Today, @Public_Citizen and @fjp_org released a report showing Big Oil companies + CEOs could be *criminally* prosecuted for reckless endangerment. By increasing the risk of climate disasters, they're endangering lives. That's a crime. We should prosecute.🧵theguardian.com/us-news/2024…
Sometimes, when the world is a lot, my brain pulls a Loony Toons lever and drops me off a cliff: out of Important Work Mode, into whirlpools of complete bonkers nonsense. Thus, I found myself playing Sherlock Holmes in @Unicode docs for @outsidemagazine. Enjoy the wabbit hole!

It's been an honor to spend the summer up in Dillingham, Alaska reporting on salmon for @kdlgradio. In no particular order, here are a few of my favorite stories:
Chinook/king salmon are a traditional favorite in Alaska, especially for smoking. But their numbers are in decline. This year the Curyung Tribe, Northline Seafoods and BBSRI collaborated on a new project to get more kings to Curyung elders. kdlg.org/news/2024-07-02/kin…
Bristol Bay's fishing economy is driven by family fishing operations. I loved talking with people about what they learned while fishing with their families. kdlg.org/news/2024-07-30/in-…

A major Alaska #Kingsalmon conservation initiative is now in action. For the second year, commercial fishing is delayed in Bristol Bay's biggest Nushagak district to allow more sockeye + kings to get upriver @Duffmegs @kdlgradio

Big banks could help slash agricultural emissions—so why aren’t they?

It's difficult, maybe impossible, to measure or manage corporate emissions with precision. What if we focused on the point of extraction instead?
This piece is about a scathing critique of life cycle analysis and the case for a "carbon takeback obligation"

People are worried and want to do something about climate change, but 99% of the advice around is focused on lifestyle and consumer decisions
This is not just minimally effective for change, but also disempowering and demotivating

In the end, the story of the 737 Max is not about the dangers of sustainable technology.
It’s about the dangers of viewing sustainability solely as a means for profit.
