At the Drilled Floodlight disinfo workshop Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) 2024 conference the exact definition of disinformation has come up a couple times already. I like Phil Newell's version: 'Wrong, on purpose, for money.'

Looking forward to where this wonderful initiative goes. Tagging Metcalf Institute community to take a look and sign up. The more journalists who engage the more we will better understand the intersections between mental health, climate, and environmental journalism.

Don't sleep on the state 'climate superfund' bills making their way through several state legislatures right now. I wrote about why they may have an advantage over lawsuits against big oil for climate damages, none of which have even gone to trial... heatmap.news/climate/climat…

People are worried and want to do something about climate change, but 99% of the advice around is focused on lifestyle and consumer decisions

The atmosphere you knew is gone - it now holds ~10% more water vapour than just 30 years ago. That's an incredible rise in such a short period. Every 1C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more. The rainfall accumulation for the UK/Ireland the past 12 months has been incredible.

Job alert from Metcalf Institute. We are hiring a new Assistant Director to help shape programming, lead operations and grow Metcalf's impact. BIPOC individuals are especially encouraged to apply. We support a hybrid work environment. jobs.uri.edu/postings/13113

For all you folks freezing your butts off tonight:

Fourteen farms and ranches in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Montana are taking part in a three-year study on the benefits and barriers of regenerative agriculture among Indigenous ranchers and farmers.

Who will benefit from the ocean’s riches? The lack of proper governance has led to the mismanagement of the seabed resources and consolidation of control among a privileged few. My recent article on #DeepSeaMining addresses these issues Unbias the News at #IJF24

Agreed! Visuals matter in how we communicate climate just as much as the words we use.
