Good news for Earth Day! Nine U.S. states have set goals to conserve 30% of their land by 2030-and MD got there first. This story is part of a NYT series, "50 States, 50 Fixes." Tune into NPR at 10AM eastern this morning to hear from authors @carabuckley.bsky.social, @catrineinhorn.bsky.social & I.

Soot from wildfires across Western North America have had a similar impact, accelerating Greenland melting as well. We live on a round planet, and everything is connected!

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated. Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will. Where to start? With a conversation today. 🧵

The authors see some "genuinely promising technological advances" on the supply side. "On the demand side, the psychological barriers to behavior change will not be resolved without confronting the drivers that ‘create’ air travel consumption and artificially accelerate demand."

"The 'radical flank effect' shows that when radical activists push boundaries, they often make moderate voices in the same movement appear more reasonable. Recent research found that even when JSO provoked public anger, support for moderate organisations such as Friends of the Earth increased."

Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal. Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

A so far quiet situation in Memphis, Tennessee that has it all, environmental injustice, systemic racism, climate crisis exacerbation, oligarchy, a terrifying breech of personal data along with unheard of power in an AI system in the hands of (guess who?) Elon Musk. This isn’t going to fade away.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵
