A study in Nature shows that the earliest known ankylosaurs had uniquely elaborate body armour, including a spiky ornament on their tail. These extreme armour features are unlike those of any other vertebrate, including other ankylosaurs later in their evolutionary history. #Paleosky 🧪

The ankylosaurian dinosaur Spicomellus afer possessed a tail weapon and uniquely elaborate dermal armour.

The DOE scam climate report tries to deny the obvious observed fact that sea-level rise has been accelerating.

I checked the claim of the DOE report that sea level is rising at a lower rate than predicted by IPCC: it is false.
For 2030, the IPCC AR6 predicts a best estimate 9-10 cm relative to 1995-2014 (Table 9.9).
The satellite data show a rise of 74 mm until 2025. At this rate that will be 93 mm by 2030.

Despite being extremely common, headaches are still something of a neurological mystery. In his new book, journalist @tomzellerjr.com shares his own experience with debilitatingly painful cluster headaches, and chronicles his journey to uncover the science behind this “most confounding affliction.”

In “The Headache,” a science journalist documents his quest to understand his own cluster headaches.

The US government DOE report repeats lies about sea-level rise not accelerating. But the data show acceleration: locally and globally. Reason: ice melts faster the warmer it gets.
You can check this with ice cubes from your freezer.
Do media ask for corrections?

That's just one of many instances of distortion and misinformation in the US Department of Energy "Critical Review on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions".
Which in fact is a fossil fuel propaganda scam.
Let's hope Americans are not that easily fooled.

Das Video von @sci-ffert.bsky.social bringt eine klare Message rüber: Wir müssen die CO2-Emissionen auf Null bringen. Eine Reduktion um 1/4, 1/2 oder 3/4 reicht nicht, weil dann die Konzentration in der Atmosphäre immer weiter steigt.
Weg von fossilen Energien!

Wow, that is quite a clever deception to downplay sea-level rise in the DOE climate report.
You have to read the vertical axis label in their graph and understand what “trailing trend” means.
