For a just and sustainable future, we need an equitable environmental movement. To see how we’re doing, read Green 2.0’s 2024 Transparency Report, which looks at equity indicators across environmental organizations. Access the report here:

When the @USFWS picks and chooses the mining company’s “science” to obfuscate facts about habitat destruction. This project spells doom for Tiehm’s buckwheat and its pollinators. @AlanHalaly
reviewjournal.com
Tiehm’s buckwheat, an endangered wildflower, could still hold up construction on a Nevada lithium mine that the Biden administration approved on Thursday.

"Climate Extremes: At The Abyss?" is now available for viewing. In this new documentary film, we discuss the complexity of Earth system dynamics on a warming planet--including the rising risk of reaching dangerous "tipping points." #ClimateChange #AMOC

The clean power industry is innovating with pace & purpose paired with a forward-looking strategy. Speaking to a packed house at #CLEANPOWER24, I touched on the tremendous progress the industry has made, but how democracy not keeping up is a barrier to our long-term progress.

As always, this live office hour session was recorded. I think quite a few folks would be interested in this (extended) discussion on the complex considerations that go into estimates of how much Earth will warm this century. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming
In my next live YouTube session, I'll discuss the recent (informal) survey of #climate scientists & their views on the likelihood of limiting #GlobalWarming to certain target levels--including where I agree & disagree w/my colleagues. Tune in 10am PT Fri!

It's May again, and (as part of a now annual tradition!) I wanted to re-share this thread on my own personal experience with #hEDS (as a patient & scientist-communicator) as well as offer some new thoughts on managing work & life with complex/chronic medical conditions.
Although I almost always keep my Tweets focused on weather, climate change, and related Earth system events, this thread is going to be a little more personal. May is #EhlersDanlosAwarenessMonth...and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hypermobility type). #hEDS (1/41)

Turn on your toaster, bulldoze a Joshua tree? Flip a light switch, feed an endangered tortoise to a badger? California can build a better solar powered future.☀️

Hi Folks: One month after hiring me, CDFW decided to cut CA's human-wildlife conflict program for the next fiscal year, to the immense detriment of myself, many staff, & Californians. By accepting this job, I had declined other offers. I am now seeking alternatives. Thank you💙
Hi friends- I'm excited to let y'all know that I've accepted an offer to become the new Statewide Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist at @CaliforniaDFW starting in a few months! 🐾👣 Our Kenya work will continue as well! All good things, and I'm so incredibly grateful. 🤗

I’m really pleased that our paper describing an overwinter protocol for surveys of #wolverine s and other other #carnivore s is out! If you deploy #cameratrap s with an attractant, especially during winter, it might be of interest. @woodlandparkzoo

Well, here we are at the draft EIS. 🧐Whether it's 40, 30, or 20%, any mining activity in the habitat deemed essential for Tiehm's buckwheat, which only occupies 10 acres, is too much. Team buckwheat is reporting for duty. Stay tuned! 🫡💚🌼 https://t.co/ehNOWK4Tyf

Penstemon albomarginatus is a deep rooted dune plant that occurs in AZ, CA & NV. It was recently petitioned to be listed under the federal ESA by the @CenterForBioDiv due to many threats. The pops in San Bernardino County, CA are dwindling due to habitat degradation and drought.
