Why do fire scars form more on the leeward or uphill sides of trees? For #firescarfriday here's a little time lapse video showing the increased residence time of flame, and thus increased heating and potential cambial injury, in the eddy of air in the lee of this long leaf pine. Florida, USA, 2025.

Flaming fire scars at the base of a longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) in the Red Hills of Florida USA. 04/02/25. Interesting how intensely these can burn once they get going. #firescarfriday

"Trump’s economic plans are incoherent and incomprehensible at least partially by design. The goal, by this longtime scam artist, is to bamboozle the American people and take their money."

Faster burning fires not only burn disproportionately large areas, but they also burn more severely. Extreme fire spread events (just the top 3%) accounted for a third of the total area burned, but half of the total area burned at high severity--setting the stage for long-term forest loss. 🧪🌎🔥

To sum it up, the president ordered water released for fires in LA with water that doesn’t reach LA, at volumes that could cause communities to flood, and in the wrong season for irrigating crops, which will then mean less water for irrigating crops in the summer when it’s actually needed.

Turns out the 2010 America COMPETES Act contains language I recognize because I've cribbed it from NSF's Grant Proposal Guide for every proposal I've sent to NSF www.congress.gov/111/plaws/pu... It's encoded in 42 USC 1826p-14 uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r... R: the 2010 Act, L: the GPG

Who has good examples of their university leaders providing strong messaging and support for students, staff, and faculty at this time? I'd love this thread to become a space where we can provide models of how to not be a coward.

from me: the lies spreading across social media about the horrifying L.A. fires (which are quite similar to the conspiracies that emerged in the wake of Hurricane Helene) reveal one grim truth about our future—this is just how every coming climate disaster will play out in our info environment

🧵Thread with examples of why it’s dumb to say “CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere, so it can’t possibly have an effect!” It’s time to just ignore the “400ppm is too small to have an impact” meme…

Important finding for impact modelers by @kornhuber.bsky.social et al.: Climatic extremes change faster/ more severely than anticipated by climate models. The consequences anticipated with impact models (based on climate model-driven forcings) might thus be conservative. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
