Answers to FAQs:
1) Yes, the sun's output varies slightly
2) Yes, the climate has changed before
3) Yes, we've considered that
4) Physics
5) No, we're not getting rich from this
The answer is still: humans are responsible for nearly all of the warming over the past 150 years

When I hear of refugee families being detained, separated, and refused at our border, I am reminded that my great-grandmother's sister was turned away at our border, only to be sent to Auschwitz. We are repeating our dark past. xitter.cf/Stl_Manifest/status/82…

Great article on the democratization of air quality data. Knowledge is power. Our group is working to make these monitors inexpensive (but still reliable) so that more folks can know what’s in the air they breathe. sciencemag.org/news/2018/04/…
