A great Twitter thread from Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.

🧵If you were ever curious about the effects of RCP8.5 on home runs . . .

Great example of how climate reductionism is itself causing bad science . . .


There is an obvious control group, AAA baseball (completely ignored in this new paper)

And home runs are down in AAA

Maybe climate change only has effects in the major leagues?

Silly science is still fun!

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
