Here's a Teaser for Episode 3 of the COPOut Podcast which goes live Monday! In it, I discuss the challenges and limitations of the climate regime with @laurengifford.bsky.social & @pammcelwee.bsky.social and how the disenfranchisement of developing countries and NGOs has gone up over time

Episode 3 airs on MONDAY! In it, I talk with @pammcelwee.bsky.social and @laurengifford.bsky.social about the future of carbon governance given the disenfranchisement that developing countries and NGOs are experiencing in the COP process. Stay tuned for clips this weekend!

We have an amazing lineup of guests scheduled for the next 2 weeks, including @laurengifford.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @davidho.bsky.social @magnoliae.bsky.social @pammcelwee.bsky.social @frediotto.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social @rodschoonover.bsky.social @amywestervelt.bsky.social

📢Announcing the #COPOut Podcast (our first episode goes live on Sunday)!! Here's info about how to listen and why I'm doing this podcast instead of wasting all that carbon to travel to COP30: danarfisher.com/2025/11/08/i...

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.

First episode of COPOut airs SUNDAY. Tune in to hear from @laurengifford.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @davidho.bsky.social @magnoliae.bsky.social @pammcelwee.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social @frediotto.bsky.social @amywestervelt.bsky.social & more! cece.american.edu/cece-launche...

This Virginia election result is an eye-opener for me, even though I've covered the environmental and health impacts of AI and data centers for quite a while. 👀

Me, watching people on linkedin literally blame Guardian reporter Patrick Greenfield for singlehandedly destroying the REDD+ market:

I'm so excited to be kicking off the COPOut Podcast! Details are below. Tune in to hear conversations with @laurengifford.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @davidho.bsky.social @magnoliae.bsky.social @pammcelwee.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social and more! cece.american.edu/cece-launche...

Why your professor friends are yawning. This is considered “normal.”

No one is better than the carbon industry at constantly re-branding concepts without changing the fundamentals of the concept *at. all.*

THIS is the hot take of the century. THIS is why we we are experiencing so much strife. We've been convinced we are the problems, and we are supposed to solve things within systems stacked against us. We need better systems.

Zohran! 🎉

As we debate building a new generation of fossil fuel infrastructure for data centers and LNG exports, it's helpful to understand how the last generation's infrastructure is faring. Answer: the fossil fuel industry (and now the fed gov't) has left it behind to poison our communities.

I've just fallen down the rabbit hold of reading reddit posts about carbon project enrollment. You can learn so much reading insights from people who are outside the industry who aren't academics. Please join me: www.reddit.com/r/forestry/c... cc @reddmonitor.bsky.social

Calling everyone who has chosen to skip COP30 this year—I’m doing a quasi poll. Lemme know if you made this decision and why!!

I get why people are replying to point out eligibility requirements and the prevalence of the working poor, but ultimately the only requirement for getting fed should be that you're hungry.

Crossing a New York City street and almost bumped right into @davidho.bsky.social on a City Bike. Climate Week is so much fun!

I got this sent to me from a Pascua Yaqui undergraduate student in Tucson who is in a soils class this semester. She said it was so meaningful to see not only women but someone from her tribe up there. I just about cried. This work matters. We matter ❤️🤍💙

Check out our team’s new paper about reducing nitrogen losses in US row-crop agriculture, by @mikebadzmierowski.bsky.social. Nitrogen is essential for crop production, but its overuse reduces air and water quality and emits potent GHGs. This paper examines solutions. www.wri.org/research/red...

New peer-reviewed paper documents massive lobbying by big oil & gas over 20 yrs to promote carbon, capture & storage, spending almost $1 Billion. CCS is a scam. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Am I standing in front of the future, or the past? Given the amount of regressive climate and environmental policies, and pro fossil fuel incentives we’re seeing before us, I honestly don’t know.

Seriously, what the hell is going on?

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

There are images like this all over … Havana, Cuba. Banners of Castros face and militarized policy around the city.

Positive tipping points for climate, like the UK phasing out coal, show how big steps toward a low-carbon future can suddenly become unstoppable. Can we identify where the next tipping points could happen, and figure out how to help trigger them? These researchers say YES. Read more:

In my free time (haha jk that doesn't exist) I think up topics for #AAG2026 sessions. Today's session that I think could be fun and interesting: "Surfaces and subsurfaces as spaces of climate action." Send me your soil CDR, your geological carbon storage, your geographies of geothermal!...

Let's talk university Futures institutes. - Do you know of one? - What do they do well? - What do they overlook? - What do you think they should/could include?

Just think - if one million people turned off their wifi for one hour it would save enough electricity to run one ChatGPT data center for ten seconds

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
