Environment, books, and legal stuff are my thing. Mid-life JD and dang proud. It’s never too late. Unless you’re dead, but even then …who knows? (lettertoalison at the old place)

Attorneys who work in climate litigation need to (1) make better use of climate attribution science and (2) address the legal standards of causation, which are at odds with scientific standards. Glad to see attribution modeling continuing to improve!

Thank you for saying this out loud. Get on the phone with your colleagues. Emergency sessions immediately. A scared nation looks to you.
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov All hands on deck. You guys are having emergency meetings, right??

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

New England needs a crash program to replace fuel oil/propane heating with heat pumps.
NY fuel prices update. Looks like diesel prices could be the real killer heading into the summer, with agriculture (among other industries) relying on it heavily. See my story from the last war-driven energy price shock: nysfocus.com/2022/09/06/d...

The US average price to charge an EV at home is equivalent to paying $1.57 per gallon of gas. That's a 62% discount on today's gas price. Explore the savings in all 50 states - interactive map at the link below ⤵️ yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/04/what... @climateconnections.bsky.social

All 6 New England states are considering legalizing balcony solar — a plug-in clean energy solution that’s as easy to assemble as an Ikea bookcase.

Tired of Platner. Maine voters will have to decide. But fwiw, I don't trust him and the claim that it was all in the remote past doesn't convince me. Here's a timeline thread of red flags from 2007-2026: 2007 - Nazi tattoo 2008 - Trolls people with Blackwater hat
Amen!
I don't think either political party -- or anyone in politics, really -- is thinking in ambitious enough terms about the electricity grid. We need to start thinking of it as the foundation of our 21st century economy & prosperity. It needs to be rethought, rebuilt, & made a solid base for growth.

This is amazing. When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels. That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.

Alongside our partners, we’re suing the EPA for illegally abandoning its duty to protect us from climate pollution. Its unscientific repeal of vital safeguards defies the law, science, and public interest. We’ll see them in court, and we will win.

We are stepping up to support climate science, solutions, and public service. Announcing the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship program!
American climate science is losing federal support right when we need it most. Project Drawdown is stepping up: launching the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship for early/mid-career PhD scientists to do good science that does good. 🗓️ Apply by April 17 👉 https://bit.ly/4kx2J1Q
Which means oil companies lose their argument that the Clean Air Act preempts state action. Should get interesting in climate litigation!
Breaking News: The Trump administration repealed the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human life and well being, meaning that the EPA can no longer regulate them. nyti.ms/4rSszQu

Indigenous leaders from across Polynesia released the text of a landmark treaty recognizing whales as legal persons & ancestral beings, a move that supporters say could reshape global debates over ocean governance, conservation and Indigenous sovereignty. insideclimatenews.org/news/0502202...
