NEW. John Bolton: "What Trump has done when you add all this together...he is burning through decades of effort to build up goodwill, trust, faith, reliance on America. Our friends all over the world are saying, 'You’ve taken leave of your senses.'” youtu.be/40SbOw-HElQ?...

We must make sure this work doesn’t die on the vine or fall victim to Omega Protein’s influence like the Menhaden Study Plan has in Virginia

Public lands, private profits: Inside the Trump plan to offload federal land. Critics warn that the Trump administration’s plan to transfer public lands could enrich wealthy developers while eliminating access for everyone else. grist.org/accountabili... #PublicLand #Trump #Developers #Climate

Yep…

The aurora just now from the front door of our cabin 30 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska!

My article is out! On how ‘ecosystem services’ went from a word for those aspects of nature that economics cannot express to a word for nature's economic value, and how concerns for planetary habitability disappeared from the environmentalist vocabulary. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

This is not just bad news for fishermen, but bad news for a Chesapeake Bay ecosystem that continues to scream warnings about menhaden www.cbf.org/news-media/n...

@walshfreedom.bsky.social I'm a dog loving Bird hunting centrist father from the Midwest living in the mid atlantic now. I need you @walshfreedom.bsky.social to keep me sane from both sides!

As a born and bred Wiscy boy, Happy birthday " from the mid atlantic. As a dog loving, bird hunting centrist, I need you. @walshfreedom.bsky.social please keep going 🙏!

Great @maryandmatter.org commentary by Allison Colden @chesapeakebayfdn.bsky.social . Cutting the budget for Chesapeake restoration is false economy. Maryland is addressing Bay restoration and the climate crisis together. marylandmatters.org/2025/01/14/l...

Being a lifelong Packers fan, justice ⚖️!

New York's climate superfund law — which makes polluters, instead of taxpayers, pay for climate damages — will raise $75 billion over 25 years. New York is the 2nd state to enact a law to make polluters pay, joining Vermont. There's nothing radical about making Big Oil pay for what they unleashed.

This shouldn’t be controversial: big polluters should pay to clean up their mess, and those who pollute the most should pay the most. Today I reintroduced my Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act to tackle the climate crisis and hold big polluters accountable. It's time to make it law.

Death, taxes, and corporations admitting their climate pledges were always meaningless

I like facts. I don't like bullies. A good day to donate to Wikipedia. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ta...

We can’t look at climate change, biodiversity loss, and human wellbeing in separate silos anymore. Next — we need to look for effective, evidence-based solutions at the intersection of climate, nature, and people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

These are heartwenching to read. thehill.com/homenews/503...

Fantastic news. Let's keep this going. Reduction of N and P critical for everyone in the Bay watershed.

"we can now confirm with virtual certainty that 2024 will be the warmest year on record and the first calendar year above 1.5°C. This does not mean that the Paris Agreement has been breached, but it does mean ambitious climate action is more urgent than ever!" www.iflscience.com/2024-effecti...
