@ericmbudd which is why separating land use and design considerations into different bodies might be good… in reply to ericmbudd 20:13:23, 2014-10-02

It does seem like lots of discontent bubbling. Prospect of political chaos is both frightening and exciting. @OpenBoulder @ABetterBoulder 19:09:33, 2014-10-01
Lots of talk about @boulderosmp access. Is this a constituency of convenience? Or a core issue. Interesting either way… 19:05:56, 2014-10-01
Kyle from Boulder Ventures on the economic value of the @boulderosmp as an attractor for talent, quality of life, need for access. 19:02:02, 2014-10-01
Danica Powell at @OpenBoulder speaking about the need for Boulder not to be "frozen in time", but vital, evolving. 18:58:57, 2014-10-01

RT @JustinWolfers: The problem with the joke about the Efficient Markets Hypothesis is that I assume you've already heard it. 17:05:21, 2014-10-01
@drgrist @WesternMEM I frame it that way in every talk I give. Definitely yields some furrowed brows, blank stares. http://t.co/LldmjZs3Yi in reply to drgrist 14:24:12, 2014-10-01
.@WesternMEM @drgrist Also totally agree on the bottom-up approach, and think it begins at the city scale, e.g. @c40cities. in reply to WesternMEM 14:12:40, 2014-10-01
RT @jonathanshainin: My favorite American holiday is the annual unveiling of our new enemy. http://t.co/PHCJR5OqZk 14:06:07, 2014-10-01
.@WesternMEM @drgrist Even without social carbon costs… because of unknowable future fuel/energy costs, localized health impacts, etc. in reply to WesternMEM 14:05:37, 2014-10-01
.@WesternMEM @drgrist If we go with @LongNow style discounting & @nntaleb style risk aversion, climate action is a financial no-brainer. in reply to WesternMEM 14:00:45, 2014-10-01
.@WesternMEM @drgrist And both of those variables are essentially philosophical questions: What kind of civilization do we want to be? in reply to WesternMEM 13:58:32, 2014-10-01
.@WesternMEM @drgrist I think we need to stop seeing climate action as a cost. Low discount rates & high risk aversion change the calculus. in reply to WesternMEM 13:57:09, 2014-10-01
@WesternMEM Dude, yer double tweeting. in reply to WesternMEM 13:32:08, 2014-10-01

“There is no evidence that X is caused by Y.” is a very different statement than “There is evidence that X is not caused by Y.” #LeSigh 09:16:28, 2014-09-29
