I'm looking forward to presenting today at Mannheim. At the start of COP30, debate about progress on climate change highlights the important role of grassroots activists; but they are often silenced. 👇 We want to understand when and why environmental defenders are victimized.

#pickleball can be played competitively or cooperatively. With the latter it's a form of meditation. It's an easy game to enjoy on the first try and with friends, family, kids, and grandparents - but mastery of it is another matter.

@ryankatzrosene.bsky.social makes an interesting argument on Bill Gates’ position shift on climate change in @theconversation.com:
as climate politics is so sensitive to framing, how should we, as scientists, frame our message?

Why Bill Gates’ climate memo is being celebrated by skeptics while frustrating scientists

This is so sick, and also confirms what I’ve been saying for a while: the point of the boat bombings is to make snuff films Trump can post on social media.
Every single one of those bombings has killed someone’s child, someone’s father, someone’s spouse. And to them, it is a joke. It is content.

What’s driving the upcoming record breaking cold snap?? It’s widespread warmth (up-to 30F above normal) and intense blocking in the Arctic/ Greenland/N Canada.
That is squeezing out the (tropospheric) Cold Polar Vortex and forcing it south deep into the US… 1/

How an enduring debate over health care sparked a now record-long shutdown
At the heart of the impasse is a debate about expiring subsidies for health insurance. It's the latest chapter in a fight over Obamacare that has dominated Congress since the law was signed in 2010.
