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.

The #Michigan Department of #Environment, Great Lakes, and #Energy is encouraging local governments to sign up for free technical assistance to bring #solarpower to their communities. SolSmart is a no-cost program to help local governments by training staff, offering guidance on #solar permits, and technical advice. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Many of us have recently started to despair about our ability to limit warming to 1.5C without overshoot.
I'm happy to announce, today, we have made great strides to making the impossible possible. And the answer was below our feet this whole time (if were were on a boat).

We’re often told not to mix business with politics, but consider this:
IL Dem Gov Pritzker just signed into law guaranteed paid leave to all IL workers.😄
MN Dem Gov Walz just signed into law free universal school breakfast & lunch for all children.😄
MI Dem Gov Whitmer just signed into law a repeal of anti-labor right to work for all workers.😄
AR GOP Gov Huckabee just signed into law making child labor easier for corporations to exploit.😳
🎶 One of these things, is not like the others. 🎶
Andy Borowitz, on target as always.

Again, @molly0xfff nails it:
"Faced with the choice between the more communal, cooperative choice and the self-serving, every-man-for-himself choice destined to end in a bank run, it should be no surprise which option [the venture capitalists] picked. As the Titanic sank, they were the ones pushing people out of the lifeboats."

Ingenious, Indigenous cartography: The Tunumiit (Eastern Greenlandic Inuit) practice of carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters. These pieces, which are small enough to be carried in a mitten, represent coastlines in a continuous line, up one side of the wood and down the other. The maps are compact, buoyant, and can be read in the dark.
