also stop calling us "mainstream scientists" like there's a cooler bunch of hipster scientists out there

but apparently the restaurant had difficulty with the concept. We arrived on time but were told it would be a 30 minute wait. We left, confident we could find another option. We finally did find one: the *fifth* restaurant we tried was able to seat us; everything else was 'you can sit at the bar'.

This "downtown is dead" thing drives me crazy. Sure, there are issues, but I was just telling someone about our dinner reservation adventure on a cold cold day in March this year. We had reservations at a restaurant

I'm sure, though, that women will be lining up to meet "the Warthog", intuitions of impending doom be damned.

The economic sense is so extremely in favour of renewables now, Pakistan is even paying Qatar penalties to rather NOT deliver the fossil gas that Pakistan already placed orders for, because their Solar PV and batteries make much more sense.

It saves them money to cancel their gas imports and pay!

Just heard from someone today who thought she had to give up cycling because of some health challenges. She and her husband bought e-bike, however, which they ride “everywhere”, which really means everywhere they feel safe, which really means protected lanes and cycle paths.

"As long as the costs [of fossil fuels] remain socialized while the benefits are privatized, the market alone will not lead to the optimal level of deployment of clean energy technologies."

What about "technology will solve it"? "Technology" has made renewables cheaper but it has also done the same for fossil fuels. And

"[h]oping that clean energy will be absolutely cheaper than fossil fuels at a scale needed to decarbonize our energy system is a gamble – and one with loaded dice ..."

"Due to the combination of these uncertainties, its possible that we think we are heading for 2.7C warming and actually end up at 3.7C ... if we roll 6s on the proverbial climate dice. And we won’t know precisely how sensitive the climate is ... until its too late to avoid where we are headed."

"Even if we knew future emissions precisely, the warming in 2100 remains highly uncertain. It depends both on the sensitivity of the climate to our increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations ... and how the carbon cycle responds to both our emissions and the changing climate."

"But focusing on these precise temperature outcomes in 2100 is problematically reductionist. Our emissions are just one of three factors that will determine the future warming of the planet"

If you find out, let me know. I biked the Hunter lane daily for a long time (from its opening until a few months ago), but I turned on and off Hughson, and so I don't think I counted, ever.

"particularly where there was not a reckoning for these funds in the respondent’s shareholder’s loan account"

CRA: "No reckoning for these funds in the sh loan account. Interesting."
