New preprint: Climate Research Agendas Should Account for Anticipated AI Risks. I argue that AI timelines are shorter than climate timelines and since climate research is unique in focusing on such long horizons, this requires some adjustments from climate folks.

Our new study* finds wildlife support 2/3 of nature's contributions to people, from hunting and fishing to art and music to birds eating crop pests. #Biodiversity & #conservation must include animals! Read more: wecanfixit.substack.com/p/localize * @beckyck.bsky.social, @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social

Great resource for those tracking EV uptake

Love how it's formally called "Congestion Relief Zone." Words matter.

"The timing is brutal for a potentially climate-friendly new industry that had hoped to start competing with conventional meat in 2025." What happens when the cultivated meat industry meets Trump 2.0? @mikegrunwald.bsky.social tackles that question below, feat. @chefsuzigerber.bsky.social:

To test this, we ran a survey experiment on a nationally representative sample of 6,000 people in the U.S. We elicited ethical beliefs, provided info about either a new conventional, cultured or veg substitute, showed a video clip about factory farming, & re-elicited beliefs. 6/

Does technology affect ethical beliefs? Some have argued that ethical beliefs are nested in culture, and culture can be affected by one's economic environment. 1/

How do carbon taxes affect food prices? In our latest paper, @dr_jen_winter and I analyze both direct and indirect impacts across the entire food supply chain: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5024885 It's the most detailed exploration of CTaxes and food yet! 🤓 #cdnecon #cdnpoli

Check out our new open-access paper! We surveyed 211 IPCC authors, finding most authors are doubtful that warming will be limited to the Paris targets of well below 2°C www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Postdoc opening! We're looking for someone with a marine ecology or from climate backgrounds to work with us on research related to marine heatwaves and other climate extremes. It's a chance to work in a very interdisciplinary setting: simondonner.com/post-doctora...
