Last night I won gold and silver #EXCELs2022 awards for my @AGU_Eos magazine features.

It's a bit wild that my stories won 2 of the 3 awards in this category?! Head still spinning about that.

Can't thank my editors Caryl-Sue Micalizio and @heathermg enough!

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!

These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

We’ve pumped out so much 💧 #groundwater, moving its mass around the planet, that we’ve nudged the #NorthPole by several meters in the last few decades alone!

Read on to find out how… 🧵 (1/9)

If you’re on the Eastern U.S. coast and you think you smell smoke, you’re not imagining it. Smoke from Canadian wildfires is traveling down the eastern seaboard and affecting air quality in several states.

This is a big deal. Widespread dangerous fire weather conditions — complete with possible dry thunderstorms — will affect parts of the Mid-Atlantic today.

I can’t remember the last time I’be seen an outlook like this.

Even a cigarette butt could spark a wildfire around PHL.

yiiiiikes

"Methane leaks alone from Turkmenistan’s two main fossil fuel fields caused more global heating in 2022 than the entire carbon emissions of the UK, satellite data has revealed."

In the 3rd installment of #theCurve, scientists return to a lake that’s tricked them in the past.

On this #WorldMalariaDay, a reminder that the behavior of infectious diseases is often interwoven with environmental and climatic conditions. A 2022 study in @NatureClimate, for ex., found that warming temperatures had aggravated 160 diseases. #geohealth

Explanatory science writing at its best. The way they connect Arctic sea ice with wildfires in the west is perfect. I was in Oregon during the 2020 fires, and I had no idea that the weather during that time could be influenced by Arctic sea ice loss.

Aside from the actual launch, this guy is definitely the star of @ESA's JUICE telecast.

The U.S. Forest Service is being sued over its use of fire retardant drops, which critics say pollute waterways and don't do much to fight wildfire, anyway. The agency strongly disagrees. Details from @phila_lex: https://t.co/8WczYTu5fu

There are Editors in Chief at @Hearst brands who are eligible for bonuses that are NEARLY DOUBLE what some of our lowest paid employees make.

How is that fair?

We need equity. Now.

the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

Mikaela Shiffrin is on the precipice of breaking another World Cup record after tying the all-time mark of 86 career victories.

Shiffrin matched Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark less than two months after passing Lindsey Vonn for women’s career wins. https://t.co/jPZczS3cPK

@JenMonnier One thing that came to mind was checking hyperlinks in the piece to make sure they aren't broken and generally make sense. Love this list!

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

You might not have focused much on whether you need gas, oil or electricity to warm your house.

But in America’s highly fractured energy landscape, the surprising ways our home heating is split could speed — or slow — our shift away from fossil fuels. https://t.co/gp8SodfQT1
