In Lysenkoing away scientifically determined constraints to seemingly offer greater total resource use, ecomodernists & green growthers, practice a deeply dishonest politics. They lie about its durability and about its future costs.

We might as well cite her...

Our main approach to multiple biosphere crises
(aka 'green growth')
suffers from carbon tunnel vision.

It is itself a form of science denial
that could be called 'Climate Lysenkoism'

Sadly, it is also a form of
Cryptic Climate Apartheid.

This is a good useful thing and also a good reminder that ALL PRESS PASSES ARE FAKE. The first amendment is the only press pass you need in the USA.

While still slowly unfolding in our minds that we're above 1.5°C, it's time to read Jag Bhalla…Idea Trader/Thought Plumber to knock the discourse back on track.

the actual encampment at Columbia—i'm here after teaching my final class of the semester—is downright tranquil, impossibly sweet. there is a 'nut zone' for the safety of kids with allergies.

To supply low-carbon power to a grid via nuclear, solar, wind, or grid batteries, how much material must we dig up to build those power plants?
Answer: far less than for fossil fuels, with nuclear needing the least mining. New Breakthrough report by my team:

As NYU Journalism faculty-I'm noting that:

Here is a student journalist who appears to have been pepper sprayed by the NYPD

and is NOT being cared for or protected by:

1. The NYPD
2. NYU administrators b/c they invited NYPD
3. Campus 'safety' b/c they worked w/NYPD

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

This guy is a more effective communicator than 95% of left-wing electeds. Connecting the moral purpose of Palestine solidarity protests with his values as a father 🫡

Health, not economics, should have been the focal point of climate research, reporting and policy, including in IPCC reports, from the start. Sadly it's still a huge gap, and we will all pay the price.

Jared Kannel, a Jewish student taking part in the Gaza encampment at Columbia Uni, tells TRT World that he feels '100% safe”' and that US officials are trying to evade Israel’s war crimes by focusing on 'anti-Semitism' on college campuses

It is extremely hot in Gaza right now. They have no air conditioning, no fans, no ice, no cold drinks—just suffocating heat & bombs being dropped on them.

Blackouts could trigger an extreme heat Katrina: A study last year estimated that if power went out in Phoenix for two days during a heat wave, 789,600 people would require emergency department care and 12,800 people would die.

No matter if you love or hate Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), I think it is quite fair to say that it is one technology which has never lived up to expectations...
