Important UK air pollution news: Analysis by Pippa Neill ENDS Report finds thousands of hours of data missing from pollution monitors around the country, system "is not fit for purpose."

With SCOTUS limiting use of the Clean Air Act on climate change, I took a look for Scientific American at what we can learn from the history of this remarkable law -- the legacy of a time when American politics still functioned. scientificamerican.com/article/the-cl…

.Elizabeth Kolbert is so good at what she does that this climate A-Z is somehow both a comprehensive primer on the daunting crisis AND a real pleasure to read. Don't miss it newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…

In 1968, scientists Elmer Robinson and Bob Robbins warned oil companies about climate change. Decades later, Carroll Muffett rediscovered their work. Now it's central to lawsuits demanding industry help pay for the consequences. I tell their story in Yale Environment 360 e360.yale.edu/features/clima…

Two long-forgotten 1960s oil industry climate studies warned of "severe" damage from burning fossil fuels. The recently rediscovered papers, which predate Exxon’s extensive 1970s climate research, are now playing a key role in lawsuits against oil majors. e360.yale.edu/features/clima…

Thanks for sharing my Yale Environment 360 article, Sheldon Whitehouse!

A 1969 oil industry study said CO2 levels would reach 370 parts per million by 2000 — the actual reading was 369.71. Though long forgotten, the research was recently unearthed and is now playing a key role in climate lawsuits against oil majors. e360.yale.edu/features/clima…

Excellent piece by Beth Gardiner that underscores how the climate crisis is not just about the future. It is also about the past - who knew what when, who is responsible for loss and damages, and who pays.

I had a fascinating conversation with Christian D. Menefee about the challenges of trying to reduce Houston's toxic pollution as state leaders limit local officials' power to act. Read it on Yale Environment 360

Love this fabulous review for Life Unseen, the brilliant Selina Mills Selina Mills's history and memoir of blindness, "a cracking tale, mixing reflections on science, art, literature and religion with Mills’s own experience ... important and hugely enjoyable." Can't wait read!

Indonesia's experience illustrates the complexities of trying to stem a global tide of plastic waste that grows larger every year. With support from the Pulitzer Center, I took an up-close look:

Terrific new story by @McGrawCenter Fellow Beth Gardiner about the fossil-fuel industry's plans to save itself by massively increasing the production of plastics -- the terrible health and environmental consequenses be damned! Check it out: scientificamerican.com/article/how-fo…
