Great op-ed response to Califorina lethally removing 4 wolves from a pack that killed 87 (!!) cows in just 6 months. We need to learn how to manage conservation success, including abundance of carnivores recovering. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/o...

Great thread on what role climate change played in #HurricaneMelissa, and the importance of getting the nuance in this story right.

I've been hearing about Rainmaker a bit recently, great article here on what's actually possible re: cloud seeding

"You can put solar panels on anything that stands still long enough"- my favorite quote from this amazing solar thread!!!

My organization is hiring a new position, State Policy Manager (multi-state, not just Montana, to be clear!). www.perc.org/careers/stat...

Perfect summary

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*. Instead, they DROPPED exponentially. Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

It feels like the "asset theory of everything (climate)" really explains this pattern well...Europe and US have way more powerful climate-forcing asset owners flexing their power www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

If you care about affordability, you should care about climate... and vice versa. #PoliciesOfPlenty #GreenSky #EnergySky "The average American born in 2024 will likely face up to $500K in additional lifetime costs from climate crisis" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Let's Gooooooo! The more balcony, rooftop, and brownfield, solar we do, the less land footprint we need for other solar! #LandSparing #CheapGreenEnergy

This is such a critical issue, for people AND nature AND climate!

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Time for enviro NGOs to forge a new strategy that meets the real needs of people while also improving outcomes for nature and climate. "Policies of Plenty" for humans and nature are possible, especially when compared to the no-action scenario (business as usual is a longterm lose-lose) #greensky

The new "climate tech atlas" is pretty cool! climatetechatlas.com #greensky

NATURE IS SO WEIRD AND I LOVE IT

🧪 A University of Michigan "cradle-to-grave" analysis concludes that any EV, regardless of size, is cleaner than any purely gas-powered car. Even a large electric truck emits less lifetime CO2 than a small internal combustion sedan.

Forest treatments work to reduce wildfire risk to carbon storage, and also to hot drought mortality. We need more treatments, and we need them now, but also, we need them to be ongoing into the future.🧪🔥 www.frontiersin.org/journals/for...

Forests are burning MUCH bigger and hotter in the Western US... annual area burned increased 10-fold from 1985-2022, and area burned severely increased 15-fold! And hotter, drier fire weather is part of the problem (plus fire suppression & fuels buildup, ofc) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

2024 was the hottest year on record, but how bad was it? Our new paper shows that one in six terrestrial vertebrate species were exposed to unprecedented temperatures across at least 25% of their range! @pnas.org #climatechange #news #conservation www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

That AI must have gotten an *honorary* PhD only

12/10 for the dismount!

NEW: No fuel for chainsaws. Expired medical supplies. The approaching wildfire season is going to be even riskier for firefighters this year - among the staff cuts from the Trump admin also lies cuts to supply funds firefighters need immediate access to. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

I bring a bulldozer and destroy your house, while you are away at work. You come back, and are pissed. But I did not harm you, I say, just your habitat!

Cool climate job, postdoc level: #EnergySky #GreenSky #ClimateSky www.linkedin.com/posts/timoth...

Good 🔥 news: WA state just passed a bill to cover liability for prescribed and cultural burns! This is awesome, and will hopefully mean a lot more "good fire" on the landscape. #GreenSky www.linkedin.com/posts/sophie...

How can we find win-wins for solar siting in agricultural land? Substitute solar for corn headed to ethanol production, especially where runoff from corn fertilizer contaminates waterways: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....

Van Hollen: This case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the Constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

David Brooks quoting Karl Marx was not on my bingo card for today, but hey, I'll take it! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Somebody should tell them that fire season has already started...

The Trump administration's dramatic staffing cuts at federal lands agencies like the Forest Service are causing anxiety in tinder dry New Mexico, where the wildfire threat is already severe this Spring.

Q: What types of awards are being terminated? NSF's A: Awards that are not aligned with NSF's priorities have been terminated, including but not limited to those on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and misinformation/disinformation.

Just continuous nerdy animal facts... I got facts for daaayssss. Just this morning, only 1 cup of coffee in, I broke out my arcane knowledge to refute misinformation my 4-yo received about his toy racoon actually being a sloth (readers: it was not! It has a magnificent bushy tail, unlike sloths!)
