Researchers modeled different consumer level interventions like lowering food waste, substituting beef for chicken... going "meatless mondays," which amount to 51% when taken together:

You can see the breakdown of your city's consumption and overall hoofprint as it lines up. New York metro area is below average. 📊 But in terms of overall consumption, the area exceed ghg emissions of Maine and New Hampshire combined.

Researchers modeled feed, cattle raising, and processing supply chains to identify main sources of ghg emissions. Interestingly, there's little correlation between per capita consumption and a city's hoofprint. So much comes down to how the livestock's raised:

ICE detention centers are built in some of the hottest places in the country. Planned expanded and new facilities will only exacerbate these environmental hazards our analysis found.

An unforgettable moment was the conclusion of the burn on Tishaniik Farm. After burning the perimeter, practitioners, volunteers, community members (ahem @murphywoodhouse.bsky.social), let the fire take over the field. At an unbelievable clip. @byaliceli.bsky.social caught the action:

Burns like these tend to bring greater biodiversity, as well as lower wildfire risks, Gavin Jones a leading pyroecologist (cool title) told us. Much of the country likely benefited from fire regimes like these.

I was surprised how much sun could shine through otherwise dense forests. Hiking for years in California did not prepare me for the difference in fauna over these burned areas.

Margo Robbins, co-founder of the Cultural Fire Management Council, as well as @culturalfire.bsky.social gave us their time and access to see what fire treatment does to the landscape. They are part of a generational movement spreading lessons from cultural fire.

Traditional knowledge tells us fires have been a part of the landscape for millennia. Burn scars data show but a slice of that history of fire in the forests until Western colonization all but snuffed it out starting in the 19th century 📊:

the effects can be attributed to influences to the subtropical jetstream as the globe warms.

much of travel through the southwest of the US will feel the brunt of these changes in Foudad's models... here's a flight from LAX to CHS:

many thanks to @chrisalcantara.com for his work, especially this astounding intro

at home testing is ephemeral at best at gauging your risk of exposure, say experts. and boiling water risks aerosolizing any present harmful compounds

SCOTUS struck down affirmative action at harvard and unc. to understand how this impacts diverse student bodies, we looked at 30 yrs of admissions data to see what happens when states ban affirmative action:
