The next National Climate Assessment will be written by five climate deniers and an AI in a trench coat.
I look forward to the legally required, transparent peer review process required by the US Global Change Research Act and the Information Quality Act. I always thought they would try to do a NCA with Judith Curry, five old men and a LLM.
It’s the gold standard of US climate research. Contrarians could write the next one.
Researchers who have downplayed the threat of global warming have been asked to author the next National Climate Assessment.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

In a new article over at Carbon Brief, I explore why the past three years – 2023, 2024, and 2025 – have been exceptionally warm. The main culprits turn out to be a combination of El Nino and internal variability, declining aerosols, and a strong solar cycle: www.carbonbrief.org/...

Imagine if you could power a server farm that’s 100 to 1000 larger than the current largest server farm running a neural net structure using about a gallon of water and 0.003 kw/h of energy per day.
That’s a single human brain.
What am I missing in contextualizing this with AI?

Those seeking pardons through official channels have watched while Trump grants pardons to people who never entered the system at all.
“If you’re just an average citizen, you can’t even get in the line,” one lawyer said. “I told my guy he’d probably be better off if he broke into the Capitol.”

How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA
There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.
