Shadows of the past in Alviso, which one of my key informants described as once being the “bread basket” of the Bay Area, which included a lot of groundwater pumping and subsidence that puts them below sea level

FUSEE is an interesting advocacy org (with really good name) that pushes for ecological fire management. Their comment letter on rescission of roadless rule is good. fusee.org

I’m not a California voter, but if I was I would be voting for Tom Steyer—a genuine climate hawk.

Wildfire detection and AI appear to be good friends. The question of how often we should let fire burn is separate and especially contentious this drought year. apnews.com/article/ai-w...

Anecdotally, the biosketch issue with "climate change" is real and has put grants on hold, which is awesome given that one out of one papers I have in the journal Nature have that phrase in the title

Why did we out compete Neanderthals? Social networks!!! www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

New study claims that climate change and competition with H. Sapiens alone are not sufficient to explain why Neanderthals went extinct while Sapiens flourished. Sapiens’ stronger, more flexible social networks better equipped them to survive times of crisis, they claim. 🧪 🌱🐋

Very dangerous legislation to monitor in Congress. States and cities are the last line of defense against climate change, which is already extremely expensive and that expense will only grow if left unabated: www.eenews.net/articles/sen...

The Delta Stewardship council just denied the Delta Conveyance project on the basis of two Delta plan policies. Conveyance project is the most controversial and biggest in the State. I think these 2 issues will be addressed. deltacouncil.ca.gov/pdf/covered-...

In graphic above you have classic coordination game with symmetric payoffs. Both players want to coordinate and their are two equlibria (Twitter and Bsky) because once at the equilibrium there is no reason to move; hence, stable. Pre-Elon, Twitter was pretty stable.

Lee Zeldin has spent 15 months dismantling the EPA from within. Repealed every federal climate regulation since 2009. Fired 1,000+ scientists. Stopped counting human lives in pollution rules. Link below. #EarthDay #EPA #ClimateChange #FossilFuels open.substack.com/pub/chrisglo...

My 2 cents: "Without adaptation, extreme heat will cut crop & livestock yields, forcing more land into agriculture to maintain food production. That would drive even higher emissions from land use change, which in turn would make climate impacts on agriculture even worse..." 1/2

CA has some of the highest wildfire-driven forest losses in the world, yet reforestation efforts fall far behind the rate of loss, a @ucdavis.bsky.social study finds.🔥🌲 🌎https://www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news/wildfire-driven-deforestation-rates-california-among-highest-world

As I argue in Saving Ourselves, a president like Trump might be just the shot-in-the-arm folks need to push us to do the hard work of systemic change. This piece by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social makes a similar argument using the extremely unpopular war in Iran. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Listening to today’s Daily on this article, I don’t get the sense the reporters understand the absurdity of Roberts’ claim about a regulation to reduce coal to ~25-30% of power generation by 2030.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly. We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

Convergence of climate change and market economics is spelling trouble for Napa wine country www.wine-searcher.com/m/2026/04/na...

So fitting that the birth of the worst chapter of the US Supreme Court was the justices tripping over themselves to stop climate action. Welcome to the list of the great monsters of history, John Roberts.

Steadily increasing global temperatures has led to Japan creating a new term for "cruelly hot" or "kokusho-bi". The warming climate has also led to wider use of the term aridification and megadrought (the US is in the 27th year of a SW megadrought). www.djournal.com/news/nationa...

The hockey stick's blade is getting longer. Global temperatures over the past 2000 years. Temperatures over the past 30 years were 0.75 warmer than the 1901-2000 average. Warmer than at any time during the past 2000 years.
