I wonder when so-called "progressives" (who often behave like "regressives") will realize that they are the reason Trump got elected, Pollievre is way ahead in Canada & Rustad came out of nowhere to nearly win the last BC election. Their inability to engage in dialogue & their vocal disdain for anyone who doesn't agree with them is no different from the behaviour of the alt right folk they so deeply despise. Regular folk are fed up with their virtue signalling, identity politics, and do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do hypocrisy. Can we please get back to basics and start calling people in and bringing people with you. #bcpoli

I moderated a panel on Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (sunlight reflection) for @SOSV's digital climate conference on behalf of @CipherNews. It was an absolutely FASCINATING discussion with @DKeithClimate, @orbuch, & @jpasztor and is well worth a listen: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

I’m speaking on a panel this Thursday (3pm PT) about Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI). SAI is a potential approach to reducing global warming, and AI climate modeling has an important role to play in understanding its impact. I look forward to discussing the atmospheric science and social/political factors of SAI with @chrfield @DKeithClimate @DougMacMartin and Simone Tilmes. Please register here to join us! bit.ly/stanford-sai-panel

The turn from the future in the 1970s is incredibly important and, I have found, hard to analyse in a satisfying manner.

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion. I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

An open letter seeking more discussion of doing research into solar radiation management. Yes, it's risky - but is it more risky than not doing the research? I've signed the letter. Read and decide for yourself: call-for-balance.com/

Replying to @DanielLawler @juliettecollen @physorg_com
1. The study shows a large rise in "non-disruptive" studies, but no substantial change in "disruptive" studies. This is consistent with my anecdotal observations of increased publication of inconsequential "micro-advances". No evidence of slowing of breakthroughs. 1/n
