Was great to participate in this. Scientists were arguing up to the deadline about individual sentences, showing the difference in rigor when you care about accuracy, and how non-orthodoxy the “mainstream” actually is. But when comments are open for just 30 days it’s designed to be difficult.
Our comment on the DOE CWG report is done. It tips the scales at 439 pages, approx. 3x longer than the DOE report.
This is related to Brandolini's law: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Example: refuting one sentence.

This is a critical concern for anyone who cares about combatting climate change and facing this existential public health threat. I encourage anyone and everyone to take the opportunity to comment and voice their opposition to the overturning of the GHG Endangerment Finding. This is not a drill!

Trump's EPA is trying to destroy the Endangerment Finding -- the solid scientific conclusion that greenhouse gases are dangerously changing the climate. They've published fake, misleading claims from climate deniers. This will devastate efforts to stop climate change. The EPA comment period is open.

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

This is mind-boggling. While the US deregulates coal plants, defunds anything addressing climate change, & rolls-back the GHG endangerment finding, 6 Republicans have the audacity to write the Ambassador of Canada abt what we are doing to address Cdn wildfires... 🤯

Worth a listen #ILD raised questions for me: 1) how might we calculate risk in these patient - and their families 2) if they are at high risk what intervention/monitoring 3) will there be an appetite to have a easy accessible air quality measure?
