The fire that took out my town, did so without regard to the politics of the home owners. Solutions should be apolitical as well. Nice piece by my friend, Joe Árvai.

How the oil industry and growing political divides turned climate change into a partisan issue

I don’t want to follow Korean politics, but at this point I have to. 🤦‍♀️ Can’t believe this happened in 2024.
This is absolutely not the news I would have dreamed of waking up to. South Korea's Yoon declares emergency martial law. to I have some scattered thoughts to follow. m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN2024...

I am presenting a poster at APSA later today! - @tbalogh.bsky.social and I look at whether a party known for prioritizing the economy enjoys an advantage over parties known for prioritizing the environment. If you are free at 2pm, come and say hello :)

@bsky.app increased the size of Start Packs from 50 to 150, so I consolidated the two Starter Packs of journalists who work on climate, energy, and the environment.

I hope it’s useful. Please let me know if there’s someone else I should add.

Please share on other platforms as well!

I'm going to do a big update on the Greensky list sometime in the next few days + put some real effort into tuning and improving the keyword filter

If you are someone who works on or posts mostly about climate, submit here! It's meant to be very broad and inclusive

I heard that junior scholars are often ‘meaner’ reviewers. However, according to my advisor, both the quantity and quality of the papers that he receives now (as a full professor) are significantly different (as in better) from those he reviewed in his early career. 🤔

I’ve been waiting for something exciting to happen for my first post here, and here it is - My dissertation project was selected for @apsa.bsky.social DDRIG! 🥳 So happy and honored! I’m excited that I finally get to run my experiment on how protectionism affects support for climate change policies 🤓
