I live on the shores of #LakeSuperior on the #Keweenaw Peninsula in the #UpperPeninsula of #Michigan. This region is within Ojibwe Gichigami (“Ojibwa’s Great Sea”) homelands and ceded-territory, established by the TREATY OF 1842
I'm a professor of #environmental #chemistry with an interest in everything related to #climate, including molecular to global aspects of the carbon cycle, energy and social transitions, new and old technologies for sustainability, forests and biodiversity, local to international climate policy, and the systems thinking approaches we need to make progress.
Too much of a news and politics junkie than is healthy.
I share my homestead with a partner, a dog, several felines, two donkeys, plants, and occasional uninvited critters.

Nice project.
I’ve wondered why we don’t hear about how solar panels on your roof also cool your house. The photons are (mostly) converted to electrical energy instead of heat.

"For every dollar invested in fossil fuels, 1.7 dollars are invested in clean technologies. Five years ago, it was a one-to-one ratio, said the International Energy Agency."

Drop whatever you are doing and take a few minutes to read this piece from @natematias — it's the most important thing I've read this year about the path forward in understanding how information technologies are shaping society, and what we can do to make this a force for good.

Walking into a major regional medical facility: Covid screening is gone, replaced by a metal detector and questions about whether I’m carrying firearms.

I wish doctors could call those senators into the emergency room in the midst of these emergencies and have them pronounce the correct response.
(Wish is contingent, of course, on doctors given authority to override idiocy.)

Another curiosity about shipping: immigration to North America was heavily promoted by shipping companies that hauled wood, pelts, etc from Turtle Island to Europe and saw a profit in carrying people back across rather than returning empty.
@helenczerski
That’s an astonishing statistic that deserves to be more widely known.

In the late 1880s, when steam ships were replacing sailing cargo ships, one of the last roles for the sailing ships was to carry coal around the world to supply ports where steamships wanted to go. A clean technology was essential to enable the growth of a dirty technology. And even today, fossil fuels aren’t magically just everywhere. A gigantic *** 40% *** of global shipping is just moving fossil fuels. So eliminating fossil fuel also drastically cuts global shipping emissions. #climate #ships
Rewinding needs the bottom layers, too.

100 years of March temperature anomalies over land areas through 2023...
The end of this animation is really quite striking - the only cold anomalies were in the western United States to Canada.

Very odd portrait of a man with possibly exploding donkey in the landscape behind him. Meanwhile he points to small maze on the ledge. By Dosso Dossi, who understood what this meant even if we don't.
