- Some simple math Pick a random person on Earth in he 1920s That person had a 0.01% chance of dying due to an extreme weather or climate event Now 2020, do the same That person had a 0.00025% chance of dying due to an extreme weather or climate event Risk reduced by 99.75%
- According to latest polls @ShellenbergerMD is running a close 2nd in CA governor's primary I've been friends with Michael for 20 years & respect him and his views If you are in CA, he deserves your vote Please RT
- Climate scientist Michael Mann ordered to pay $477,350.80 in legal fees to two defendents that he sued That's on top of $530,820.21 ordered to pay another defendent All told, counting the penalty for misleading the court, "in bad faith," Mann is out almost $1.1M
- Maybe its just me, but it would seem that it should be much bigger news that 15,000+ peer-reviewed climate research papers published since 2000 are based on a non-existent phenomena & thus are now discredited ...
- Surprise! Ice is rebounding at BOTH poles — climate is more complex than we know

- I learned yesterday that Michael Mann is still contacting hosts of my invited talks and trying to get the talks canceled The Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action at the University of Pennsylvania continues to stain the reputation of climate science
00:00- Holy cow Michael Mann and his lawyers sanctioned for acting in “bad faith” Monetary sanctions to apply
And it just gets worse for Michael Mann, as today judge awards sanctions to Defendants for "expenses they incurred at trial in responding to Dr. Mann and his counsel’s bad faith misconduct." Oof - I can’t get over how egregiously wrong this NYT article is Vulnerability to weather extremes is currently lower than it has ever been - in rich and poor countries — ever! This is one of the most significant science, technology & policy success stories of the past century👍
- London journalist attacks Kenyan farmer who wants Africa to develop with fossil fuels as a “climate denier” Kenya emissions = 18 Mt CO2 UK emissions = 395 Mt CO2 Tone deaf doesn’t really capture this🚨 NEW 🚨 How did this Kenyan farmer become a champion of climate change denial? I have been looking for answers… 🧵
- Apparently you will not hear about this anywhere else🥸 2021 had the lowest global death rate in weather and climate disasters over the period of reliable records, and I’d venture, the lowest in human history. Think about that.
