Our new paper about Air Quality Equity in US Climate Policy is out today in @PNASNews!
The figure highlights the pervasiveness of national and state-level air pollution disparities. But can climate policy change this pattern?
See🧵below or paper here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…
We have a new paper out today about the statistical estimation of climate impacts and how that process intersects with the physical climate! Want more summary? Find me on blue sky!

☁️ New study on marine cloud brightening out in @NatureClimate ☁️
Regional marine cloud brightening (MCB) in the North Pacific reduces extreme heat over the Western U.S. under present-day conditions but becomes ineffective under mid-century warming.

Has the Coastal Commission made housing and climate crises worse? It’s offended at even the suggestion dlvr.it/T8SmnC

We propose a framework for understanding climate justice in research.
Let's dive in, shall we?
Long 🧵🧵🧵

New @PNASNews paper on quantifying fire-specific smoke impacts, expertly led by @jeffliwen. We link each big wildfire (2006-2020) in the US to its impact on PM2.5 and health. Complements typical fire impact measures (burned area, structures lost, etc). 🧵pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…
At #AGU23 this week. Come check out my talk on aerosols in climate policy on Mon at 10:40am or my poster on the role
of physical science in statistical climate impact models on Thurs afternoon. Also free to reach out if you want to chat!

We asked about scientists' climate beliefs, climate actions, the role of scientists and academic institutions, and what is required to address climate change.
91% of all surveyed scientists believe that we need fundamental changes to social, economic, and political systems.

📢 New paper! This week's @ScienceMagazine Policy Forum.
"Air quality policy should quantify effects on disparities"
New tools can guide US policies to better target and reduce racial and socioeconomic disparities in air pollution exposure.

Johnson & Johnson (@JNJGlobalHealth) is unjustly extending a patent on a life-saving tuberculosis drug. Today's the day for them to realize denying MDR-TB patients treatment is not worth the harm they're causing to core brands like Tylenol and Neutrogena. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…
For more information on how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is incorporating equity so far, I would suggest this commentary from the Brookings Institute: brookings.edu/blog/the-avenu…
A huge thanks to my wonderful coauthors for their many contributions to this project! Sean Reese, @katericke, and @jaburney, at @Scripps_Ocean and @GPS_UCSD
