This news is neither abstract, far into the future, irrelevant nor hard to understand - which are the usual excuses for not covering the climate emergency. And yet it's not dominating the news. In fact it barely gets a mention. This is an active choice that sends a clear signal.

On a day for the history books, Amanda Gorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

We're back in the Paris Climate Agreement.

Thanks Jad! I'm so lucky to work with these amazing women every day!

I'm so tired of emails, slacks, zooms, phone calls, etc. I just want to walk into someone's office unannounced, plop down, ask them a question, brainstorm on something unrelated, chit chat for a while, then walk out completely forgetting why I stopped by in the first place.

The Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS), a collaborative effort among the USDA Forest Service, universities, conservation organizations, and forest industry, is a leading organization in climate adaptation and forest carbon management.

There is so much work to be done to repair the relationship between Indigenous Nations & the United States. Deb Haaland is now the FIRST Native American cabinet secretary & the FIRST Native American to lead the Department of Interior. An important & long overdue first step.

Yes!!! Good luck, Deb! 👏👏👏

By translating stacks of Hawaiian native-language newspapers from the 1800s, scientists uncovered a treasure trove of historical climate data, which is helping shape the state's hurricane policies today. Amazing piece from @sherrifflucy on FUTURE HUMAN: futurehuman.medium.com/hawaiis-forgot…

Forested watersheds provide a myriad of benefits, from improving water quality to reducing flood damages. Taking action now can help watersheds prepare for and adapt to a changing climate. Learn about strategies for forested watershed adaptation at forestadaptation.org/focus/forested…

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: "The work of our generation is to say goodbye to old practices that don't serve us anymore, and to put them all behind us. One conviction, even one like this one, can create a powerful new opening to shed old practices and reset relationships."

On #EarthDay2021, we recognize the critical role we play in climate adaptation & carbon science. Together, we can #RestoreOurEarth by managing forests in the face of a changing climate, ensuring the benefits trees provide to people, wildlife, & ecosystems for generations to come.

Americans alarmed about climate change are now the largest group in the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication's Six Americas. And they should be: in fact, everyone should be alarmed. Why? Because the planet will be orbiting the sun long after we're gone. The question is, will we?
