NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

“It must work because it worked for me.”

Illusions of causality are very powerful personal, anecdotal experiences that can trick many into believing a false reality.

They can also drive the promotion of pseudoscientific health practices.

Use coal for over two centuries. Close the last plant in 2024 and claim 'climate leadership'. Drill the North Sea for oil and gas to near-depletion. Then announce a 'ban' with relaxations to drill more in existing fields. No one does 'climate leadership' like the UK

You commit the appeal to stone fallacy when you dismiss a claim as absurd without giving any reason or evidence. It can show up like “That’s nonsense,” “Be serious,” or “That’s obviously false.” 1/5

Sometimes I really wonder how much science is compromised because of America's inability to look beyond its narrow domestic politics. Can't have normal discussions about vaccine safety and side-effects because anti-vaxxers. Can't discuss multiple drivers of disasters because climate deniers

I would call myself a professional pessimist and "extremely depressed about the future" but god, please stop going into people's mentions to tell them that the law/courts no longer matter or post "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED???" at them, especially so if they are actively engaged in making the world better
