To me, the most astounding part: why would so many cheer Dessler's poor performance against the best science? Could it be that scary stories are more important to many than following the best science?

Dessler claims that I cherry-pick in two ways: 1. I pick an "unusual metric" Really? I use the metric chosen by EPA and the two metrics chosen by US Climate Assessment No, Dessler, cherry-picking is making up your own graph, badly https://twitter.com/AndrewDessler/status/1429099400454975501 …pic.twitter.com/SSyBbtpGr6

Dessler claims that I cherry-pick in two ways: 2. I only look at the US That is just silly. So the entire US Climate Assessment, which only looks at the US is cherry-picked? Of course, the US is a relevant topic. https://twitter.com/AndrewDessler/status/1429099400454975501 …pic.twitter.com/WaHWIoqQIq

After I engaged with Dessler, he produced multi-day graphs (thx) But still vague (he says min, but insist max), don't replicate EPA and US Climate Assessment and not replicated by HadEX3 (IPCC) https://twitter.com/PatrickTBrown31/status/1429215612597792770 … https://twitter.com/AndrewDessler/status/1429133743483146245 …pic.twitter.com/G3mXDyqnKH

Just to clarify: Climate change is real, man-made+problem Carbon taxes+green innovation smart Globally and future, heatwaves will increase, coldwaves decrease But scaring us witless with bad information is unlikely to lead to smart policies

If you believe the first three statements, and you know that your selection of graphs have been and will be widely used to mislead people to mistakenly believe the opposite, then why do you produce and circulate them?

Because I also believe the fourth statement — scaring people witless doesn't lead to smart policies When EPA and UN Climate Assessment both say heatwaves max in 1930s, is it okay — for the cause — to claim otherwise?

As you know, there are thousands of technically true statements that are misleading. Making it your goal to widely circulate such statements when you know that many people will be misled about climate change getting worse seems pedantic at best, and disingenuous at worst.

Sorry, I have a hard time decoding your tweet — could you just clarify what specific point you think is "technically true" but "misleading"?

You show a chart of a one particular measure of heat not getting worse. Many people will believe that this outweighs the mountain of evidence that global warming is getting worse. It's like graphing how "millions of vaccinated people have died" so anti-vaxxers will misuse it.

Thx Try read US Climate Assessment 6.1.2 Temp Extremes, two main points: coldwaves down, heatwaves still way below 1930s Most say heatwaves in US unprecedented (incl Dessler): 1) false 2) scares millions of kids+adults Disagree that's OK to disseminate for 'greater good'

Maybe just include something akin to your last tweet alongside the graph. I've seen many people use your work to "show" that climate change is not getting worse. You must know that and should be interested in avoiding that. (And. yes, others also mislead people.)

Deniers gonna deny.. Lomborgs using EPA does not make him a denier, he shows the facts. Not always all of them;) but this time it's hard to blame him for using EPA and national climate assessment
