Here's my chart of annual acreage burned by California wildfires, with 2020 year-to-date added & a linear trend line. I had to boost the y-axis, as 2020 is the first year in which California has surpassed 2 million acres burned. And again, it's only the first week of September
This week, President @BarackObama called on every Mayor in the US to review their City's use-of-force policy and to pursue commonsense police reforms. I am happy to take the pledge. #8CantWait#Notonemore@ObamaFoundation

How big is the CO₂ bucket for 1.5°C?

@AaronEnders12 Aaron, I’m sorry I thanked you for using DEF earlier today. I didn’t think my appreciation of your environmentally friendly actions would upset you. However, this tweet was not about that. It was a general statement about living in WI that was prompted by my envir class today.
It’s easy to be a climate change skeptic here in Wisconsin, where we are sheltered from a large majority of the adverse environmental/societal/economic effects. Other areas of the world aren’t so fortunate and it’s SO important to recognize that.
