Working on system transformation to deal with Climate Change and other hard things.
Important thread.
The new 2025 Global Carbon Budget finds that fossil fuel emissions will reach a new high in 2025. Total CO2 emissions (including land use) remain flat at 2024 levels.

While the land sink is up from 2024, carbon sinks are weakening: www.carbonbrief.org/...

I’m curious if anyone sees what I’m posting here on Bluesky?

If you’re not interested that’s cool, but it’s another thing if you’re just not seeing it.

So this caught my attention this morning:

In Myanmar's Kachin State, the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) regulates timber harvesting, manages land use, and supports local climate adaptation efforts.

Here's why I think it matters 🧵👇
Rebel Governance in an Age of Climate Change
In Myanmar’s resource-rich Kachin State, deforestation linked to illegal logging and mining has surged over the past decade. While the national government struggles to assert control, the Kachin [...]

Damn, for a game where the top player is making $700 million in a ten year contract, Baseball is remarkably boring.

Thank God for good friends. And beer.

It’s a fine morning in Bellevue, WA, and I’m on the lookout for some good coffee and breakfast.

New Nature World View from @scottstgeorge.paleohydrology.com on the challenges that climate risk poses to the insurance sector.

When risks go up, losses go up, prices go up.
Adaptation to reduce vulnerability can help.
But as long as carbon emissions continue, risk will continue to rise.
Climate change will send home insurance spiralling. Here’s how to control costs | Nature
Insurers rely on sophisticated catastrophe modelling to estimate risk exposure — and as climate risks are rising, so are the costs for protection. Insurers rely on sophisticated catastrophe modelling to estimate risk exposure — and as climate risks are rising, so are the costs for protection.

Hi BlueSky! I'm moving here from the other place.

I work in climate and system transformation through local government (I'm a city councillor in Nelson BC and founder of ClimateCaucus) and as the Director of @canadapt.bsky.social .

We're helping Communities of Practice deal with the #PolyCrisis.
