Lord Toby Young has posted a rehashing of the "CO2 is saturated" meme. It sounds plausible, and some eminent scientists believed it back in history. But we've known for 100 years that the atmosphere isn't saturated with CO2
And one very simple observation shows it beyond doubt.

So, as a new member of the US National Committee for Crystallography, I've been tasked with looking into workforce development. So I'd like to ask you #chemsky peeps how you learned about crystallography? Reply and retweet, I wanna hear from as many of you as possible!

I never normally do this - but got this review today on a paper about XPS fitting of some very topical compounds that literally every paper in the field gets wrong
![Reviewer 2: "I do agree that many papers can be found with bad XPS fits, this is not specific to [this material] but a problem for the field as a whole.... There are estimates that more than half of the published XPS data has significant faults (DOI: 10.1063/5.0086359 . But this is not a topic suitable to [moderate JIF journal in materials chemistry].”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gsymqzdcy2tpxfyzdomwl7xc/bafkreiervzqbnl7flstf3fm7kfplgpqy6h4orbh6p43pk56wgzpqjnl3zi@jpeg)

Today I realised some charities are buying Google ads on other charities web searches, so they appear at the top of the search and presumably steal traffic. Is that really necessary?
