This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”
Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

The bottom line on EPA's effort to overturn the #endangerment finding?
It's purely a political argument cloaked in false, misleading, dishonest scientific language, because actual #climate science unambiguously supports the conclusion greenhouse gases are dangerous to the climate and society.

Good summary
I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report "A critical review of the impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the U.S. climate". Here are some initial thoughts. More will come later.

Good summary
That farce of a DOE report “Asserts that CO2-induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation policies could prove more detrimental than beneficial.”
I know it’s just a product of who wrote the report but I’m so sick of this.

MAC upsets are a treasured college football tradition. Will they go extinct in the new era?
With so many advantages, Power 4 programs have no excuses for losing to a team from the MAC. That will be truer than ever this year.

The press acts as if “higher education” = Harvard. But a more interesting and gutsier stand is being taken in the heartland by schools that have a lot more going for them than football.
