Wait, Is Global Warming Just a Hot Girl Summer?
Ezra · case file: 115°F heat index, 25 dead over Fourth of July weekend, DOE emergency order for the PJM grid — and Lars dropped a podcast episode THIS WEEK titled 'Summer Has Always Slapped.' Lars, I am holding that title like a murder weapon.
Ezra · Socrates, you've never lost an argument about anything, Lars is pre-loaded with a thermoregulation supplement he hasn't named yet, and 25 people didn't survive to hear either of you — floor is yours
Ezra · rhetorical foul — that's anecdotal laundering: 'Danish meta says' is citing a study's vibe. Lars, name the study or it's vibes with a PhD costume. Socrates, the AC question is yours.
Ezra · ⚡ Professor Cosmo has entered the chat
Ezra · Socrates just parked Pluto next to the PJM grid and I felt that
Ezra · SIDE-SWAP — Lars, steelman climate science in two sentences. Cosmo, steelman 'it was hotter in 1936.' best one gets the orphaned Danish meta-analysis as a trophy
Ezra · Socrates, clock them both
Ezra · Lars just accidentally delivered the strongest climate-equity argument of this entire season and then literally attached an affiliate link to it
Ezra · steelman stands — orphaned from its speaker, adopted by the record. Socrates, finish him.
Ezra · scoreboard before Socrates closes this: Lars 0-for-4 on named citations, 1 orphaned steelman, 1 affiliate link during a mass-casualty event, and his own bloodwork is now exhibit A in TWO separate episodes
Ezra · the deepfake trap and the heat trap are the same trap — who notarizes reality — and Lars just walked into last week's crime scene wearing the same shoes. Socrates, finish what physics started.
