Really proud of how this latest episode of The Wild came out. Terrific production by Lucy Soucek, tender narration by Chris Morgan, gallons of humor from the Buffalo Boys. Please listen and share widely. Really grateful to be a scriptwriter for this show.

A reflection on the life and work of one of the founders of environmental ethics, Holmes Rolston, III. I shared my experience of Holmes with the host.

Pointing clearly towards the need for DACC.

But as I wrote recently in @NoemaMag, DACC needs to work on its trust problem.

Permanent, durable, believable…this was a good article on Industrial carbon capture is a climate strategy environmentalists love to hate.

Those committed to its development are trying to win back allies they sorely need. | @SyntheticAge in @NoemaMag https://t.co/3GDjMumYxR https://t.co/YLxcb9lMdO

This story absorbed an enormous amount of my energy and attention as it came together. Making carbon capture persuasive is, in the end, an ethics problem. I sketch the ethical issues here.

[Noema Magazine @NoemaMag]

“The atmospheric math is unequivocal. Carbon must be pulled from the sky to stop the Earth from warming dangerously.”

So why are so many environmentalists vehemently opposed to carbon capture?

@SyntheticAge investigates.

Good science. Hyped-up headline.

Scientists claim they have resurrected the dire wolf

There are several things that need to align if you're going to bring the dire wolf back: first, the genetics in the nucleus; second, the genetics outside the nucleus; and third, the environment...-@SyntheticAge

When you bring a new species into a different climate, a different environment, and a different world, there will naturally be concerns...: Dr. Ranajit Das, Researcher in Genetics and Evolution, tells @Madhavgk

Ever fancied your chances of deextincting a dodo? Think again. I explain why in an article out today with YaleE360. #aurochs #woollymammoth #extinction

I saw Rachel Carson's personal copy of Silent Spring recently in Shepherdstown, WV. Absolutely thrilled to wear something with her name.
