Ocean advocate, community builder, climate scientist. I make sure the ocean interior is healthy so you don't have to.

If you don't know about mosquito dunks, you should! They're floating plant material containing a type of bacterium that only attacks mosquito larvae. Just put one in the water and stop mosquitos from hatching. They're inexpensive and highly effective. Signed, a friendly bluesky entomologist.

Hey y’all - heads up that mosquito-borne viral diseases in the US are off to an *early* start this summer. Make sure to cover/bugspray up and reduce standing water around your home (or treat with products like Mosquito Dunks that kill developing larvae!)

The national climate assessment "shows how climate is changing in the places where we live, in ways that matter to people's lives," @katharinehayhoe.com told me. It explains those effects in "clear and unmistakable terms." The reports' website disappeared on Monday. NASA will now host them online.

The federal website for the national climate reports and other climate change information went dark Monday afternoon, the latest ripple of the shutdown of the legislatively mandated Global Change Research Program. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/c...

I'm looking for a partner to co-lead Atmospheric Chemistry at ETH! New role for a mid-career person looking to make a change. Please contact me if interested. Job opening closes in a month! (and applying early is better than last minute!)

🚨Less than one in 12 African cities is covered by more than one piece of climate change research, and many are completely absent from the evidence base altogether, with major implications for climate assessments. A hugely significant study from @efesce.bsky.social and colleagues, in Nature Cities.

Systematic global stocktake of over 50,000 urban climate change studies - Nature Cities

This study provides an evidence database on climate change in cities, highlighting that small and fast-growing cities, especially in Asia and Africa, are underresearched, which has contributed to bias...

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

A horizontal bar chart titled "Percentage of Global fossil fuel emissions (since 1751) occurring in my lifetime." The chart shows how much of the total historical global fossil fuel emissions have occurred within the lifetime of individuals of different ages, from 5 to 100 years old. The vertical axis on the left lists ages in increments of 5 years, from age 5 at the top to age 100 at the bottom. The horizontal axis represents the percentage of fossil fuel emissions, marked in 10% increments from 10% to 90%.

The black bars represent the proportion of fossil fuel emissions that have occurred during each age group's lifetime. The bars increase in length as the age increases, meaning older individuals have lived through a larger percentage of the cumulative emissions since 1751.

Three specific age groups are highlighted with red bars and white text annotations:

Age 30: "if you are 30 it is more than 50%"

Age 50: "if you are 50 it is about 75%"

Age 85: "if you are 85 it is about 90%"
