Thanks to @FLClimateInst for funding this senior capstone, and to the wonderful @cynthiabarnett and @KylieWilliams99 for seeing it through once I left the state.

@WUFTNews and #EJUF plan to report more without me once it receives emergency documents for each dam.

[Dr. Scott Angle @IFAS_VP]

.@hydroKati distinguished herself as the natural choice to accelerate the rise of @UFCALS to national prominence in the teaching of #AI and its use as an instructional tool.

@UF_IFAS will always be thankful to @UFCALSDean, having set the pace for a historic decade.

[UF/IFAS Agricultural and Biological Engineering @UF_ABE]

A huge and heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to our hardworking and passionate chair of ABE who has been selected as the new dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences! Kati Migliaccio will assume her new role starting January 1st 2025

Mother Nature is just getting started.

Until we stop pouring our fossil fuel poison into her systems.

Winner of Badass Bookstore Logo of the Year: @legroff ‘s The Lynx Books in Gainesville FL

(I visited last weekend for a book event and discussion w/ @ResilientJane and the bookstore itself - which champions banned books — is just as sexy and smart as the logo)

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas

EVs instead of reducing car dependency

Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production

Planting trees instead of ending deforestation

Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?

[Cynthia Barnett @cynthiabarnett]

This is a particularly fine video portrait of @NCAR_Science climate scientist Warren Washington, who passed away this weekend. More: https://t.co/mIHCrkp5CD

[Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️‍🌈 @ssteingraber1]

CO2 capture is a failed technology.

“The very industry that should be paying for cleaning up emissions is instead pocketing billions in public money that should go to transitioning to renewables.”

Carbon capture is not the answer to the climate crisis https://t.co/mpbQagbe2b

Just weeks after the removal of dams restored a free-flowing Klamath River, salmon have made their way upstream to begin spawning and have been spotted in Oregon for the first time in more than a century. https://t.co/9VSWCyKDuk

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

So sad to hear of the passing of my good friend & hero, Warren Washington. Warren was apioneer both in the science of climate change and in communicating the implications to policymakers. It was my great honor to share the Tyler Prize with him in 2019 (https://t.co/Yhm7NEhDzi).

[Andrew Revkin 🌎 ✍🏼 🪕 ☮️ @Revkin]

Here's a wonderful video tribute to the work and life of climate scientist Warren Washington after he was given the National Medal of Science by @BarackObama: 2009 National Medal of Science Laureate for his development and use of global climate models. Produced for the National Science & Technology Medals Foundation. RIP

[Andrew Revkin 🌎 ✍🏼 🪕 ☮️ @Revkin]

Sad word is spreading from Boulder that the pioneering NCAR climate scientist and Medal of Science laureate Warren Washington has passed from this Earth he studied and cherished with such vigor for so long. More soon but listen to @DrShepherd2013 below for just a little of Dr Washington’s legacy. 1/

[Science Friday @scifri]

No place is immune to the damaging effects of climate change.

Dr. Jesse Keenan from @Tulane and Dr. @JolaAdapts from @EmoryUniversity join us to discuss how we can build more resilient communities and better prepare for the future.

Your periodic reminder that 15 years ago the entire global financial system nearly collapsed cos of a relatively small number of mortgage defaults in the US. This is what people mean when they talk about climate change being a systemic risk.
