He’s deporting citizens without due process and against judges’ orders + putting out suggested hits on his political enemies, which could very plausibly be acted upon by his extremist followers. Take note.

this isn’t how journalism works

100% this. I spent most of 2024 investigating an AZ utility company that kept insisting more gas was necessary in one of the sunniest places in America — because clouds? Wrong. Batteries are a thing. Smart demand management is a thing. Learn about it. That story: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

These “climate shelters” appear to just be cooling centers. In theory, setting up free places for the public to stay cool can save lives. But in 2022, I reported on research that found they’re not as effective as officials pushing this as climate solution suggest: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

There are many claims that AI is a “planet killing” source of greenhouse gases. But is it? This paper might be the most detailed estimate of the emissions associated with AI. It suggests that AI could emit as much as 30-80 *million* tons of CO2 per year. www.cell.com/patterns/ful...

What an astonishingly dishonest piece of propaganda for the fossil fuel industry, including its citing of Obama's extremely outdated energy policies and its misrepresentation of Norwegian public opinion.

He got votes for this exact empty promise

States typically have a list of items that residents should have on hand in case of an emergency. But according to a new 50-state scorecard released on Thursday, only one state — Maryland — does a good job of including sexual and reproductive health supplies into its preparedness checklist.

Removing science from society is never a good sign. I grew up near this lab. It’s incredibly important.

A review of more than 100 court cases in Alabama found some immigrants saw harsher punishments, even when they have fewer prior convictions. Defendants in these cases said they believe their citizenship status tipped the scales of justice against them. by @amyyurkanin.bsky.social

They want banks to be able to go back to openly discriminating against women and POC. They want women to need to have a man to cosign a credit card or a bank loan like before this rule was passed.

Losing access to newspapers and the historical context they provide around current events is not a hypothetical. It’s deeply scary.

I could ask the same Q about the @nytimes.com’s many fossil fuel ads, but we’ve been down that road. Look, I realize it’s not journalism’s place to screen ads based on value systems. But it does seem like there should be some standards to avoid gaslighting the public and erasing informed discourse.

Hey @nytimes.com, why are you airing a childish, trashy audio ad for streaming service Sling that calls newspapers “outdated information rolled like a burrito about things that happened forever ago.” Did you forget you’re a newspaper or that history (= forever ago) is society’s greatest teacher? 🤦‍♀️

Via Politico: "Polluters Pay" is dead in the California Legislature in 2026, and it's not even January yet.

Our infrastructure isn’t ready for what’s coming.

The harm isn't just from the gross disinformation itself, but also resulting erosion of trust in federal science and guidance. Rebuilding the latter will take far longer than correcting the former.

We published the final dispatch from my mountain bike ride across Arizona on the #ArizonaTrail today in The Arizona Republic | @azcentral.com. It ends, as the trail does, at the state's border with Mexico, which is currently a construction zone with limited access.. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

NEW: Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal www.propublica.org/article/trum... w/ @robert-faturechi.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

In June, I spoke with Flagstaff's @trevorritland.bsky.social about his new book on his search for the golden toad, the first terrestrial species to go extinct from #climatechange. Today that discussion has been published in print and online @azcentral.com. Enjoy! www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

I think about this a lot. My friends who oversee summer internships in wildlife biology saw the application numbers drop this past cycle and another friend who teaches conservation biology is seeing more apathy in the classroom. The kids are right to wonder what of nature will be left to protect. 💔

@amywestervelt.bsky.social @billmckibben.bsky.social @sammyroth.bsky.social on the future of climate journalism tonight at 8!

Sad that this series is almost over. Thoroughly enjoyed following @joanmeiners.bsky.social along the AZT and learn about climate impacts along the way. This series is worth a read if you enjoy bikepacking, climate reporting, or simply good writing.

Catching up on local work and loving this story by @melissasevigny.bsky.social for Arizona Highways Mag about a 1900s birder who "stood out because she was standing very still." Nothing like women who love the wild west and aren't afraid to be weird about it. www.arizonahighways.com/article/stan...

"As the sun sank low in the sky and my sweaty clothes turned from a consequence of heat exposure to a liability in the midnight cold, I reached a tipping point... Almost everything has a tipping point. If pushed beyond it, the chances of a full recovery dim."

As Trump’s OSHA finalizes a long-overdue heat standard, new research shows that enforcement of simple rules requiring employers to provide access to water, shade and breaks is critical to saving lives.

Second to last dispatch from my ride documenting #climate impacts on the #ArizonaTrail! Theme of the week is limits and tipping points. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

Are England's water resources being managed properly across industry and domestic use? I'm not sure about that. Tensions growing between govt, water sector & regulators over water supplies, amid warnings of potential widespread drought next year www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Trail networks seem to bring joy even to people who never get out onto them. An insatiable appetite for stories of adventure & desire to imagine the possibility wild spaces hold may be as core to human nature as the shelter we left behind" www.azcentral.com/story/news/l... @joanmeiners.bsky.social

From 2008! This is why people are frustrated. The only COP I went to was Montreal in 2005.. TWENTY years ago. Nothing has changed, except the GHG PPM and protestors get longer jail sentences.. We support others to take action through honesty and acceptance of different methods.

Have read every part of this. Continues to be great!

New story from my #ArizonaTrail #climate project is up today — about the cultural complexity of climate #solutions & how deciphering best options will be an ongoing challenge On the Arizona Trail, gold's legend and copper's lure color the search for quick solutions www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

"Without action, the signal from scientists will be drowned out in the marketing noise from oil companies"

And then it got hot on the Arizona Trail, so @joanmeiners.bsky.social wrote about how Arizona is the unfortunate poster child for heat deaths. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

Love to see @joanmeiners.bsky.social debunking myths about the roadless rule, cattle grazing and more as she bikes the Arizona Trail: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

Today, keeping up with my monthly series profiling Arizona #climate leaders (as I bike across the state), I have a story out about a man who found such fascination and species #biodiversity on an overlooked, remote rim that he gave it a name: the Mogollon Highlands. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

This is indeed happening and it’s beyond spooky.

2nd weekly dispatch from my Arizona Trail ride to document #climate issues is live on @azcentral.com: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l... It takes us from a shutdown Grand Canyon, through cougar habitat, across a dusty ranch with a questionable wind farm & up past Arizona’s high point into Flagstaff.

This video from the Arizona Trail is slightly too long to post here, but you can use the QR code below to see an on-trail post-fire botany discussion and footage of some miles through the #WhiteSageFire burn scar.

Anybody know what would turn water this color? (In an Arizona forest.)

Super cool reporting project. @azcentral.com's @joanmeiners.bsky.social is biking the 850-mile Arizona Trail to see firsthand how climate change is affecting the state. Follow her journey: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

Cool piece, highlighting some of the impacts of the recent wildfires on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, as well as impacts of shutdown in slowing recovery.

I'm riding my mountain bike on the 850-mile Arizona Trail this fall to see and write about #climate impacts along the way. We're publishing weekly dispatches from the trail in The Arizona Republic | @azcentral.com as I go. The first one just dropped: www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

This is a nightmare

On June 9, I filed a public records request with the Arizona Dept of Health Services. I was promised a reply in 10 business days...but got nothing. Last week I published a story about how ADHS has fumbled their own data on heat-related hospital visits and won't share it. Today I got this email.

It seems there are two main reasons things haven’t gone completely to shit in the US: 1. Lawyers and the courts; 2. Journalists and the media. Most of us can’t do anything about the first, but we can support journalism. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe to news & donate to public media.

NEW An EPA report found that PFNA, a chemical in the drinking water of some 26M people, interferes with development and likely causes liver problems & male reproductive harms. The report was done in April, scientists told me. But the agency hasn't released it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...
