It's worth repeating—the #ethanol lobby is promoting CO2 pipelines specifically for its use in enhanced oil recovery. Ethanol and oil interests are united for liquid fuel dependence against EVs. More ethanol = more oil. Here it is, in their own words: https://t.co/BXVVzgqRFe

Quick question, @NWSSPC, @NWSTwinCities, @NWSWPC, or anyone else: Why are two counties in WI (Adams and Juneau) included in the watch despite being entirely beyond the light blue polygon? I've noticed this in more than a few recent watches. I must be missing something. 🤔 #mnwx

Recent estimates of future (2050) business-as-usual global food system #GHG emissions range from 10 to 20 Gt CO2e—a 2x difference! Notably, not one of these studies includes post-farm gate emissions. New from PhD dissertation of @colgan_kimberly.

Estimates of recent global #foodsystem #GHG emissions by stage (land-use change, on farm, or pre and post-production). Emissions year is first in each label. Study publication year is second after author names. From PhD dissertation of @colgan_kimberly.

The embargo on former advisee @colgan_kimberly's doctoral dissertation just lifted, so I can now share with you this nifty and timely figure she created! Recent estimates of global food system greenhouse gas emissions range from ~1/4 to 1/3 of total emissions.

As far as I can tell, the dwarf trout lily (Erythronium propullans) is the only species, plant or otherwise, endemic to Minnesota. Is this correct, @mndnr, @BellMuseum, or anyone else?

Can we achieve sustainable development while protecting the environment? How do policies that support ecosystem services help achieve this goal? I’m excited to announce our new publication in PNAS that explores these questions: https://t.co/jK4UJI81CL (1/12)

Reducing fossil fuel use is essential to stopping climate change. ⭐️Farming matters, too.⭐️ Food production alone could lead to a global temperature increase of more than 1.5°C by 2050 and of nearly 2°C by 2100, even if fossil fuel use were to end today. https://t.co/jTXGjX2Kaq

Concerted efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from food production are necessary to limit increases in global temperature.

Online exclusive! I made this figure years ago but only used it in presentations—never published it. It shows how #corn #ethanol isn't a renewable fuel by any stretch of the imagination. It's essentially fossil fuel in clear liquid form. #wolfinsheepsclothing #lca

Cited in today's @WSJopinion @WSJ. 'A study last year in @PNASNews noted that the renewable fuel standard has led to “substantially greater GHG emissions” and “exacerbated other environmental problems,” including poor water quality and soil erosion.' https://t.co/BIg3eDIwoL

I'm pleased to report that even though the air might be pretty bad here in Minnesota now, at least it's still free. #lowerinflation
