Ahead of your weekend, here is another roundup of highlights from some of what I've been reading - with research from NREL and contributions from @davidshepardson.bsky.social, @jlappen1.bsky.social, and @sammyroth.bsky.social: www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/what-im-read... 🔌💡
A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
Happy Black History month :) youtu.be/4VsE9T4Sr30?...

GM American family, just a gentle reminder that despair is a luxury we cannot afford.
Soothe your tender heart by speaking your truth. 🗣️
Act as if your words feed an irrepressible flame which will dispel this fog of war. 🕯️
YOU hold the power of light which will never forsake you🔥

Trump and Musk just destroyed US soft power. The Chinese, in particular, will be delighted. #USAID
For anyone feeling afraid, I promise you that finding your core issues and advocating for them through writing and calling senators FEELS GOOD
In Germany they are protesting the far right, in the US 🤷🏻♀️.
Thank you for this work. It’s very depressing. Please don’t stop looking for solutions and share what you find with me.

I’m wondering if there’s a gap in law where it’s not illegal to persuade the political market with lies to manipulate votes so there’s very little trust in politicians. In the private market that’s illegal. It’s like we’re in a political bubble.. 🙈 thank you for your clear, affirming words!
Read up on the Daily Digest on the Senate Floor Proceedings www.senate.gov/legislative/... and call your senator! And leave a message if they dont pick up! Make government know what the American people stand for! www.270towin.com/elected-offi...

Heather, my mom called you a national treasure ❤️ thank you for your enduring service to the American people
Sry it’s not a fun thought but I’m calling my senators to expedite this. There’s a bill in congress now but it needs bipartisan support and to be expedited www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
Call your senators to amend the insurrection act. He is planning to use it on April 19 anyway per the southern border as written on the White House declaration of emergency site

I am not interested in this Bluesky feed. I want courage and I want strategy. Let’s ask ourselves: what can we do now to appease our conscience and stand up for future generations. Get educated, call your senators, lean into community, name names, be loud. Remember: government works for the people.
Im open to helping coordinate some development but im clueless about disaster response, if you wanna talk
Is it good?
Happy New Year’s Eve!
It’d be great if Bluesky had a feature to translate foreign languages into your preferred language (with caveats).
And if you’re not with family (like me) then may your Thanksgiving be for giving!
Notice that it’s not just “standing on the shoulders of giants” . It’s
IF WE stand tall it is because WE stand on the shoulders of many ANCESTORS
I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving day with their families this week ❤️
Thank you! 🙏
Haha I’ll do some deep breathing. If you have resources for getting up to speed on cop29 I’ll read them, but don’t feel burdened by my request :) curious what the most important issues are and I’ll discuss with my colleagues over lunch
