"It saves us money, and will continue to save us money,” Steve Fate, president of the West Union District Energy geothermal network in downtown West Union, Iowa, told @mckennapr.bsky.social: insideclimatenews.org/news/2009202... 🔌💡

My reading is that this is a set of targets prepared by a conservative bureaucracy that Xi did not choose to override this time. It should be seen as a floor, not a ceiling, for China's ambition.

The weirdest ways scientists are mining for critical minerals, from water to weeds. Not all critical minerals need to come from digging up the earth. grist.org/energy/the-w... #Minerals #Water #Weeds #Science #Scientists #Mining #Environment #Climate

Ice Jams Dam in Brash Sea Plan

Our new paper with Mengyang Zhou, Elizabeth Yankovsky, and Dustin Carroll is out as a preprint: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20... "Substantial inter-model variation in OAE efficiency between the CESM2/MARBL and ECCO-Darwin ocean biogeochemistry models"

🚨 Scoop (now free to read): The carbon credits clause in the EU's 2040 climate target could see the bloc offshore emissions cuts exceeding the annual emissions of France & Belgium. Leaked doc shows scale of offsetting plan for 1st time. w/ @l-guillot.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/euro...

My statement on Ai from the mini-comic as syllabus i made for new class I'm teaching that starts tomorrow! It robs you of your decisions & struggles - and the joy of being surprised. We won’t to be robbed of our learning - this is essential. This & the full mini at post: bsky.app/profile/nsou...

Team ikaite, because it forms in sea ice brine and I spent time in a very deep rabbit hole in grad school. #mincup25

🌊With the Fall semester upon us, it's time to start thinking about recruiting/applying to grad school for 2026. If you are a marine scientist looking for a graduate student, I've created a form where you can add your name and other info: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Please share widely! (1/2)

There's a "tug of war" emerging between the Arctic (where air near surface is warming faster vs. high altitudes) and the tropics (where high-altitude air is warming faster), & the as-yet TBD outcome will have major implications for global weather patterns.

Understanding how policymakers define & select evidence in environmental decisions is crucially important. Based on interviews with 84 Canadian professionals working at science-policy interfaces, Nyboer et al. set out a new definition of “good evidence” @sjcfishy.bsky.social‬ doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

As I argue in my new book, decarbonization is about asset revaluation: fossil asset owners have waaaay more $$ and power than green asset owners. So climate policy should focus on how to re-orient the flow of capital in the economy, not mitigate tons of emissions. press.princeton.edu/books/ebook/...

Funding EU carbon removals. Assessment of existing EU funding programmes and new funding models to increase carbon removal supply

YES, I AM TWELVE YEARS STUBBORN IT IS WHY I HAVE A PHD TO BEGIN WITH

IT FINALLY HAPPENED I USED THE LAST OF THE UNRETURNABLE NONCOMPLIANT THESIS PAPER IT TOOK TWELVE YEARS 🏆 #phdlife #academicsky

““Think of it as Lego blocks,” Subban said. If the steps are in the correct order, scientists can generate a couple of mineral coproducts depending on the starting feed water and local industrial ecology, she explained.” 🧱

Dan Fesperman's spy caper Pariah follows a disgraced comic-politician who's recruited by the CIA. The Dancing Face, by Mike Phillips, is a crime caper that confronts the spoils of colonialism.

This conversation with Monica Medina for @scientistas.bsky.social digs deep into how we can achieve the climate action we need (and how we are going to Save Ourselves). Tune in below (and sign up to win a paperback of the book, which just came out) 👇

The answer to the many, many stories of shady carbon credits has been verification. Surely if these credits are audited, we can trust them, right? A new study says nope, conflict of interest abounds. @rishpardikar.bsky.social has the story for @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/news/carbon-...

"It will do so with an eye to weighing in on the Trump admin's planned repeal of the government’s 2009 determination that greenhouse gas emissions harm human health & the environment."👇 insideclimatenews.org/news/0708202...

What can you do when the government shuts down a scientific advisory group to prevent researchers and the public from working together on important issues? Start your own of course! Great toolkit from the @ucs.org for how to start an independent scientific committee blog.ucs.org/melissa-finu...

Recommended read: A @bloomberg.com article said that South Africa “will seek jail time, fines and higher taxes for breaches of proposed rules to govern carbon emissions” as part of new efforts to reduce the country’s dependency on coal.

Germany's defence spending spree could aid green industry shift – with right policies

New paper in Nat. Comms w. @klchristiansen.bsky.social et al. "We show that countries’ climate pledges require approximately 1 billion ha of land for removals. For over 40% of this area, the pledges envisage the conversion of existing land uses to forests." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very excited to share this new tool for teaching the politics of climate change. What are the different *theories of change* that underlie decarbonization efforts and policies? Help your students learn about them. Please share widely. 🌎🔌💡🛢️

Heading to Netroots? Don’t miss our panel on state climate action. With the federal gov actively dismantling progress, state & local leadership is more urgent than ever. Learn how we win pro-climate majorities, pass bold policies & take on fossil fuel power through 2030

New article! The missing link: democracy, education, and carbon emissions by Patricia Bromley, Jared Furuta & Evan Schofer. This article examines how democracy and education shape national carbon emissions across 155 countries between 1990 and 2019. doi.org/10.1080/0964...

Top marks to Traboni et al. for the beautifully succinct - and stupendously blunt - title for their paper (... which is pretty great too) ... 🌊 aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🧪 NEW STUDY: The CO2 grabbed by direct air capture technology is often mixed with nitrogen, oxygen, and other impurities. Mixed streams require more energy to reach the supercritical state needed for storage. Also impurities increase leakage risks, monitoring costs. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Scoop: The U.S. billion-dollar disaster database is set to return this fall over at @climatecentral.org. They've hired the former NOAA scientist who ran the project for 10+ years www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A new report shows how local climate activism leads to ‘remarkable’ gains. Efforts to pass laws and advance clean energy projects can significantly reduce emissions, and at a low cost. grist.org/solutions/ne... #Activist #Climate #Environment #Local #Activism #Politics #Policy

an unfortunate and potentially fatal irony embedded in the entire energy transition is that the new things we need to build for reducing emissions are in many cases just very large industrial structures

The rapid decline of American science has few precedents in history, argues @rossandersen.bsky.social. We are witnessing an unparalleled act of self-sabotage:

"If the U.S. is no longer the world’s technoscientific superpower, it will almost certainly suffer for the change. America’s technology sector might lose its creativity. But science itself, in the global sense, will be fine. The deep human curiosities that drive it do not belong to any nation-state"

HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.

My dad passed today, w/Kotzebue Sound air blowing over him and a smile on his face. At 88, his started life living on the Noatak River and migrating to the coast to hunt and fish, before he moved to Kotzebue with his folks. An excellent subsistence hunter and commercial fisherman, he will be missed.
