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.

Zonal mean temperature anomalies since 1900 (by latitude) - regional trends, greater year-to-year variability in the Northern Hemisphere, and pronounced #Arctic warming...

Hey.
Minnesotans.
Tell your MN State House Rep to support HF 146.
https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.php?b=House&f=HF146&ssn=0&y=2023
It's the trans refuge bill, proposed by my rep, Leigh Finke. The gist is that the laws of other states hunting down trans people who have fled their unjust and inhumane laws cannot apply in Minnesota because they are against our laws.
No Fugitive Trans Acts allowed in Minnesota.
Admits to falsehoods then lies about lying.
How to File Taxes for Free Without TurboTax
I’ve been happy with FreeTaxUSA (last year it charged $15 for state tax filing; federal is free).

"we examined 146,327 streets in 30 major European cities in 17 different EU member states or candidate countries. On average, 90.4 percent of streets named after individuals are called after men. In the city with the smallest gender gap – Stockholm – streets named after men still account for more than 80 per cent."

It's #tax season, so #TurboTax is once again advertising just about everywhere.
Remember:
• TurboTax spent decades fighting to stop Americans from filing taxes for free:

• There are ways to file for free without TurboTax:

If it’s like Upper Michigan you also get the invoice scribbled on a 3x5 note card or an even tinier scrap of paper.

I recently discovered the windy.com app. It displays forecasts from multiple prediction centers including European and NOAA.
The interface is a bit geeky, but so much data!

3/3 Michelangelo's grocery list. Because even great artists have to eat! Especially on their birthday, and his is today.
@IceCubesApp Thanks for all your work on this!
Have I missed how to search beyond my instance?
Not an expert; I can’t see how to see further.

🚨 Unsurprisingly, average #Antarctic sea ice extent was the lowest on record for February 2023. This was 1,160,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average.
Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index
Listen carefully to hear the #ice sing.

A new study about seabirds and offshore wind turbines may surprise you.
A two-year, €3 million study of seabirds at an offshore wind farm off Scotland combined radar data with cameras to identify the species of seabird and create a three-dimensional image of birds’ flight patterns and how they avoid offshore wind turbines’ rotor blades.
The study’s findings: Not a single collision between a bird and a rotor blade was recorded.
