I want to boost this point and my video for the science community here because several legit sci comm influencers have shared this pseudoscience in the last few days

Instead share #RealArchaeology and talk to real archaeologists before sharing fake archaeology stories 🧪🏺📗 #AncientBlueSky
My impromptu video on new stupid claims under Giza is my third video to reach 20,000 views in first 24 hours

It is fueled by thousands of clicks from Google searches

We have to provide good info for the public when they are searching for it to combat disinformation

How do 'middle-aged' trees cope with a sharp shift in CO2 levels? Last month I headed to an oak forest in Staffordshire (UK), home to one of the world's largest outdoor climate experiments, to find out

Can we rely on forests to soak up the extra CO2 in the atmosphere?
A patch of old oak trees in the UK is helping scientists to predict how the world’s forests will respond to higher levels of carbon dioxide, a crucial question for our future climate

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way.

Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."
Government is busy: but the media are not telling you
Despite what the press tells us, the government is very busy, often doing popular things. But you wouldn’t know it from the press coverage

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.
