I truly enjoyed spending time with Katharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.com the other day. She’s one my favorite people in the climate community — so smart, generous, and funny! Check out our conversation here. Free!

"The most important innovations aren't necessarily new technologies; they're improvements in deployment, financing, and scaling." - @laurengifford.bsky.social Sr Advisor, Climate Philanthropy & Investment Full interview:👇 https://bit.ly/4aMw8RN #ProjectDrawdown

The “collapse” of the “AMOC” circulation (a confusing term first used in the 2000s) has become a source of confusion and hype for years. This is a good overview of the science, without hype, and shows that it may far more resilient than some say. An important read. www.science.org/content/arti...

🛟 Impactful climate solutions exist in the ocean. But as Project Drawdown fellow Christina @hydrochristina.bsky.social has learned, the nature-based solutions are not the ones that will move the climate needle fastest on a global scale. Read more: https://bit.ly/43U8nU2 #worldoceansday

Wow, one year without the overhead from federal research grants, and tuition from international students, and American universities are absolutely crumbling. It's as if the system that these schools operate on was poorly designed to begin with... www.highereddive.com/news/colorad...

Weird. Instacart's new commercial is totally MAHA, trad wife, conservative influencer coded. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN6R...

A wild rabbit just started building a nest in my garden overnight. Is it about to have babies there?

Good read on climate migration and climate refugees: How a ‘Model’ for Climate Migration Became a Cautionary Tale www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/c...

It's the start of summer and because of a US blockade Cuba has run out of oil and has near total blackouts. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/w...

Charm Industrial's bio-oil carbon removal approach, turning corn stover into sequestered carbon underground, is a promising option in the CDR toolkit, but as I note in the article, we can't put all our eggs in one basket. The climate crisis needs all hands on deck: ambrook.com/offrange/tec...

"When things become mainstream, we stop recognizing them as victories, but they are. One of the most important things the climate community can do is look back, take stock, and acknowledge what actually worked." - @laurengifford.bsky.social, Sr Advisor, Project Drawdown 🔗 https://bit.ly/4dvJhk0

Remember the "peak oil" debate from the early 2000s? What happened to that?

At San Francisco Climate Week, Project Drawdown and Climate Lead brought together philanthropists and impact investors to ask a simple question: What becomes possible when climate capital meets rigorous science? Read the full insights piece 👉 https://bit.ly/4dePP6w #ImpactInvesting

This is what my team and I were up to last week in San Francisco for climate week. Check it out!

Created by Project Drawdown and backed up with the latest science, Carbon in Context converts raw emissions data into comparisons that actually resonate with audiences. Clear the air and start using Carbon in Context today: drawdown.org/carbon-in-context #climateaction

Ag + Colorado folks, help! I'm not planting a backyard garden this summer because the water use doesn't seem worth it this year for the relatively low yield we get. I want to do an easy cover crop-- I'm thinking buckwheat. Yes? No? Best time to plant it? www.botanicalinterests.com/cdn/shop/fil...

It's almost 10:30 pm and we are sending off our revised manuscript for publication. Months of after-hours work going into writing + editing over and over. Exhausted, invigorated, and in awe of how utterly long it takes academic publications to see the light of day.

Will you be in San Francisco for Climate Week? Join Project Drawdown for one-- or all!-- of our exciting events! @projectdrawdown.bsky.social drawdown.org/news/project...

And... @reddmonitor.bsky.social got me with the April Fools joke. I read this for far too many sentences before I realized what was going on. I mean, "baby carbon credits" actually seems plausible at this point. open.substack.com/pub/reddmoni...

The fact is, methane has caused about 30% of the warming we have seen to date. And all non-CO2 warming pollution, taken together, has caused about half of the warming so far. And of the CO2 warming we have seen, a big chunk of that has been caused by deforestation.

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is sometimes called “laughing gas” One less funny thing about N₂O is that it is a greenhouse gas ~273x more potent than CO₂ Lots of N₂O emissions are from agriculture Nitrogen is essential for crop production but globally ~half of N applied to crops is lost to the environment!

Welcome to the team! Project Drawdown welcomes @laurengifford.bsky.social, Ph.D., and Elena Essa to its private sector engagement team to expand efforts to mobilize billions of dollars toward proven climate solutions. Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/40WeDJH #climatefinance #climatestrategy

Why do media always portray rural folks as something weird or curious to be examined? The rancher in this article is written about like he's some exotic other, and then it's revealed that he also runs an internet security business w/ international clients. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Geographers, who’s headed to AAG? This time next week we’ll be talking about surfaces and subsurfaces as spaces of climate action. Chect out these paper talks and join us if you can! @geographers.bsky.social

ICE in Colorado: "2,831 individuals were held in at least one of the nine facilities. The oldest was 91 years old; the youngest was a 1-year-old girl. Many detainees were held for weeks at a time in rooms without beds" coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/03/excl...

Cool! I’ll make a note of it! I’ll be part of the paper session "Political-Industrial Ecologies of AI: 4" Thursday from 2:30 PM to 3:50 PM in Continental 7, Ballroom Level, Hilton, Tower 1,2,3.

Love a mission-driven cafe. Thanks, Arboretum in Fort Collins, for the hospitality and blood orange latte.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

As Trump proclaims the hemisphere as his & apparently makes plans for Cuba as the next stop in the Idiot Imperialism Imbroglio, I'd love all Americans to read José Martí's beautiful essay "Our America" (1892). A version of a shared hemispheric vision... americanstudier.blogspot.com/2023/05/may-...

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar

This too is a kind of climate politics.

"ICE arrested at least 3,522 people in Colorado from Jan. 20 to Oct. 15. The youngest was a baby girl born in 2024. The oldest was a 91-year-old man from Mexico." coloradosun.com/2025/12/31/i...

Commentary: Data centers are not going away; they are the backbone of the growing digital economy. But without effective policy, we risk letting the industry set the terms. Colorado can lead nationally by pursuing these principles. By @laurengifford.bsky.social

I brought my 8-year-old to the special collections floor of the Denver Public Library and it’s the best. 10/10 would recommend for quiet work or exploring.
