1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.

Reaching net-zero means we could *just about* allow a 25% passenger growth. Yet airport expansion plans add up to more than 60%. Airports are totally disregarding climate policy.
