My good agronomist pal Jacob Macdonald let me help him with this paper. The random forest methodology is pretty cool, kind of cutting edge NBD. doi.org/10.3390/agro...

our latest article about raking the forest Share: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lE1e1L%7E... DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

Kind of surprised this didn't make it into nature, based on the headline... #toread

Great thread explaining why forest offsets are not the answer. And here's a link to the paper - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This much needed commentary explains why forest carbon offsets programs are 🐂💩. "... carbon storage as a nature-based solution will merely serve as a feel-good action and a distraction from meaningful efforts to reduce fossil based carbon loading of the atmosphere" 🔥🧪🌏

In a new op-ed for Crains, I talk about the importance of ending parking mandates — particularly to support preservation and continued growth of the city’s beloved and valuable small-scale multifamily housing www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/endi...

Dr. Katalin Karikó spent decades experimenting with mRNA. She was scoffed at, demoted, and eventually forced to retire. Then, she won a Nobel Prize. Her story is the first in our 10-episode series, “The Leap,” produced with the Hypothesis Fund.

Solving climate change isn't as simple as ending animal agriculture. ~18% of greenhouse gas emissions are from agriculture and land use; this increases to ~26% when considering the whole food system (processing, packaging, transport, & retail). Animal ag is only about half of that 26% (i.e., ~13%).

When looking at these two photos of Seattle's waterfront, it's clear that most people prefer the bottom one. So why don't we remove more highways to create spaces for people? (1) State DOTs prioritize thoroughfares over places and (2) City leaders lack imagination and political courage. What else?

If natural changes in the sun were the main driver of recent global warming, we would expect the stratosphere to warm along with the troposphere. But the stratosphere is cooling. This is a telltale sign of an intensifying greenhouse effect. From new paper by @edhawkins.org et al.👇

Good morning people. Today in “One day, one paper”, one of the most popular strategies used to remove carbon dioxide from the air is planting trees. However, not all tree-planting strategies are equally beneficial 🌎🍁 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
