Welcome to the conversation. As a dues-paying member of the Sierra Club for over 2 decades, I share your concern for protecting our planet. I visited the Sierra Club's HQ in San Francisco with the CEO of one of my brands, a large US brake company. Fine people there.

Environmental indicators this year IS LITERALLY a checklist of ignored warnings.

Climate Change will trump all of future generations' other problems.

Mass migration, millions of refugees, all forced to relocate because their homes are underwater

Florida, Gulf states like Mississippi and Alabama will be destroyed by the climate crisis—all b/c white Boomers failed to address it.

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

Wow, I had no idea. And the reasons are many, including an invasive pest, climate change (hurricanes now reaching into central Florida), deregulation of farming industry, overuse of pesticides, etc, etc. A long list of incompetence by Florida's GOP governance since 2007.

Happy Earth Day 🌳

20 years ago, Massachusetts led the charge to compel the EPA to act on greenhouse gases.

Now, we’re leading the charge once again by suing the Trump Admin for backing off federal climate change regulation.

I won’t sacrifice our kids’ futures for billionaire’s profits.

🌏 Earth Day is a celebration that comes at a time when climate change is affecting communities across the globe.

In 2026, the day continues to acknowledge our planet, how it provides for us and ways we can protect and preserve its beauty.

Climate adaptation plans are being drafted like the timeline is generous. It isn’t. We must get our climate fixed now.

Wildfire-Driven Deforestation Rates in California Among Highest in World California has one of the highest rates of wildfire-driven deforestation in the world, and the trend has accelerated over the past three decades, according to a UC Davis study.

CA has some of the highest wildfire-driven forest losses in the world, yet reforestation efforts fall far behind the rate of loss, a @ucdavis.bsky.social study finds.🔥🌲 🌎www.ucdavis.edu/climate/news/wildfire-dr...

Remote work has reshaped cities faster than any zoning reform.

Office districts now function as architectural relics of a previous economic era. #thoughts

Digital culture moves faster than context can catch up.

Trends appear, peak, and evaporate before anyone has time to understand what they meant.

Velocity has replaced meaning as the dominant metric. Sucks!!!!#popsky

I really admire these! I hope you do too!

Love much of America. Many problems though.

One small problem: Spotify forced Kalifornication into my ears twice this morning.

Hi all people. Be happy and safe!

In America this story of Jesus rising so confused with Big Bunny and eggs. Ha!

Oh!

Kristi Noem’s dentist deserves a plaque for going where Corey Lewadowski has been.

If you know how science *actually* works -- not "the" Scientific Method™ as a simplistic algorithm a robot could do -- you'll know that building up auxiliary knowledge through experience, including trial and error, exploration, and failure ("grunt work"), *is* how you become a good scientist.

France condemns effort to delay major IPCC climate report The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change publishes reports every five to seven years whose findings on the science of global warming are the benchmark reference for the United Nations.

France has condemned efforts by Saudi Arabia and India to delay release of the next @ipcc.bsky.social report.

Countries supporting an on-time release want the report published before a “global stock take” scheduled to occur at the 2028 UN climate summit. From @lemonde.fr:

Conserving biodiversity and sequestering carbon naturally are 2 different things

By selling conservation as carbon capture we encourage an obsession on forests & peatlands

This morning I guest lectured for @whitenacklab.bsky.social ‘s introduction to marine biology class at Allegheny college! If your class needs a guest lecture about sharks, marine biology, ocean conservation policy, or science communication related to any of these topics, let’s chat!

Speculation Miliband will approve drilling new oil and gas field 'unfounded' government says There are calls for more drilling to take place as the UK deals with the energy price shock from the Middle East war. The UK government has not ruled out approving the field.

Don't do it Ed. Your grandchildren, if your kids have kids, will never forgive you.

Pete Hegseth X post. Back to the some age.

Give up your make up studio. Give up your military home to live in a cave. Hunt for your food. Wear animal skin. Build fires. Demonstrate your strength
