We recently published an update to our 2023 PNAS study looking at exposure to uncompensable heat stress in warmer worlds. By using age-stratified limits rather than a single one, exposure goes way up mainly in the elderly cohort. @thelancetplanet.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Going to see if they have a position that is just me dancing in the background of the Whale Jamz commercial.

I am absolutely over the moon: My book The Human Thirst: Water, Biology, and Your Health just went live on Oxford University Press and is available for pre-order now. I am incredibly excited to share it with you all! Link to the book: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Sports have enough cultural reach where the decisions they make, if good, can be flashpoints for larger societal change. This would be bad for the climate, but also bad for the fight against climate change.

This is now the official Bluesky account of a noted Notable Man, I guess.

Diabolical for local radio to be playing It’s Five O’clock Somewhere when people are driving to work at 8:15am on a beautiful Friday morning.

In Texas, the State is removing climate change courses from the core curriculum. They have decided that climate change is just too dangerous to teach the students. This is indoctrination. I wrote an oped about it in the SA Express-News. Gift link: www.expressnews.com/opinion/comm...

Calling for the NFL to allow Jeremiah Smith to sign with the Bills and play the rest of this season in Buffalo. He doesn’t need to be playing in college any longer.

Bills Win.

1-0. Never a doubt. Go Bills.

Ready to have my heart broken again

Dyan Ray, in my opinion.

Some day I want to write a paper about how we turned higher ed into one big subsidy for business — all the while students are shamed for not paying more of this subsidy, and for not paying it faster. Instead of training their own workers, students and taxpayers must pay - and assume the risk

Spoke with @wowt6news.bsky.social here in Omaha how climate change-fueled permafrost thaw and glacial melt contributed to the Nepalese floods. www.wowt.com/2026/09/10/n...

Forgot to make my coffee order decaf this morning after taking my ADHD meds. Feels like my skeleton wants to run right out of my skin casing.

I had the exciting opportunity to write a guest post for @carbonbrief.org about our new paper on the expansion of extreme heat seasons around the world. Take a read for a digestible summary of our approach and key results!

That was the greatest punt I've ever seen.

The Apple Cup being played in Week 1 rather than the final week of the season in a snow storm in Pullman is a tragedy.

And, yep, same result.

Can always count on time being put back on the clock in the Big House...

Pretty obvious that Penn State is going 16-0 with a natty after today's performance.

First WHALE JAMZ of the college football season always hits.

Investment in faculty and staff morale events for the semester have been announced. Today is "go to the art museum and look around during your lunch hour". December's is "come and make Christmas cookies" - We don't even get free pizza, we have to make our own food!

OK, I did eight months. It's college football season and the start of another school year so time to re-emerge.

2025: Pretty good (personally, at least) until the whole breaking my ankle thing. As I watch the London NYE festivities since I won't be awake at midnight here, I'm going to say farewell to social media until 2027 to try and become a better, deeper version of myself. Be good and do good, everyone.

Global CO2 from fossil fuels is projected to hit a record 38.1B metric tons in 2025, up 1.1%. Increases in the U.S., India and China, plus a 6.8% jump in aviation, outpace clean energy gains. Researchers warn that staying below 1.5°C is no longer plausible.

New AMS Statement: Dismantling NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research would weaken U.S. leadership in weather, water, and climate science, putting public safety at risk. For more than 60 years, NSF NCAR has improved forecasts and early warnings that save lives. More: https://bit.ly/4q6eChn

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.
