When the @USFWS picks and chooses the mining company’s “science” to obfuscate facts about habitat destruction. This project spells doom for Tiehm’s buckwheat and its pollinators. @AlanHalaly reviewjournal.com/business/e…

"Climate Extremes: At The Abyss?" is now available for viewing. In this new documentary film, we discuss the complexity of Earth system dynamics on a warming planet--including the rising risk of reaching dangerous "tipping points." #ClimateChange #AMOC

The clean power industry is innovating with pace & purpose paired with a forward-looking strategy.
Speaking to a packed house at #CLEANPOWER24, I touched on the tremendous progress the industry has made, but how democracy not keeping up is a barrier to our long-term progress.

As always, this live office hour session was recorded. I think quite a few folks would be interested in this (extended) discussion on the complex considerations that go into estimates of how much Earth will warm this century. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming youtube.com/watch?v=kh2MRmAC…
In my next live YouTube session, I'll discuss the recent (informal) survey of #climate scientists & their views on the likelihood of limiting #GlobalWarming to certain target levels--including where I agree & disagree w/my colleagues. Tune in 10am PT Fri! youtube.com/live/kh2MRmACADw…

It's May again, and (as part of a now annual tradition!) I wanted to re-share this thread on my own personal experience with #hEDS (as a patient & scientist-communicator) as well as offer some new thoughts on managing work & life with complex/chronic medical conditions.
Although I almost always keep my Tweets focused on weather, climate change, and related Earth system events, this thread is going to be a little more personal. May is #EhlersDanlosAwarenessMonth...and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hypermobility type). #hEDS (1/41)

I look forward to reflecting on the State of Clean Power - #CLEANPOWER24 - in Minneapolis May 6-9.
Hope to see you there!

Hi Folks:
One month after hiring me, CDFW decided to cut CA's human-wildlife conflict program for the next fiscal year, to the immense detriment of myself, many staff, & Californians.
By accepting this job, I had declined other offers. I am now seeking alternatives. Thank you💙
Hi friends- I'm excited to let y'all know that I've accepted an offer to become the new Statewide Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist at @CaliforniaDFW starting in a few months! 🐾👣
Our Kenya work will continue as well! All good things, and I'm so incredibly grateful. 🤗

I’m really pleased that our paper describing an overwinter protocol for surveys of #wolverine s and other other #carnivore s is out! If you deploy #cameratrap s with an attractant, especially during winter, it might be of interest.

Well, here we are at the draft EIS. 🧐Whether it's 40, 30, or 20%, any mining activity in the habitat deemed essential for Tiehm's buckwheat, which only occupies 10 acres, is too much. Team buckwheat is reporting for duty. Stay tuned! 🫡💚🌼biologicaldiversity.org/w/ne…

Penstemon albomarginatus is a deep rooted dune plant that occurs in AZ, CA & NV. It was recently petitioned to be listed under the federal ESA by the @CenterForBioDiv due to many threats. The pops in San Bernardino County, CA are dwindling due to habitat degradation and drought.
