- I met hundreds (thousands?) of interesting folks working in my field and/or expert in other stuff
- I’ve learned a lot from you all
- I once had a tweet end up in the UK National Food Strategy (2021)
- It was good to be so connected when we were all physically isolated in 2020
- You make me laugh

I went to a conference on “climate-smart agriculture” in 2014 where seven (7) types of meat and fish (mostly meat) were served at the fancy welcome dinner.

New #EatLancet report is out! What does it state? I've watched the livestream so you don't have to. Here's a summary of the findings

Just having a moment reflecting on what a ridiculous state we're in, where the president is making "deals" with private universities by personally meddling in federally allocated education and research funding and this is being treated as just ordinary politics.

Exactly. Your tofu is not driving deforestation in the Amazon. If anything, eating more soy products directly (and eating fewer animals that eat soy as feed) would *reduce* overall demand for soybeans and pressure on tropical forests.

Supreme Court Allows Trump to Slash Foreign Aid

Headline: The fascist conservative justices on the Supreme Court voted to allow Trump to withhold $4 billion in foreign aid that congress had appropriated.

I'm pretty and I'm petty as f… applies nicely

I am not anti-fishing.

I am not anti- shark fishing.

But hammerheads in particular are species of significant conservation concern, and one of the worst candidates for “catch and release” of any known fish species.

And it’d be nice if media coverage *of hammerhead fishing* mentioned that

Mr. Wright falsely claimed that critics of an Energy Department report — written by five researchers who reject the established scientific consensus that the burning of oil, gas and coal is dangerously heating the planet — did not dispute any of the report’s data or facts. “They just didn’t like that the conclusion of our report was, climate change is a real physical phenomenon that’s unfolding, it’s just not the crisis it’s often sold to be.” In fact, 85 scientists submitted a sweeping critique of the report detailing a litany of inaccuracies, including claims that sea level rise is not accelerating; that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will help plants grow; and that computer models exaggerate future temperature increases. The American Meteorological Society, a leading science organization, also outlined what it called “foundational flaws” in the report. And the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the nation’s leading scientific advisory body, also contradicted the Energy Department report, saying the evidence that greenhouse gases threaten human health has only grown over time.

this is sooooooo f'ing sweet. every time Sec. Chris Wright lies about the DOE Climate Working Group report, reporters cite our response.

I’m finishing up revisions to an #aquaculture paper with a bunch of amazing scientists, but can’t shake the feeling of doing a very normal thing in such an abnormal time in the States. Vibes are off, to say the least. Anyone else??

So glad to see this made accessible again!

If we’re going to have Chinese style autocracy in the US, I’d also like the renewable energy infrastructure, high speed rail, electric vehicles, investment in science, and good food.

Well, this is reassuring: "We find no significant difference between the climate strategies of companies that purchased carbon offsets and those that did not" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thank you!

Scientists link hundreds of severe heat waves to fossil fuel producers' pollution A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

ICE Raids Target Workers on Farms and in Food Production: A Running List Immigration enforcement actions at workplaces are likely to increase as the agencies attempt to meet new White House goals of 3,000 arrests per day. We are keeping a record of those actions here.

As enforcement continues to ramp up, we’ve be updating this list with federal immigration actions that impact farms, other sectors of the food system, and workers themselves. buff.ly/ycPi135
