I really wanted to do interviews as part of my data collection for my doctoral research, but wasn't able to because of COVID. I'm working on my interview protocol now for my new research on grazing and it is So. Fun.

One of the things I dislike most about being back in CA is not being able to get a human on the line for customer service. This was not the case in Idaho and Montana!

Have reached the point in my career where planning my upcoming talk takes 1/6th of the time it used to

For interested folks, I created a wildfire experts list from my old starter pack. I also know a lot of new people have joined Bluesky since I last updated it, so let me know if you’re an expert who would like to be added bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

"The Ohio EPA confirmed that public comments against its proposed statewide data center wastewater permit exceeded 7,000."

VICTORY! Standing O to Ohioans who just gave us all an object lesson in the power of going apeshit! Organized, immediate, ongoing participation in the public comment process has sandbagged a sneaky plan to allow data centers to freely pollute water. For now. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/07/29/o...

I’ve been doing awareness-raising of and education about climate change for over 2 decades and I’ve only seen policy & business practices — and ecological repercussions, which play out socially — worsen. We all know about the horrible fires, ocean heat waves, polar vortices, etc. (1/2)

Of all the many impacts of climate change, it is the collapse of food security that haunts me the most. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Gave all my copies of my book away, so will be performing from it at an upcoming talk via PDF instead of hard copy lol

Thinking about how the main reason I didn't at any point train as a physical scientist (my bachelor's is in language studies, not marine science, etc.) is bc I have always been drawn to qualitative research (rather than quant.). Now I do qualitative environmental research at the edge of my field :)

It's wild that after years of study, training, and practice, now when I read scientific papers about targeted grazing, I understand all the grazing principles and, generally, data. You can just learn things.

”The El Niño climate pattern that is strengthening in the Pacific Ocean is on track to be the largest one in at least 150 years”

James Dinneen@jamesdinneen.bsky.social · 2w ago

It's not quite "gobsmackingly bananas" but monster forecasts for the record El Nino brewing the Pacific Ocean get pretty close. Here's what to make of it in my first for @nature.com: 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.

'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies only have one true fix | CBC News

Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

The core needs to extract from the periphery to profit

Jason Hickel@jasonhickel.bsky.social · 2w ago

6. The vast majority of the periphery is not moving into the core. On the contrary, the share of the world population living in the periphery has increased from 80% in 1960 to 86% in 2023. The core has become an increasingly exclusive faction of the world economy.

Moving in the great pastoralist network

This is why I keep saying that nothing will change in how "we" (society, whatever) deal with climate change until people with critical analyses of power are in power-broker positions -- such as high management in media.

Michael E. Mann@michaelemann.bsky.social · 3w ago

My explanation of how climate change is amplifying these wildfires ended up entirely on the @npr.org cutting room floor. Instead they included an extremely misleading of the supposed role of fire suppression and human alteration (expertly debunked here: www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo... )

I smell like sheep again

Just a reminder that there is no safe level of wildfire smoke exposure - it's very much worth limiting time outdoors, filtering indoor air, and wearing an N95 outside. This won't be the last or worst smoke event and health impacts from repeated exposure are cumulative and long-term.

Scientists--if your funding was cut over the last year (for research on climate, global health, DEI, LGBTQ or womens health, etc) but you managed to keep the research going, I want to talk to you for an upcoming article! Plz contact me: gewin at me dot com. Re-posts appreciated!

For folks asking why bother commenting because the OMB won't care: comments help build cases for the courts by explicitly laying out harms. That's why it's really important to have your comments be as specific as possible. Also, contact your senators and reps! They actually do care about this.

Jacquelyn Gill@jacquelyngill.bsky.social · 4w ago

Monday is the deadline for public comment! The Heritage Foundation has been mobilizing its members to leave comments in favor of the rule change, so every unique comment matters (don’t use a form letter or copy/paste—similar comments are batched and treated as one).
