Great dissection of where the world stands on climate 10 years after Paris: better than ever; worse than needed.

But lemme quibble a bit with the COβ‚‚β‚‘ emissions pathways painted here.

Started a talk this week by asking how many in the audience had read Merchants of Doubt. No one had. So here's lead author Naomi Oreskes summarising the book.

One take-away: science and unregulated markets are not compatible because science points out market failures

⭐ After quite some time in the making, I’m excited to share our new paper!🌿⭐

We examined people's climate-relevant behaviors (driving, air travel, public transport use, and meat consumption) and their perceptions of how feasible it would be to change them (+ expected wellbeing impacts).

Oh wow, that is deeply rewarding to hear. Thank you and hope all is well in your work.

This morning, I’m at the CSCW conference in a session on β€œActivism in a Time if Data.” Most of the papers seem to assume activism for β€œgood,” ending with design recs for supporting activism. As far as I can tell, none of the papers center right wing activism. Seems like we have a massive blind spot.

This is very well worded
Today's email to an associate editor, declining to review for a big corporate publisher. This one focuses on Nature Publishing Group's practice of funneling rejected manuscripts to their newer journals with hefty APCs.

What do you think about it? I'm conflicted. Debate, yes, in general; but Volt has a point to try to avoid debating climate change with a denier. It would make little sense to debate with a Holocaust denier.

This is an absurd, protectionist waste of time. Get on the ball, EU. We have actual problems.

I always admired the field study award spsp.org/membership/a.... Now is a great time for this shared recognition, as our group is prioritizing behavioral traces, field studies, life cycle analysis / material flow analysis, and other ways to stay grounded in real world behavior and impact.

You and me both, friend. Deep red

I never knew how much wild space the US had, particularly in the west, until I moved to Europe. I grew up on European fantasy and fairy tales and I imagined vast, dark forests

Ahh thanks, I see now. You don't believe in a specific circle with named factors and one direction that is the only version of science
