“The studies imply that estimated life expectancy [in Gaza has fallen by more than 35 years, to half the pre-war figure. In percentage terms…bigger than…during China’s Great Leap Forward; in absolute terms it is similar to the one in the Rwanda genocide”
How much of Gaza is left standing?
Analysis by independent researchers reveals the scale of the destruction

A bunch of climate scientists, myself included, are currently devoting hours of unpaid and un-rewarded labor to fact-check the DOE’s mountain of bullshit for exactly this reason. They are engaged in a political project that demands explicit pushback.
That's it, man. If you've been paying attention to the right-wing apparatus and how it uses social media, it's really obvious:

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

Really appreciate your work, Michael, but I think this is an overstatement. Entire areas of Alzheimer’s research have been found to be based on fabricated research. I think calling scientific critique of shoddy science a right-wing op pushes the pendulum too far back in the other direction

mRNA vaccines are so close to magic as to be basically indistinguishable, and the administration is stopping them because they worship death.
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced the beginning of a coordinated wind-down of its mRNA vaccine development activities...."
