Thanks for the details.

Baylor Fox-Kemper @baylorfk.bsky.social · 3d

Not my intent.

Baylor Fox-Kemper @baylorfk.bsky.social · 3d

I'm sorry if I offended by using a list that included you, but it included you with no publications that sort.

Baylor Fox-Kemper @baylorfk.bsky.social · 3d

I actually don't know. I find your published papers to be interesting and take down sacred cows. I always recommended my students take your classes.

Not sure; in this specific instance you can ask James L. Powell...

This is an underappreciated aspect of peer review. It is a structured way to hash out the details in slow, thoughtful time.

Corollary: The number of climate skeptic peer-reviewed papers is small (skepticalscience.com/peerreviewed...), while climate change science PRPs are growing exponentially.

The more I think about it, the more I incline to the opinion that the most important thing of all is not to lose hope and faith in life itself.
Anyone who does so is lost, regardless of what good fortune may befall him. And so, from the bottom of my heart, my New Year's wish is that you not lose your hope, faith and ability to delight in the world-even if the world is the way it is. If you can manage that, everything else will come; if you give in, nothing can help you.

For me, a highlight of the year was getting to know you a little and work on a paper together. Happy New Year!

And as for the matter of the alleged uncleanliness of our business, ye shall soon be initiated into certain facts hitherto pretty generally
unknown, and which, upon the whole, will triumphantly plant the sperm whale-ship at least among the cleanliest things of this tidy earth. -- Melville

Butchers we are, that is
true. But butchers, also, and butchers of the bloodiest badge have been all Martial Commanders whom the world invariably delights to honor.

Baylor Fox-Kemper @baylorfk.bsky.social · 7d

Doubtless one leading reason why the world declines honoring us
whalemen, is this: they think that, at best, our vocation amounts to a
butchering sort of business; and that when actively engaged therein, we
are surrounded by all manner of defilements.

NCAR folks, especially folks who are currently here at AGU -- I know it's a really tough day amid a week that was supposed to be about celebrating science. Would be interested in how you're feeling and how this has affected your week and your presentations. I'm on Signal @chelseaeharvey.01

I just called our Rhode Island congressional delegation. Do your part!

Henri F. Drake @henrifdrake.bsky.social · 9d

I just called on my senators ( @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov ) and my congressman ( @congressmin.bsky.social ) to save NCAR from being dismantled by Trump. NCAR saves lives, strengthens the economy, and benefits our nation in countless ways.

Do your part!

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Everyone always asked why I moved to landlocked Colorado to do oceanography. Because it was the world's largest concentration of climate scientists. Because of NCAR and NOAA.

In Boulder, fewer are alarmists; they are overwhelmingly problem solvers.

NCAR's science is patriotic. Vought is not.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life and supercharged my ability to do science. NCAR's unique community nature makes it a global node in atmospheric and climate research. It's really not possible to overstate its value for science and society.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.
