Congratulation to the new @citybloomington administration and city council members!

[Al Gore @algore]

The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement.

Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip.

Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them.

We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.

@FIstrabadi Greetings Dr. Istrabadi, could you elaborate on this point more? Thank you - a past student.

@codykirkpatrick How much can this high altitude smoke affect us at ground level, where there is a visible haze?

[Sam A @SamA_geospatial]

@codykirkpatrick at a glance it appears so

It was an honor representing the Bloomington Environmental Commission this past Friday at the @Prepared4Change Indiana Sustainability & Resilience Conference at @IUPUI!

Featuring keynote speaker @EPA’s @janetgmccabe and many other Indiana-borne environmental heroes

[Sam A @SamA_geospatial]

@codykirkpatrick Is this leading to or from the stream?

[Sam A @SamA_geospatial]

@idsnews No explanation at all as to why in your article?

I'm building an interactive map for the Reconstructing Bloomington Project.
This is a soft roll out, and I would love to receive any constructive feedback that you may have to offer.

Indiana voters once again vote nearly solid red. Nonetheless, a well deserved congratulations to @Hoosiers4Fyfe for running an honorable and important campaign. To all, what will it take for Hoosiers to vote blue again?

@SamA_Btown @DeptofDefense We're glad you found the conversation full of good information, Sam! GIS is certainly fundamental. Thanks for giving the program a shoutout.

[Sam A @SamA_geospatial]

I was updated today by the director of @conservlawcentr about the @DeptofDefense’s Southern Indiana Sentinel Landscape Program. This is the largest landscape-scale conservation program in modern IN history. #GIS is fundamental to achieving the goals of the program. #geospatial

A scary thought this #Halloween: Congress not tackling the country's biodiversity crisis this year. Call on your lawmakers to pass the Recovering America's Wildlife Act. #RecoverWildlife https://t.co/lfXltMO3SC

@citybloomington allows a max of 5 🐓 per property. Many small farms here could safely accommodate 5-15 more 🐓. Increasing the # would be a small change, but it could increase food security and neighborhood self-reliance within Btown.

Let’s see what happens soon 😎

A SBC FF uses a terra torch, which throws a stream of flaming liquid and facilitates rapid ignition during the 1,600 acre prescribed fire operation in Santa Ynez Valley. The controlled event will achieve strategic fuel reduction in an effort to reduce the risk of future wildfire.

Let’s start with recognizing the victim blaming here. But also, this is a step towards a car-centered world when we need to be *racing* to implement alt transportation and protected bike lanes to cut emissions. This is a step backwards, but also an insult to Nathaniel’s memory.
