A recent article suggests that the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere is caused by the influence of temperature on natural systems, rather than fossil fuels. But it's a glaring mistake, like confusing the brake with the accelerator. Find out why here: skepticalscience.com/hens-and-egg...

Love when @climateofgavin.bsky.social gets sassy.
“It’s just Anthony Watts. It’s one guy who keeps repeating himself every decade,” said Schmidt, who is a climate modeler. “I mean, it’s like he has one talking point, and he keeps talking about it. Almost nobody else is talking about it.”

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, there is no easy means to provide "targeted" information to wrong answers via the Google form. The quiz via the form initially was an "add-on" to the presentation where the quiz is done interactively in a group. In that scenario, explanations are possible.

I used to think it was no big deal that my postdoc research on climate at Princeton was funded by BP, but now I see it as BP's effort to burnish its reputation and influence research. On balance, taking fossil fuel funding is a net negative and this kind of research should be government funded.
