    Hi, I’m a climate scientist. You may know me from my greatest hits including, “No, it’s not a natural cycle,” “Yes, I know it’s been warmer before (and the only reason YOU know is because we scientists told you so),” and “Just because it’s on YouTube doesn’t mean it’s true.”

    You know something's up when there's even a #WomensMarch in Lubbock TX, the 2nd most conservative city in the US. During a dust storm.

    Our 600 page climate report in one tweet: It's real It's us It's serious And the window of time to prevent dangerous impacts is closing fast

    People worry about how much land we'd need to supply the US with clean energy. Well, @elonmusk and I have independently calculated it and we both come up with something roughly comparable to the area we currently use for maple syrup or golf. A square about 100-120 miles per side.

    This map gives you a rough sense of all the ways U.S. land is used. Much of U.S. land serves specific purposes, such as the 2 million acres devoted to golf courses or the 3 million acres for airports.bloom.bg/37XnVYh

    At the hearing for the deputy @NASA administrator today, nominee Jim Morhard was asked by @EdMarkey if he agrees with the scientific consensus that humans are the dominant influence on climate. He said he couldn't say. Well, I'm a scientist, and I can. Here's why. (thread)

    As a female climate scientist, blocking is the only thing that makes my engagement here on Twitter/X possible. Daily, I receive comments that range from disparaging to downright vile. Since Oct, my tweets can attract thousands of trolls (real people) and bots (not real). 🧵

    Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today. First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

    For the gazillionth time: Climate change is not a religion. It is a science. Do I believe in it? No. I look at the data, and the data is clear: it's real, it's us, it's bad, and the time to fix it is NOW.

    Being a scientist, I had to check the math. Turns out it's even worse. You could have made $53,000 (£44,000) a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Shell did in 2022.

    SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

    I wrote the climate scenarios chapter myself so I can confirm it considers ALL scenarios, from those where we go carbon negative before end of century to those where carbon emissions continue to rise. What WH says is demonstrably false.

    Great piece by @yayitsrob Note WH claim assessment was based on the “most-extreme scenario" is untrue. It wasn't based on any one scenario. Much of it described impacts already happening! And the "worse-case" was just the business-as-usual, do nothing approach favored by WH.

    Climate change is real, it’s human-caused, its impacts are serious … and there are solutions if we act now.

    #AustralianWildFires climate denial claims, "it's arson! it's been warmer before! fire's natural!" The truth? Human-induced climate change is a threat multiplier. It takes existing risks + amplifies them beyond imagining, affecting every living thing on this planet: including us.

    Replying to @KHayhoe
    As Isaac Asimov said in 1980: "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
