‘People saw dollar signs’: a year after devastating wildfires, an LA community is fighting displacement As survivors face pressure to sell their land in Altadena, a historic Black community, experts say we’re witnessing ‘climate gentrification’

Disaster capitalism meets climate gentrification

The capitalists who got us into this mess are determined to profit from the very extreme weather they are responsible for

Reminder - the record heatwaves, record fires, record floods are all happening in the 'safe' degrees of climate change. We are on track to double where we are now.

We Could Have Been Warthogs The peerless animal wisdom of Robert Sapolsky

What does it mean to see ourselves as animals? Does it change how we treat other life on Earth? How are we alike or different from our fellow animals?

We asked renowned Stanford University professor Robert Sapolsky. 🧪

Buy all of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's books. Perhaps the only thing worse than reading their horrifying and infuriating revelations would be not to read them and deprive oneself of the needful knowledge and stylistic delights of her superlative writing. Highest recommendation!

An aerial landscape shot of a mostly brown surface, in the middle of which is a round frozen lake. On the right is the edge of a massive glacier. At the top of the ridge, a small glacier is frozen to the brown rock. In the distance is more ice and brown peaks.

To mark World Day for #Glaciers, here are some pictures of glaciers I’ve written about. This is Pearse Valley in Antarctica, about a 40-min helo ride from Scott Base. Right of Lake Joyce is a lobe of the Taylor Glacier, and behind them, clawing over the brown ridge is the Catspaw Glacier. 1/n

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between January and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update.

#Arctic sea ice extent still remains the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA). Not good

Another reminder that Climate Change is a threat everywhere

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

What we SHOULD be concerned about is the steady ongoing warming, which will continue until carbon emissions reach zero. The truth is bad enough!

Just because the other side cherry-picks short-term fluctuations to deny the climate crisis doesn't mean we should do the same thing to exaggerate it.

The truth is bad enough. It's reason enough for dramatic action.

For people in the northeast who are turning up their thermostats & hoping that global warming has just reversed itself, here’s a reminder that climate change doesn’t just happen where YOU live.

Warmest January on record!
