I have been writing about climate change for 15 years and this year I have been experiencing more deeply disturbing cognitive dissonance than ever before
One thing I think not enough people know is that the US is the biggest oil producer in the world and this year, eight years since the Paris Agreement was signed, will be the biggest single year for US oil production in history. 2024 will break that record.
Major Fossil Fuel Producers Are Likely to Blow Past Climate Change Targets
Countries including U.S., Russia, and China are set to blow past production goals in spite of pledges to reduce fossil fuel dependence.

ICYMI I wrote about the need to disconnect book publishing from hiring/advancement and to enable scholars across institutional types (and outside academia) to write the books they want to write (and publishers want to publish).
It’s alive! For my 2nd Chronicle column I tackled turning the diss into a book and, crucially, how wildly unsustainable the current publish-or-perish culture is for both scholars and publishers. We love scholarly books! Bad credentialing systems not so much though.

Two white chicks translate ancient poems,
and here are the ways you may know 'em.
If the poetry scans,
you know it's not Anne's.
The Brit one
is Wilson.
Prof. Carson is older.
Prof. Wilson did Homer.
Both wear black, and translated the Bacchae.
