At the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2017, Dolly Parton reunited with her “9 to 5” co-stars, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. Before presenting the award, Fonda and Tomlin went on an anti-Trump rant. Dolly, being classy like she always was, did not participate, just smiled, and deflected it with a joke after the other two were done rambling. Rest in peace, Dolly, we miss ya! 💔

American voters overwhelmingly don’t care about climate change. In a recent Pew Research poll, they found that only 3% of Americans view it as their top issue for the midterm elections. Where does it rank overall? 14th place at the bottom. Biggest issues? The economy (54%) and immigration (28%). Only 39% of American voters say that climate change is a “big problem.” As CNN’s Henry Enten reports, that figure is about the same it was a decade ago (49%).

Here’s a clip from 26-years ago that Bill Nye does not want you to see. 👇 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐍𝐲𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟖: “Carbon is everywhere! Carbon is in every living thing... carbon is even in the air! *exhales carbon dioxide* Carbon is what makes life go! Go! Go!… Carbon is the key to life! You’ve got, got, got to respect that!” 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐍𝐲𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒: “We’ve created this wonderful quality of life for so many people by burning ancient carbon, ancient swamps; coal, oil, gas. We’ve just gotta stop doing that.”

Get a load of this! 🤣 CNN had former children’s science TV show host, Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” on air this morning. After ranting about DOGE and Elon Musk for nearly three minutes, Nye claimed that hurricanes and floods are becoming more frequent, and that forest fires never used to occur in the Carolinas until now. 💬 “[Y]ou can pretend climate isn’t changing, and hurricanes aren’t becoming more frequent, and flooding isn’t more—there’s forest fires in the Carolinas? That didn’t used to be a thing.” Someone should inform Nye about the Clear Pond Fire in mid-April 1976 that seared 30,000 acres in Horry County, or the Gaston Fire in April 1966 that burned nearly 8,000, both of which were larger than the ongoing blaze. Bill Nye is the perfect example of where ignorance collides with arrogance.

This is nothing new. In February 1932, the Winter Olympics were held in Lake Placid, New York. ⛷️ Temperatures topped 50°F on several days in January that year there, and the lack of snowfall preceding the Olympics nearly resulted in its cancellation altogether. The Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states observed high temperatures in the 70s and 80s on multiple days in January and February that year. 🌡️ Some winters are cold and snowy. Some are cold and dry. Others are warm and wet, or warm and dry. It has little to do with long-term climate change. 📰 h/t Tony Heller 🇺🇸 🇯🇵

Governor Ron DeSantis shot down a news reporter today who tried to get him to blame Hurricane Milton on climate change. He didn’t evade it either — he directly answered the question and cited stats to debunk the claim. Oh, and those stats Governor DeSantis cited? They were directly from my analysis of NOAA HURDAT2 data this morning. Trump and Vance should take a page out of his book and sack reporters with data and leave them speechless.

lol This is a crock of crap. Climate “scientists” cannot get their climate models to produce accurate hindcasts of 20th century global mean surface temperature (GMST) observations without having precursory knowledge of 20th century observations to calibrate them to. That's curve fitting, not science. These models also run on circular reasoning. When global climate models (GCMs) are input with the supposedly “established physics” you mentioned, the energy fluxes in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere are not balanced, which causes the models to drift into unrealistic climate states (either too hot or too cold, but usually running too hot). Rather than doing real science to try figuring out why the best physics we have don't yield correct values, scientists simply assume that fluxes were balanced before the Industrial Revolution. They then adjust any uncertain parameters (e.g., clouds and aerosol) to force energy fluxes to balance. It is then assumed that there are no natural pathways that can cause energy imbalance, so modelers input CO₂ forcing, the climate system warms, and they say, “See!? CO₂ caused the warming.” While it may prove that there is at least some effects from CO₂, all else being equal, it in no way, shape or form proves that all of the observed warming is due to CO₂. They assumed it was at the outset, then forced their GCMs to produce that result. That's circular logic, not science. We also know model outputs are just statistical curve fitting because while the GMST response to a forcing has one value, the range of uncertainty in the aerosol contribution to GMST change since 1850 is 1°C. If you take the median of the CMIP6 models shown in Figure 3.8 from IPCC AR6 WG1, the uncertainty is a whopping 125%. If you don’t know that vital piece of information about aerosol forcing, you cannot have any confidence whatsoever in anything else. Arguing with me about this is not going to go well for you, I'm afraid. If you need an explainer that isn't so jargon-filled, Dr. Roy Spencer has a good one in the video below from a presentation he gave on March 3, 2021.

Dean Cain on Newsmax yesterday: 🗨️ “It's scary if you about the fact that she [Wisconsin Secretary of State, Sarah Godlewski] doesn't realize that hail is naturally occurring event. And, actually, my pal Chris Martz, who is a young meteorologist, tore her up on X... If she can't distinguish between weather and climate change, I don't know how she's going to count the votes correctly there in Wisconsin.” cc: Dean Cain

The United Nations’ climate conference, COP30, in Brazil 🇧🇷 begins in less than two weeks. Tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest were felled earlier this year to build a four-lane highway to alleviate anticipated traffic congestion. “Saving the planet.” 🌴🪓

Holy smokes. 🤯 Dr. Steven Koonin, respected physicist and former Obama-era science advisor, obliterated Texas A&M’s Dr. Andrew Dessler at a panel hosted by the Civitas Institute covering the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) climate report published last July. During the Q&A session, Koonin noted that climate models, on average, produce about twice as much warming as observations show (which is a fact when models are tested against independent data that they are not artificially tuned to—that is, fudged to agree with). Koonin went on to say that the scientific community has done a disservice to the public by misleading the masses with exaggerated claims. He argued that this has stunted economic growth in parts of the world and has raised energy prices. Dessler’s response? “Yeah, no, I mean, that’s buIIshit.” Koonin snapped back and told him that he shouldn’t use that kind of language in that setting, especially as a tenured professor at a major university. Dessler replied, “I’m sorry, but it is what it is.” He then spends the next minute tripping over his words trying to spin the DOE report as “misleading,” and its authors as committing “scientific felonies” by not going through “peer-review,” and by omitting information. Koonin, being witty, replied stating that Dessler himself omitted the fact that the quality of life has only improved as the planet as gotten warmer, and that it will continue to do so in the future. * eeemotional damage * Though a federal judge recently ruled that the report was assembled and carried out illegally (a pure political move), the science could still stand and be used to rollback regulations.
