Big day for me: The book officially drops today.
Trying not to be too obnoxious in terms of self-promo - but I did want to give some shout outs to the various Big Brains (TM) who helped me formulate my thoughts.
(Sorry in advance - long thread.)

"What is playing out all over the world right now is entirely consistent with what scientists expect. No one wants to be right about this. But if I’m honest, I am stunned by the ferocity of the impacts we are currently experiencing."

BREAKING: June 2023 has blown away all prior records for the month of June, coming in at a staggering 0.16C above the prior record set in 2019.
It was around 1.46C above the typical temperatures we saw in June in the preindustrial era (1850-1899).

Yesterday was the 3rd worst wildfire pollution event in US history, we calculate, just behind 2 days in 2020 that hit the west coast. Don't have today's data yet, but it could be the worst. Pollution levels are lower in this ongoing event but many more people are exposed.
This was a very cool segment.
More otters, less atmospheric carbon. Sounds like a win-win for the planet, amiright? Dr. Trisha Atwood of @USUAggies talks about the new paper in @NatureClimate on how rewilding might help us capture more carbon. sciencefriday.com/segments/r…
This is fucking wild. Ugh.
Ohio proposes bill that could limit teaching about climate change on university campuses.
“You can say gravity isn't true, but if you step off the cliff, you’re going down,” says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe about restrictions on teaching.

Tim Scott and every other Republican voted to allow private jet and yacht owners to write off 100% of their purchase…. But you want stricter work requirements for people living 137% below poverty line? STOP IT
Shout out @klundster! Not sure I've been credited with co-inventing a term before...
"The term was 1st coined by brand strategist Jerry Stifelman and writer Sami Grover in 2008 for Treehugger.com. It found its way into academia in 2017..."

Day 15 of #EastPrairieMetisSettlement volunteers with SRD support managed to save houses just 200 meters ahead of these flames. We requested two additional fire & water trucks from @ABDanielleSmith ministry “crickets” – at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I had the immense honor of being a guest on Dr. Pamela McCauley's podcast, Stepping Up STEM.
We had an incredible conversation that I can't wait for you to check out.

Well deserved.
Thanks for the shout out @NCCU! As a Durham native and second-generation Eagle, I love representing my alma mater out in the community. 🦅

Somberly quiet, the Ride of Silence recognizes people killed or injured while biking. Seeing the ride organized by @BikeDurham — without the usual joy and noise of a group ride — caught me off guard, until it was ending. Over 100 cyclists went by without a word.

"You may block out my words with cognitive dissonance and feeble excuses, but maybe one day you might realise there was never any reasonable excuse for endangering the future of life on earth"

I just spoke to my new nemesis CEO of @Equinor and its majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM.
These are the very people who decide whether we avert climate catastrophe or keep throwing fuel on the crisis and let millions of people die. (pt. 2 in thread)

As I left the House chambers, I pressed my light to speak—a reminder that this legislature is removing 11,000 Montanans from discussion on every bill going forward.
I will always stand on behalf of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself.
I think I remember @MaryHeglar saying this before the sale even went through.
I hear the New York Times just did a piece on greenhushing. I guess I was ahead of my time…
Ironic. Speaking at LA @greenfestival on greenHUSHING on saturday. And I have lost my bloody voice. :-(
