New perspective article on climate solutions by @hmcjeon.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Scientists have long predicted ecosystems would shift in response to warming, with some species moving out and others moving in. But a major new study has found the rate of turnover is declining, suggesting nature may be losing its ability to self-repair.

I don’t know what mysterious spark Frankenformed into @theneedling.com when it got sprayed off the gum wall, but I am glad it attained sentience and decided to haunt us. This magnificent many-headed monster has a Venmo and a patreon: love it with me.

thanks to @volts.wtf for having me on to talk about coordinating and planning fossil phase out to build a better and actually decarbonized world. there‘s a lot we can do if we imagine a people-centered, service oriented future — and a LOT we miss if we don’t.

The social cost of carbon tells policymakers how much climate change is costing humanity. But until now, calculations disregarded the ocean almost entirely.

What can you do with all the sensors on your smartwatch? Here are some ideas to get you started. - Build a Wave Buoy - Measure Tidal Inundation - Deploy as a stream gauge - Classify road quality while bicycling and 10 additional projects below. www.tiniscientific.com/field-projects

wow! kipnuk is voting to relocate their village alaska doesn’t have reservations, but the native village of kipnuk is a federally recognized tribe could you imagine your tribe having to vote on relocating to a safer area because of climate change? dozens of alaskan tribes have/will have to soon

I wrote a book! It's trickling out, already in some bookstores. And I'm doing a bunch of events for it (see below). More info on book in alt text.

#RECCAP2 paper alert, Jemma Wadham led the polar chapter, summarizing knowns and (large) unknowns of carbon stocks and fluxes from ice sheets to land fringes, fjords, 🌊 oceans and sediments.🧪 Excellent reference starting point for future work. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... @awi.de

And these kids decided, on their own, to play a benefit show for families impacted by the surge. At that first show they had hoped to raise a couple thousand dollars. Their families and friends came to Minneapolis and packed the house. They ended up raising over 10 grand. (3/?)

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

My latest at Quitting Carbon: Congress rejected the White House’s budget, maintaining funding for important energy programs this year. But are agencies adequately staffed to get the money out the door, and will Russ Vought allow the money to be spent? www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/congress-rej... 🔌💡

The EPA's decision to quit regulating emissions might be symbolic, but what it symbolizes if scary: a government that puts antiquated ideology and corporate profits over the health and welfare of its people Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Funny story: my career in drones exists because I have a arithmetic learning disability, tested awfully in math and couldn’t study STEM in college, and became so angered by how normal it was to look down upon non-tech people in the 2010s that I decided to master a hard tech field out of pure spite.

The Trump administration is dismantling America’s climate databases, firing expert staff and deleting key reports and analyses. Such actions will make important modelling harder

Uiiii. This has the potential to be really, really cool. 🔭🧪⚛️

Good thread.

My entire feed is energy, comms, and policy people skeeting about the power transformers at the halftime show. 🤣 Good work, internet. I am well pleased. Also… Go birds.

This was one of my favorite #AGU25 talks this year

Grateful for the engagement with our work 🙏 One slight misread that I'm seeing and would like to address head on: let me be immensely clear that this is not an argument to transition slower. It's an argument that we need to transition dramatically faster. (1/

Ocean fronts are these latitudinal boundary zones between water masses. They are regions of enhance vertical mixing and increasing nutrient supply, which means more productivity. A lot of productivity, up to 72% of global ocean CO2 uptake occurs there. 🧪🌊 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In our latest article we argue that the problems with carbon offsets can't be fixed. The problem is causal complexity which observational methods can't sort out. open access link in the second post. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science. www.science.org/content/arti...

Interrupted geoengineering could cost us *more* by 2100 than doing nothing at all, detailed econ modeling shows: High emissions: $868 billion Solar geoengineering: $393 billion Termination shock: $1 trillion www.newscientist.com/article/2513...

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

Makes sense: “Until now, the ocean was largely overlooked in the standard accounting of the social cost of carbon even though the degradation of coral reef ecosystems, economic losses from fisheries impacts and damage to coastal infrastructure are well documented and adversely impact millions.”
