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.

CONAN: “For the first time since 2012 no British people are nominated for Best actor or best Actress… a British spokesperson commented, ‘Yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.’" #Oscars

Are you a climate researcher based in the United States looking to do science in the public good? If so, consider applying for our Climate Science Serving America Fellowship! Applications will be accepted until April 17 at 11:59 pm ET. drawdown.org/careers/clim...

mother nature put the weather on shuffle

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

On top of everything else, oil and gas prices are going to spike because of Trump’s war in Iran. But guess what doesn’t get disrupted by wars? Renewable energy. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Storage.

The Supreme Court has decided to hear a major climate case against fossil fuel companies Alito has not recused himself, despite owning nearly $200,000 in fossil fuel stocks—including in Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, which are being sued in cases that would be directly affected by a SCOTUS ruling

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but reducing food production is not a sane climate solution. And any potential solution that results in less food production is bogus. (Unless it also includes better food distribution, reducing waste, etc.)

U.S.-based scientists and engineers! Here's an amazing, remote, fellowship opportunity @projectdrawdown.bsky.social: drawdown.org/news/project...

What are the sources of cropland GHG emissions? Mostly rice cultivation & peatland drainage (~70% combined). A new study led by Cornell & @projectdrawdown.bsky.social details sources of these GHGs doi.org/10.1038/s415... See nice write up @worldresources.bsky.social www.wri.org/insights/cli...

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Watch the Colbert show interview with Rep. James Talarico that Trump's FCC and CBS don't want you to see (it was barred from being aired): youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Roses are red 🌹 Pulses are leguminous 🫘 They produce 20 times more protein per hectare 🏞️ Compared to meat that comes from ruminants 🐮

Three cheers for the sources that give great quotes. And also for @mollytaft.com @wired.com. Link to story below

While others are stepping back on climate, Project Drawdown is stepping up! We’re proud to announce the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support U.S.-based Ph.D.-level scientists & engineers focused on climate solutions for the public good. drawdown.org/news/project...

big thanks to @michaelemann.bsky.social who gave me some crucial context/commentary on the way 'climate change' is talked about in Epstein's emails www.fastcompany.com/91490280/eps...

she somehow managed to lie about the very intentional racism in the video AND the animals present in Lion King

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Renee Good’s last words: “I’m not mad at you.” Alex Pretti’s last words: “Are you okay?”

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

“It’s cold outside where I live today, therefore climate change doesn’t exist” is like saying “I had breakfast this morning, therefore hunger doesn’t exist”

As an immigrant and an American, I stand with the people of Minneapolis on strike today. You can’t terrorize a city and expect business as usual.

Ugh. Is the Administration illegally undermining climate work in America…? www.edf.org/media/newly-...

"The outrageous seizure" of @hannahnatanson.bsky.social's records "chills speech, cripples reporting, and inflicts irreparable harm." Anything less than immediate return "would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant" www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Methane has driven about one-third of warming to date 🔥 and is far more potent than CO₂ in the short term. Learn about solutions in latest Insights piece from Emily Cassidy, Research Associate and Paul West, Senior Scientist: https://bit.ly/3NqBEkx @enviroem.bsky.social @paul-west.bsky.social

We lost two neighbors today to ICE abductions. The kids are off school tomorrow but we'll be at a different elementary school packing boxes for families too afraid to leave their homes. We are more organized each day and we won't stop until these assholes leave.

While countries are making progress at measuring & mitigating methane from fossil fuels, we need to increase our efforts in curbing methane from livestock, rice, & food waste. @paul-west.bsky.social and I explain in our latest article @projectdrawdown.bsky.social drawdown.org/insights/we-...

Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny? LEAVITT: Where you in the room? Only someone like you would take that so seriously
