“We’re crossing the line in the sand from what glaciers have done, for basically all of human recorded history.”
Future generations may never see California’s glaciers - a heartbreaking reminder of what we’re losing to climate change!
A list of the most effective ways an individual can catalyze change at the scale we need to effectively tackle climate change, based on social science.
I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

A German court’s dismissal of a climate impact case against RWE, the country’s largest electricity producer, is disappointing for a community facing the growing threat of floods from melting glaciers. But activists say the fight is not over.

THE POETICS OF WATER | Rivers as archives of memory & belonging
From ritual offerings along the Guadalquivir to borderlands mapped in verse, artists and poets are turning to rivers as witnesses, collaborators, and guides.
Deb Chachra. Occasional reminder that there's no, "it's too late, it's over" for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn't go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
There’s no “too late” for climate action.
Because every fraction of a degree matters.
Every molecule of CO₂ we keep out of the atmosphere matters.
Every act of resilience we build together matters.

The True Cost of Food: Unmasking Subsidies
On #StopFoodWasteDay, we asked: cheap for whom, and at what cost?
In the U.S., most subsidies go to meat & dairy—whilst fruits and veggies get sidelined. This isn't just wasteful; it's policy. What if we funded nourishment, not overproduction?
