twitter won't die financially. authoritarian countries will prop it up forever. until twitter ceases to be a valuable commodity for their troll farm efforts. and that depends upon us leaving it

In 1896, Swedish Nobel laureate Svante Arrhenius was the first to calculate how much #globalwarming a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere would cause. Today we call that "climate sensitivity" and it is in the range 2.5 - 4°C (IPCC). From a lecture I gave in Helsinki last year.
