What is “the E-Bike Effect?” “Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.” Fewer car trips. Via @lloydalter.bsky.social
E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

Brilliant new paper by Jill Anderson and colleagues using 9 years of transplant experiments and integral projection models to predict the capacity of populations for adaptation and persistence under new climates in Boechera stricta. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Adaptation and gene flow are insufficient to rescue a montane plant under climate change
Climate change increasingly drives local population dynamics, shifts geographic distributions, and threatens persistence. Gene flow and rapid adaptation could rescue declining populations yet are seld...

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com
What's Up With That: Building Bigger Roads Actually Makes Traffic Worse
The concept is called induced demand, which is economist-speak for when increasing the supply of something (like roads) makes people want that thing even more. Though some traffic engineers made note ...

Audubon's work on conservation was also fraught. Audubon’s research benefited from information & specimens collected by enslaved Black men/Indigenous people. Instead of recognizing their contributions, he referred to them as “hands” traveling along with white men. theconversation.com/american-env...
American environmentalism’s racist roots have shaped global thinking about conservation
US ideas about conservation center on walling off land from use. That approach often means expelling Indigenous and other poor people who may be its most effective caretakers.

“The US may have decided to turn protectionist, but the rest of the world does not have to follow the same path.

@dreid63@dreid63.bsky.social · last yr.@liberalca.bsky.social The Times of India headlines are always alarmist, but the speech here by Singapore’s Prime Minister Wong is measured and intelligent. How much trade do we do with Singapore, and are there ways to increase it? #tariffs #globaltrade
