Good morning. Buddy (11 years young) doesn’t want to get up.

Boy it sure seems like someone should ask JD Vance what he thinks of the White House ordering DOJ to settle a lawsuit with Trump that could result in the IRS handing him millions of dollars.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

To me, a lot of generative AI images and video just look tacky -- or "Naff" as the English say. Like there's something wrong with it and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Think climate change is just about CO2 and fossil fuels? 💡 Think again. Four graphics from @globalecoguy.bsky.social and @jamesgerber.bsky.social shine a light on the varied sources of GHG emissions — so you can better understand and address climate change. 🔗 https://bit.ly/42ghOg3

My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 79 co-sponsors. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

A beautiful homage to my Alma mater, the maroon and gold of the University of Minnesota.

When my neighbors cut down trees, I can almost hear the sound of their summer electricity bills going up.

Extremely proud of this new climate communication tool! Companies and polluters can't be allowed to hide behind the obscurity of metric tonnes and carbon dioxide equivalents.

Want to learn more about chocolate and climate change? Here’s an excellent primer.

Should you worry about the carbon footprint of chocolate? 🍫😋 It's probably better to focus on the type of protein you consume. 🌱🍄🥩🌰🍔 Even so, there are ways to produce cocoa beans that can either be a big climate problem 🏭❌🪓 Or a powerful climate solution 🌱🌴🌳 drawdown.org/insights/wha...

The average American eats 6 pounds of chocolate a year! Where the cocoa comes from matters more than whether it’s dark or milk. 👉 Read more in the latest Insights from @enviroem.bsky.social here: https://bit.ly/4sNrb1u

Not the answer I was hoping for as a dark chocolate fan 😭

What type of chocolate is best for climate? The emissions of its main ingredients vary greatly based on where and how they are produced. But on average, dark chocolate is 44% more emitting. My latest @projectdrawdown.bsky.social: drawdown.org/insights/wha...

Project Drawdown Sr. Scientist Kate Marvel speaks about her decision to leave NASA and why it's important to be honest about our feelings as we continue pursuing the truth and standing up for what's right. Listen to her interview on CNN 🎧 https://cnn.it/4u57Utu

Moderated a fun panel on reducing methane emissions while increasing rice production at DC Climate Week today featuring @ecomarci.bsky.social (UNEP), Brian Segal (IndigoAg) and Jennifer Norfolk (Global Heat Reduction Initiative). A few things I learned: 🧵 1/

Fabulous panel yesterday focused on efforts to reduce methane from rice paddies, incl. @ecomarci.bsky.social (UNEP), Jennifer Norfolk (Global Heat Reduction Initiative), and Brian Segal (IndigoAg). @waiterich.bsky.social (WRI) did an incredible job moderating!

Can confirm

I can’t really tell the difference between a beef burger 🍔 and a veggie burger when all is said and done. I eat burgers for the cheese and the toppings.

Congratulations to all the Hungarians who turned out in massive numbers—almost 80% turnout—to reclaim their democracy. May your example remind the rest of us how it’s done

Only about 1/4 of the crop calories produced in the US are currently used to feed people directly. If we changed that, US production could feed a lot more people here and elsewhere. drawdown.org/news/only-ha...

Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

Croplands around the world produced enough calories in 2020 to meet global food needs. Only half were available for human consumption. @gaeacabico.bsky.social reports:

The biggest problem with the food system is that it is no longer a *food* system. More than half the calories we grow on croplands aren't food; they're lost in inefficient feedlots or to biofuels. Project Drawdown scientists highlight this disturbing trend: sentientmedia.org/more-crops-g...

BIG, EXCITING NEWS! Dr. Kate Marvel @drkatemarvel.bsky.social -- world-leading climate scientist and author -- is coming to Project Drawdown after leaving NASA. She will be a Senior Scientist, leading an exciting new initiative on "Emergency Brake" climate solutions. drawdown.org/news/world-r...

My daughter made her own song for today’s #NoKings. This is her third protest.

The Farm Bureau estimates that a year-round increase from E10 to E15 (15% ethanol blend in gasoline) would increase US corn demand by 2.4 billion bushels a year. Latest yields per USDA are 188.8 bushels/acre, so growing it requires another 12.7 million acres. That’s about half the size of Indiana.

In the U.S., out of every 10 calories grown on croplands, less than 2 of those calories (17%) are grown for food. The rest? Animal feed and biofuels. My @projectdrawdown.bsky.social colleagues and I updated country-level crop use stats to 2020 in our latest paper: drawdown.org/news/only-ha...

This is one of the most important issues with the global food system, yet it is often ignored. Put simply, we don't actually grow much *food* in our farms around the world. Instead, we grow grossly inefficient animal feed and biofuels. drawdown.org/news/only-ha...

Congrats to the Project Drawdown team. Looks like a useful update of one of my fav papers, @enviroem.bsky.social et al 2013. Feeding more crops to people & fewer to animals & vehicles would make it way easier to feed 10B people and end deforestation, stabilize the climate, cut water pollution etc.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Climate solutions like protecting peatlands, improving rice production, and better nutrient management will have a real impact on emissions, without reducing yields. A new study published in @nature.com was co-authored by three Drawdown Scientists. 👉 https://go.nature.com/4skfkIH cr: Cao et al. 2026

ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now

The US National Academies of Sciences refused to remove a climate change chapter from the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, despite pressure from Republican attorneys general.
