory’s LSST and the 10-year mission to build the ultimate time-lapse movie of the Universe.
