So I just realized I have a cousin from Russia who is a combination climate science and contemporary music history scholar…

His dissertation was on how the actions of the Beatles kicking their first drummer, Pete Best, out of the band led indirectly to increased global warming. Initially people just read this thesis as an assessment and critique of the Beatles, but people soon realized it was more fueled by vindication than actual academic curiosity. He actually got a glacier named after the drummer in 1991. Before then, he was called a Lennon grad. Now he’s known as a saint of Peter’s berg.
