I have had my SUV (sustainable urban vehicle) for two full years! 🎉🚲🍾I biked 5400 miles across 2700 trips. This works out to just over 2 miles per trip. These things are so much FUN to ride, plus they are tremendously efficient compared to cars and saved us thousands of 💵Here's what I learned: 1/15

Preventing methane leaks is in my top five climate solutions. This is very stupid.

To folks who follow me on Bluesky & appreciate the journalism I do. Can you please read the EPA story and post on social media platforms if you are so moved. This kind of work is important. But it only matters if people read it and engage with it. Here's the link. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

The hidden history of how Big Oil invented the American Dream

Pleased to see this with a shout out to our Climate Change Literacy GE requirement that was passed by our Academic Senate !!

🌍 “This is no longer a warning for the future; it is a diagnosis of the present.” Our 2026 State of the Climate report finds 7 of 16 planetary vital signs at record extremes. The planetary emergency is already here. doi.org/10.1093/bios...

We lost a student in a collision on campus this Spring on a campus road with a 45 mph posted speed limit. He was blamed in the court of public opinion for not wearing his helmet. I wrote why focusing on helmets in high speed crashes with cars is the wrong lesson to take away from this tragedy.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

We don't build streets like this anymore. I'm not talking about the brick pavers. Nor the centuries-old Dutch architecture. I'm talking about the scale. The feeling. The idea that a 2-year-old can just ride his balance bike in the middle of the street, equal to anyone else.

Dear colleagues, CJUU's North American branch invites EVERYONE to join us Friday Oct 16 for a ground-breaking one-hour flash panel discussing pathways to campus-wide climate literacy requirements ("climate GEs"), which are now on the books at several US universities. Hear from faculty who […]

This is a disaster. The ethics committee in Denmark that approved the Guinea-Bissau study which will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine “had never considered medical studies before but it changed the rules in order to vote on this one”. Four members of the committee have resigned in protest.

Was asked by a curious passerby if I could take her for a ride as I got to @ucdavis.bsky.social campus this morning. Happy to oblige. Happy Friday ;-)

Holy shit.

Participated in a rally yesterday to ask @ucdavis.bsky.social for safer roads for cyclists on campus after we lost Lincoln Sabini in a car/bike collision on campus in April this year and Tris Yasay in a collision with a trash truck 2022.

The assault on US universities didn't start in 2025. Our new paper traces the decades of corporate capture that made it possible, and why climate research is a primary target. Open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Denmark is trolling Trump.

Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?

keystonenewsroom.com/news/economy... Amazing that the Dems can afford to put these campaign signs on like every corner!

This one seems worth repeating. It’s nothing to cheer about though, as the proceeds of ridiculous gas prices fuelled by irrational wars and rampant car dependency go to oil companies instead of to the public as useful carbon taxes. #UrbanTruth

Very much this!!

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Governor Newsom to Support Sustainable Communities, Sign SB 1087. If you want less urban sprawl that locks people out of local affordable homes and into expensive car-centric transportation, please write too: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

Imagine if the media took the words of climate scientists as seriously as it does that rando from Anthropic… Air pollution and climate change from fossil fuel use are literally killing millions of people every year, but sure, let’s focus on the idiocy that “AI is going to kill everyone in 10”.

Incredible

I know that image ;-) Grateful for the work led by the excellent @ryanhart13.bsky.social to make the cover. Appreciate having access to strong international journal from an organization that still values editorial independence (looking at you @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social ).

“Bel was a varsity soccer player for Springfield City School District…He was on the National Honor Society and a member of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps”. He was a legal immigrant, and MAGA couldn’t tolerate his excellence, so now he’s dead.

Gavin Newsom has a national reputation as a Climate Champion. But his record on funding alternatives to driving tells a different story, culminating in leaving major cuts on the table for his successor. cal.streetsblog.org/2026/08/31/s...

BIG SCIENCE NEWS: Our bill authorizing a $7.5B science bond passed the Assembly. It heads back to the Senate for a final vote today. As Trump tears apart federal science investment, CA must triple down as global science leader. SB 895 — sending the bond to the March 2028 ballot — is a huge step.

Ugh, looks like wildfire smoke is finally catching up with us, as it has with so much of the US this summer.

40 kids, separated from their parents, and held in detention by our government, despite committing no crimes. Those were the cases I sat in on today in immigration court. (1/2)

Morning commute on a bike lane that Doug Ford wants to rip out. 21 bikes and 4 cars clearing an intersection in 23 seconds. Which mode fights congestion?

Fighting back works. After tens of thousands of public comments & emails, the Senate paused the OMB Proposal until December. Now, we need to stop the proposal entirely.
