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.

Apparently a sound file doesn’t work. Try the video version. Sound on!

Highly recommended to #activists of all stripes: Jon Alexander explains the New Citizen Project. “Treat people like citizens, not consumers.”

❝ With many of the villas started but not one finished, the town remains unlivable. From afar, the gray-roofed neighborhood looks like something out of a Disney movie but, upon closer inspection, Burj Al Babas boasts an eerie postapocalyptic feel with rows of partially completed castles, patchy landscaping, and zero signs of life. The empty village is chilling, to say the least—like a sparkling city ravaged by war. ❞ → https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/burj-al-babas

#PhotoMonday #PhotoMontag A snowy morning here in Utah. I was hoping we would have weather more “Spring” like. I think the sun is coming out in a while though….#today #UtahRoadtrip Shopping in Salt Lake today. I’ve already made Italian Beef, Cowboy Stew, and have salmon marinating. So grateful for folks to cook for again.
Morning #LakeSuperior is also lovely.
A thin layer of ice grew overnight, gone by 11 am.

85 years ago.
In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years.
He also suggested that man-made CO₂ emissions had caused around half of the observed warming.
85 years ago.
