I wrote a post for Briefing Book on the recent turmoil in property insurance markets, connections to climate change, and what we should do about it

[Ishan Nath @IshanBNath]

Lots of discussion about natural disaster price-gouging laws right now, so feels like it might be a useful time to share slides from a work-in-progress project on this topic I’m working on with
@JohannaRayl @nad_lucas @mikedinerstein and Becky Scurlock https://t.co/Nu7cOZcAbw

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

@MLiebreich @RogerPielkeJr You should update your priors on the science of hurricanes and climate. Things have advanced a lot in the field over the years. Listen to our latest Shift Key episode with climate scientist and hurricane expert Gabriel Vecchi from Princeton. https://t.co/QzLT0Y496f

@TaplinTerry Please also consider safety improvements at the Sacramento and Channing intersection. I live by the corner and see or hear near misses almost every day. At night the crossing is a a poorly lit death trap.

I distinctly remember @Capi_Planeta telling me his dream was to join UNAM as faculty in one of our first advising meetings.

It's a proud moment to see him realize this ambition, and exciting to think of all the important and interesting research to come

[Bernie Bastien-Olvera @Capi_Planeta]

This is the smile of a person who, 10 years ago, dreamed of coming back to UNAM as a professor, and now it's a reality!

I'm joining @ICAyCC_UNAM as faculty this fall!

Are we adapting to climate change? In new preprint, we use decades of data on 21 outcomes around the world & measure whether they have become less sensitive to a given change in climate. We find clear evidence of such adaptation in only ~25% of cases. 1/x https://t.co/XUgjMj2Pdc

What’s wrong with research about ‘degrowth’? https://t.co/d1kGrxZ5jV

🚨 New #Rpackage alert! The increasing availability of high-resolution climate data has greatly expanded the study of how the climate impacts humans and society. Enter stagg, a new R package that streamlines data processing for climate impact analysis. https://t.co/S53ioqenlu

Interesting paper on intergenerational insurance by the amazing @ales_rus, @FrancescoLanci7 and @timsworrall:

Typhoon #Yagi has left substantial impacts to life / property in Asia. The economic toll in China, Vietnam, and the Philippines will notably exceed >$10 billion. First reports from China (Hainan) show minimum losses at $9.3 billion. Key industrial facilities in Vietnam hit hard.

🚨 Big permitting reform news:

The most rigorous climate modeling shows a net emissions reduction from the bipartisan Senate bill.

Climate advocates should support this bill.

[Forrest Fleischman @ForrestFleisch1]

Carbon offsets don't work in the forest sector, but the forest sector can contribute to mitigation and needs funding. This paper proposes tracking "contributions to forests" without tying them to offsets. I think its a good idea. https://t.co/zDUaajZXR4

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard.

Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.

“It is not only the mega charismatic species that are warm and fuzzy and evoke a desire to hug and cuddle with them that provide value and benefit to us as people,” @Eyal_Frank said. https://t.co/fGUsxrpTY9

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

The Manchin-Barrasso permitting reform plan would allow Americans to start building energy infrastructure again, while cleaning up the environment.

Passing it is a no-brainer for anyone in Congress.

[Eyal Frank @Eyal_Frank]

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (https://t.co/gNIbWRdqEj), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.
