As with a lot of things...depends. There may be a sweet spot whereby productivity is actually enhanced somewhat because plants can actually prefer more diffuse (rather than direct) radiation, and an overall cooler globe might be more beneficial for the productive tropical regions where most of the current…

No, Scientists Didn’t Just Suggest We ...

You’ve upset Ed Hochuli’s arms...

So if reporters “have no clue” and outside experts have “bias” then who the hell should the public listen to...partisan policy makers and pundits?

Even if I were to concede that journalists need to be neutral (I prefer fair and accurate as the target, instead of journalists bending over backwards to give air time to people blatantly misrepresenting science out of some fear that they need to appear “neutral” or “objective,” but I digress), that means that we are…

GOP gunna GOP.

...Reagan?

Thanks for explaining further. I was thrown off by your wording, but was aware that often times environmental groups push back against certain management tools using other regulatory pieces like the ESA, etc. Since the end result is usually that decisions get tied up in courts I can imagine the people on the ground…

Ingraham or McHenry? Could also be Tammy Lasagna but she isn’t even nominated.

Very cool study...although from a map standpoint, I cannot concentrate on which greens and reds are for which gain/loss patterns. I imagine they’re virtually impossible to discern for anyone with R-G colorblindness.

Thank you for the article. However I guess I was asking based on your statement that there are environmentalists who don’t think controlled burns are “natural.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but that hasnt been the norm for a very long time both in forest management and environmentalist circles. Even the big groups…

Remind me, which party’s entire ethos has been to slash the budgets of state and federal agencies in charge of maintaining the lands where fires have been burning?

“Some environmentalists believe that controlled burns are also not natural, so they shouldn’t be part of our management practices.”

It’s hard to say since down ballot races don’t receive nearly as much attention, and when the margins are this thin, it only takes a relatively small amount of people to either not vote for a certain race (whether it be ballot design or a conscious choice) or the increasingly rare split-ticket vote to go for her and…

Does anyone think that everyone who won on Nov 6 with a (d) next to thier name was a Sanders or a Ocasio-Cortez?

Actually don’t quote me on the $2 million figure. I may have gotten my wires crossed on the specific fundraising numbers. My mistake.

Why even bother supporting candidates in the general election? What does their support even entail?

I’m biased because I enjoy their podcasts/shows. But like most normal people, I can divest my personal politics from the hosts’ as I certainly do not agree with everything they say. I listen mostly to get some insider insight on how campaigns/administrations usually function and to hear from the numerous candidates…

What a piece of shit

Lewis is also a blatant homophobe who just lost to a lesbian woman which is just *chef’s kiss*
