When making a conceptual diagram for a manuscript, where do y'all get plant/tree images from? Or do you draw/make your own? #plantphysiology #plantecophys #ecology

An article by SW CASC co-PI Mark Schwartz was published this week by Stanford Social Innovation Review. Read "Rethinking Risk and Responsibility in the Western Wildfire Crisis," at the link below ⬇️ ssir.org/articles/entry…

To rein in and reverse climate change we need to go beyond net zero GHG emissions. We need global emissions to become negative. The trouble with net zero, by David Roberts open.substack.com/pub/davidrober…

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT Prof. Eliot Jacobson

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike. Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

We’re at 1.3C, on course for 1.5C in years, 2C in a decade or so & 3C well before the end of this century. Anyone trying to downplay this is either a fucking idiot or is paid to distract you from the fact this will likely lead to the end of our civilisation within your lifetime.

The extent of global sea ice has been consistently setting new daily records for at least the last two months... More sea ice graphics available at zacklabe.com/global-sea-ice…

#ClimateChange is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes We are taking Earth’s climate way beyond natural limits, with carbon dioxide and temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years

Well after all of the discussion over the last few weeks, I guess I have to share my own version of sea surface temperature anomalies in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Here is July from 1850 to 2023... Data available from NOAA ERSSTv5 (psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/d…).

Another view of our record-breaking July... 🟥 - warmer than average 🟦 - colder than average Overall, the average July global air temperature was +1.18°C above 1951-1980 climate baseline (+1.42°C above the 1880-1920 baseline). Data code: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/source….

Scientists are starting better understand how aerosols emitted from trees seed clouds and increase albedo. arstechnica.com/science/2023/0…

The documentary Elemental continues to make the rounds, so I’ll recommend this review by the Association for Fire Ecology Association for Fire Ecology : fireecology.org/news/elemental
