Big, big news! This is probably the coolest of the many jobs I have shared here! 🚨COME BE MY DEPUTY🚨 🚨JOIN THE BEST TEAM WORKING IN CLIMATE POLICY AND POLITICS!🚨 This. Will. Go. Fast.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

🧵 I was driving my quite elderly mother around this wkd and put on one of my fav songs: Gil Scott-Heron’s “Lady Day and John Coltrane.” “What’s this about?” she asked “How greats like Billie Holiday can transport you." "I saw her, you know," mom said. "At the end." www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aRN...

"...the situation became more difficult this year as the government, and its priorities, changed... I was not comfortable with the process becoming neglected or preformative, and it had begun to feel that way to me" www.linkedin.com/posts/simon-... #Canada #Climate

This was a great discussion of a major development in Canadian climate politics, highly recommended.

Does burning more wood lead to more forests & help the climate? In a new Nature paper, WRI & Yale researchers show such claims rely on flawed accounting and models, and misinterpret underlying studies. Read the papers: rdcu.be/eNkXX RSVP to a webinar 10/31, 9:30 ET: hub.wri.org/events/2025/...

this is a very impressive analysis of some of the statistical "oddities" in Pielke Jr's analysis that normalized climate impacts are declining. Everyone should read this. economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/10/26/r...

Thanks to everyone who has helped raise $575.80 so far! ICE is being deployed in our city, and we're week from the suspension of SNAP and LIHEAP - two essential, life-saving federal programs affected by the federal shutdown. Every bit is going to help. Could you help get us to $675?

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

We’ve been informed by the Governor’s Department of Finance that it won’t agree before our legislative session ends (on Friday) to finalize a $750M bridge loan to Bay Area transit. This loan was agreed to in our June budget. Without it, BART, Muni, et al will cut service.🧵

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

I fell while hiking near Folgefonna glacier & broke my femur, pelvis & some vertebrae. I was trapped on the mountain for 6 days & had to drink my urine. Bad calls got me into this.

Electricity prices in California's investor-owned utilities (IOUs) and community choice aggregator (CCA) territories have more than doubled in a decade, after accounting for inflation. What are these power providers spending the increased revenues on? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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-...

Nations are largely ignoring a growing source of greenhouse gases in their climate commitments & risk assessments: emissions driven by climate change itself, like methane released from warming wetlands. A new research collaboration aims to address that gap in our understanding:

Let me qualify what Josh is saying. It is quite clear that the Constitution requires a census of all persons. It’s quite clear that past Supreme Court cases support this proposition. (For instance, the recent census question case makes no sense if persons doesn’t include immigrants.) /1

thanks @latimes.com for sharing my perspective on the opportunity for California to pull forward clean energy procurement and qualify for rapidly expiring federal tax credits. I hope other states can similarly act quickly to pull forward these savings. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... #energysky

Another deeply insightful thread from Josh.

why does coal use she/her pronouns

Right then... A quick review of the DOE's new 'critical review' of climate science. Whether it's worth a formal community response - I'm still not sure, but here's my first thoughts /thread/

Land sector ones C: “burning biomass is carbon neutral because the plant already absorbed the carbon” R: you just burned it though, which emits relative to not burning C: “biogenic CO2 and methane are ‘better’ than fossil CO2 and methane” R: these sources warm the climate just like fossil-based 1/
