This is no joke: 2024 was the warmest year in multi-dataset record of global temperature since 1850.

Each month Jan-June was warmer than the corresponding month in any previous year. Aug equalled the record warmth of Aug 2023 and July-Dec were each the 2nd warmest for the time of year, after 2023.

It's been a while since we wrote this blogpost on hope in the face of compounding disasters

I'd love to hear your thoughts about the importance of hope ⬇️

Kindling hope: wildfire social science and forming part of meaningful change - Undisciplined Environments By Alexandre Molina Sourdat, Isabeau Ottolini and Kathleen Uyttewaal While living through and learning about wildfires, we’re also learning more about how to take care...

"What keeps our hope alive even in the darkest times is our connections to this longer story of human and planetary history, and the knowledge that we must cherish and rise for what we love and hold dear. Darkness, then, is also a place of action"
