A rare test pressing of Robert Johnson containing an unreleased take of his Crossroad Blues has been uploaded to YouTube a couple days ago by Nick Dellow.

The sound quality is incredible.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.

I’d love to rule out 8.5 impacts too. Surely Roger would agree we should fund NCAR, NSF SBE, etc so we can get to the bottom of this!

Best part is that it’s actually a decent (but with bad intentions) summary of the impacts argument 😂 He’s actually pretty close to getting it!

people may have noticed that @vsrikrish.bsky.social and I worked ourselves into a real tizzy last month over something called "RCP 8.5." Thank you to @progressivereform.bsky.social for giving us space and words to explain why!

TLDR: RCP8.5 is totally useful and not deceptive or misleading actually

In addition to the important science translation you and @vsrikrish.bsky.social achieve, this is such a good example of clear and compelling writing! I learned a lot and will reference this in the future for sure

In which @madisoncondon.bsky.social and I expand on our argument that "extreme" climate scenarios, such as RCP 8.5, are actually useful and we should use them as part of climate risk analyses.

Thanks to @progressivereform.bsky.social for encouraging us and giving us space!

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

This discussion has been difficult to follow. I think at least one key missing aspect is how do these GWP choices affect policies and actual outcomes?

Saw this looking at property prices after Irma in the Fl Keys. Anything built or renovated substantially after the 2005 building code rose in price after the storm but anything built before went down

So dumb - this isn't a problem at all. So sad that they're not smart enough to work on and address important social problems. Maybe if they had a better gen ed background and learned how to think critically in classes like CRT, environmental racism, or EJ!

Wow. Any ideas on how this might translate into spring flooding, especially in mountainous areas of the Northeast?

Thanks for explaining. This reminds me of narrow ways the courts decide on environmental justice cases about waste facilities siting - need to prove discriminatory intent but the EJ perspective includes historical segregation (incl. fair housing violations). Trying to wrap my head around this

Specifically wondering what the "other things" are in "The companies urged lower courts to dismiss the case, arguing among other things that Boulder's lawsuit would illegally interfere with the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act."
