Being a US-based scientist in 2025 feels like playing in the Titanic violin quartet. Might as well keep working on this data analysis...

πŸ“£πŸ”₯ New wildfire study: Blazes that cross into neighborhoods are much more deadly than remote wildfires, according to a new study led by NSF NCAR. In fact, fires that burn in the wildland-urban interface are 3x more likely to cause annual premature deaths.

Is the air we breathe safe? Is the air we breathe safe? This seemingly straightforward question is often unanswerable because regulations, monitoring approaches, and reporting structures cannot keep up with the rapid human-induc...

Editorial (w/ Kelley Barsanti) just came out in Science addressing the challenge in addressing: Is the air we breathe safe? It is challenging to address as a growing number of different pollutants are being released into the air these days.

What I find crazy about "about" is that I couldn't hear the difference when I just visited the US as a kid or in early adulthood. But I became keenly aware of it after I'd lived in the US for a year or so and went back home to visit. Then it was CRAZY obvious.

Opinion | As environment minister, I believed the oil sands sector would help us save the planet. I was wrong. β€” Climate and Nature Solutions In May 2016, I was leading intense negotiations between the federal government and the provinces and territories to secure Canada’s first national climate plan .

Reminds me of our #NASA_ATom midair meteorology lessons... but seems a little different for some reason.
