Wonderfully crafted message and post, hat tipped for clarity, for tone, for reach, and for target audience. Impressive and admirable. No notes, just wishing you the strength, reach and funding to grow your efforts.

As an example to do better its pretty good too. Sheesh.

Climate determines how, when, and where we grow crops — as well as how we allocate water, design infrastructure, plan for risk, and much more.

Climate info isn’t optional: it’s necessary. And when it’s changing so quickly, it’s even more vital. Without it, we're driving blindfolded into the future.

Great news! This documentary by Fugue State Films called Cowboy and Preacher was broadcast nationally on PBS World and is now available to watch online for free. The film follows rancher and retired pastor Tri Robinson and explores the space where Christianity and environmentalism meet.

Who should pay for the climate crisis? A new study names names—and puts a multi-trillion-dollar price tag on the damage from extreme heat alone.

Good news: A new study offers rigorous evidence to support legal action against major polluters by identifying specific fossil fuel companies responsible for $28 trillion in climate damages.

Not-so-good news: In the U.S., the National Climate Assessment, which provides the essential, localized climate info needed for resilience planning, is being dismantled, with all 400 authors dismissed last week.

What you can do: It’s student move-out season—aka “mountains of stuff headed for landfills.” But it doesn’t have to be that way; dozens of campuses are reducing emissions and waste as well as helping local communities through recycling and donation drives.

Great work done by the lovely volunteers who came out last week to plant at Tayport Common saltmarsh. Over the two days we planted out 1200 plants to help stop erosion, build saltmarsh habitat and store carbon.
Is it bad that we'd like some rain now to help the plants establish?

I've re-written, expanded, and updated my iconic 2018 Twitter thread explaining how we know without a shadow of a doubt that humans are causing climate change.

Good news for today! The American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society are teaming up to support climate science in the US and fill the vacuum left by the cancellation of the support team and dismissal of the authors of the Sixth National Climate Assessment.

Specifically, they "invite manuscripts for a new, first-of-its-kind special collection focused on climate change in the United States."

What gives me hope? When clean energy alleviates poverty, leaders speak up for justice, and people realize they’re not alone in caring about climate.

Good news: Pakistan installed 22 GW of solar in 2023—more than Canada ever has, and more than the UK added in the past five years.

Not-so-good news: The world lost Pope Francis last week. He was a fearless advocate for climate justice, continually reminding us that climate change is a moral issue that hits the most vulnerable first and worst.

What you can do: Two new studies show most people care about climate change—but they don't talk about it, because they think others don’t. When we speak up, we empower action!

The City Nature Challenge 2025 kicks off today, April 25! From now until April 28 you can take pictures of wild plants and animals you observe in your city and then upload them via the iNaturalist app. It’s like Pokémon Go for nature! Then, from April 29 through May 4, log on to help identify what was found. See citynaturechallenge.org for more details.

Build solar and wind.

That's the job, don't be distracted.

The job is ending carbon by building the new energy. Don't be distracted.

Climate warming, forest fires, climate storms, tornado clusters, dying on your bed from rhe heat, is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Build the new energy, make carbon redundant, un-used, un-needed UNDERGROUND.

DON'T BE DISTRACTED.

BUILD SUN AND WIND.

DO NOT BE DISTRACTED.

Absolutely chilling episode of Tech Won't Save Us from last month talked in part about how many Christian leaders do "get" a lot, but their congregation is not interested in hearing it. techwontsave.us/episode/275_th…

The tides were good for planting on the Eden estuary this week, and we had some lovely volunteers to help us. This was the Tuesday group.

If climate justice had a formula, it could be this:

One tenacious lawyer + 2,500 determined senior women = a ruling that reinvents climate accountability

With science, law, and relentless determination, Cordelia Bähr didn’t just fight for justice—she redefined it.

I'm delighted to recognize her groundbreaking work with this citation!
