You can’t reason with unreasonable people.

I need an edit button. My intended BUT… I intended to publicize, but time got away from me (and words, they got away from me too).

My super awesome colleague @oceanandclimate published a great paper in science this week. And, he helped do my intended day late and a $ short publicity. So, my summary is read it! Good stuff!

Today, we published a study long in the making on how upper and subsurface tropical Pacific waters responded (and maybe will adjust) to warmer global climate. Here’s the story of how we got here after 15 years. many authors but shout out @jfarmersalmanac.bsky.social

Persistent eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean upwelling since the warm Pliocene

Upwelling generates a nutrient-rich “cold tongue” in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean (EEP), with impacts on global climate, oceanic biological productivity, and the carbon cycle. The cold tongue ...

Sorry didn’t mean the two ands, but I was excited to share :)

Yes. Lots of them are actually the features we see today and and others can be seen in geophysical records from the continental shelves (remember, sea level was lower). Tons of examples in the literature.

I have achieved the impossible and got my COVID booster in Florida. The CVS pharmacist said “we have tons, and we can’t give them to anyone.” She also said that doctors are super frustrated and asking if they can call in one script for all of their patients, but the CVS system can’t handle that…

I don’t have this issue with my electric car ;)

Amelia Shevenell @ashevenell.bsky.social · 23d

So, how do we get out of this. I’m reading history to try to understand how but any insights from experience and I’m all ears

Amelia Shevenell @ashevenell.bsky.social · 23d

Yeah my mom has the same experience but I’ve heard it’s not the hearing aids but cognitive decline that makes hearing the words more difficult. Audiologist checks are key.

Hope it’s not Covid like our house. Just my husband so far but we are all quarantined in separate HvAC systems now.
