Poll. Have you changed your mind about climate change?

No "Other" option, so need to say "Yes" to "life including man made". Unless somebody has included a maths mistake in their model, which means it's entirely man made. Have fun, having great weather for a change.

Um... It's a 'Private Video'. So, No Comment. You'd need to describe it in outline at least for anything more.

What is her statistical significance measuring? Correlation of climate change (measured how - global temperature records?) with number of Californian wild fires, or intensity of fires? Or both?

Nice video on Milankovitch cycles & associated planetary changes, ice ages etc (13:47 mins):

An interesting & clear discussion.

When I saw it, the video was public, so not sure what is going on, or if Sabine has commented elsewhere.

I wish people wouldn't quote stuff from X on here. It's worthless.

Erm...

Sorry, odysseus2000, but I don't do 'X'. So her reasons for the video's removal are as opaque to me as the removed video.

You can show an hungry person where the food is, but it’s up to them whether they eat it.

Estimates of X value are around $10 billion, not the $44 billion he paid, but not worthless.

Moreover, I now use X for most of my research including climate science, so it’s super valuable to me.

...suddenly a lot more of that stuff makes sense!

[Tedx]

From October 27th 2022 to present date, even after taking into account the recent falls, Musk's $44 billion would be worth about $63 billion if he'd bunged it in an S&P500 tracker. And with Twitter worth about $10 billion now, he's $53 billion notes down.



What a penarse.

Yes, but had he not bought Twitter we may have ended up with a different president who might have decided that Musk was an enemy of the State & thrown him in jail or worse.

$63 billion compared to potential jail time or death, seems like a bargain, especially as X continues to develop influence & power. It would not surprise me if X became the most valuable property in Elon’s portfolio. It was certainly important in getting President Trump elected, which Musk argues has saved democracy.

The decision was his, the paper loss his & he seems happy & is one of the most important advisors in Trump’s cabinet & will likely steer Trump towards renewable energy & electric cars. Woukd he rather have $63b or be where he is now?

The "information" on X is worthless scuttlebutt and worse.

What I’ve learned after 40 years as the Observer’s science editor

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/apr/13/what-ive-learned-after-40-years-as-the-observers-science-editor

Almost as amazing as the knowledge we have gained in the past four decades is the fact that some people continue to deny the damage we are doing to our world

"Anti-science movements have always been with us, of course – from the rise of the flat Earthers to the early establishment of groups opposed to evolution. However, the present trajectory is now ­becoming extremely ­worrying, with the US providing the most ­worrying examples.

“It is undoubtedly political and connected with the rise of the right in the US,” says Sir Adrian Smith, president of the Royal Society. “That is partly because Trump and many Republicans have a major down on elite universities in the US, and these are places where big science takes place.

“On the other hand, the recent rise of rightwing parties in European countries has not been mirrored with abuse of science, and so far the worst of this awfulness has not yet hit the UK. It is not something to take for granted over the coming years, however.”"

It is unhealthy, and does not help the climate change case, for normal scientific disciplines to be ignored in this way. It then devalues other research.
