Take a timeline cleanse to watch clam mating in action and the resulting clam babies. External fertilization is a hoot!

Thanks for an incredibly insightful thread! As a New Englander mid-transition from oil heat to air-sourced heat pumps (literally half the house complete), I'm very interested in where we (individually and collectively) go from here.

HR: Tell me why you're qualified to write headlines for our newspaper

Candidate: The list I bring to the grocery store each week is just one item: "FAMINE ENSUES AS KITCHEN CABINETS GO BARE"

HR: You're hired

I study the Gulf Stream and I am the opposite of mad at you for pointing this out.

My summary: good policy would create separate, super-ambitious, goals for reducing the emission of each gas as quickly as possible. If tangling the two via GWP shorthand doesn't help accomplish the achievement of these goals, then ditch it.

Very much enjoying the deep dive on methane and CO2 from @hausfath.bsky.social and others. I especially appreciate @bobkopp.net's pithy way of making it all make sense below. Worth the rabbit hole ... if radiative forcing lights you up.

No Kings in Westerly, RI - huge turnout, hopeful vibe. Little Rhody had at least 4 locations, and I had friends at three different ones. All reported great crowds

Growing up means acknowledging many problems can be important at the same time. Finding hope means working on whichever solutions need your time and talents.

Trading some corn-ethanol land for solar offers ‘tremendous opportunity’ | Cornell Chronicle In the U.S., strategically converting a small fraction of land used to grow corn for ethanol to solar facilities could vastly increase energy production per hectare, as well as provide ecological bene...

If you work hard to convince people that burning corn for fuel is a solution to anything, then you are either someone who really wants to sell corn or someone totally willing to sell out

Mass. governor orders state to pursue 15 GW of resources, including storage, VPPs The executive order also calls for a review of existing gas and oil storage capacity and utilization, including how the Everett LNG import terminal helps meet the region’s energy needs.

This is the right approach to tackling energy affordability in New England. Focus on low-cost solar, energy storage, and demand side management:

Haven’t had it for over 20 years, but my memory of Church’s Fried Chicken in North Carolina is a very good memory

Wow

I dream of a time when people, like Bavishi, with expertise, vision, and compassion are again elevated to positions of leadership and we begin the work of building back and building anew.

At NOAA she worked to operationalize the philosophy that building resilience requires working toward equity. Her simple argument: When benefits of an action accrue primarily to a single group, that action will not be resilient against challenge (4/5)

In the Mayor's Office of NYC, she institutionalized the rules that make the city safer for its inhabitants as climate changes. It is now the LAW that hugely important but often invisible decisions (the width of a drainage pipe, the freeboard on a building) take account of risks. (3/5)

She cared for people across NOAA as they were RIFed from their jobs during the 2025 chaos, doing whatever she could to support them. (2/5)

I'm buzzing since yesterday's @urigso.bsky.social Fish Lecture -- named for a family with surname Fish, not (always) about the animals. The speaker was a career-long leader in coastal resilience and urban planning, Janey Bavishi, and she inspired me in at least 3 ways (1/5)

I've been looking forward to this one! Can't wait to listen

What a cool idea!

Thanks! Will you be at OSM? Maybe I can grab a minute to learn more.

I'm very interested in your work! What do the colors in Figure 3 represent? Is "RMT" regional mean temperature of Northern Europe (if so, what boundaries)?

🌊 With @metcalfuri.bsky.social, the amazing @jfrancisclimate.bsky.social will explain extreme winter weather, and expert guru @kevinjkircher.com will discuss system-level changes to keep people safe and comfortable in any condition. Timely for all of us in week 4+ of shivering on the east coast!

Imagine having access to resources and talent to solve some really urgent and important problems. And, instead, you choose some vulnerable group of people and blame them for all the problems and create a whole vortex of chaos to publicly punish and shame those people. Like, why?

Poster child for ranked-choice voting, at least in primaries

Thanks! If you hear of anyone doing the research to see if/how/at-what-cost this could happen, I'd love to know. I want to own my EV for like 15 or more years, and juicing them for home back-up would add a lot of value to me.

Is there any hope for older vehicles to be upgraded for V2H capability? Seems like lots of folks would sign up at the right price point (I sure would).
