I like sand. It's coarse and rough and gives me data.

A useful article about how face-to-face encounters and personal connections can combat misinformation. As also espoused by @katharinehayhoe.com!
Countering #misinformation isn’t just about the facts—it’s about how those facts spread through social networks and communities. #Science being right isn’t enough; it must be accepted within social circles to make an impact.

The last Trump Administration scrubbed countless resources (guidance documents, studies, reports, data, the DOJ Title VI Legal Manual) from federal websites. Harvard Law Environmental & Energy Law Program is preserving these resources in its Federal EJ Tracker. eelp.law.harvard.edu/topic/ej-tra...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

For those of you attending #AGU24 this afternoon, I'll have my poster up as part of session PP23D on a lake paleoclimate record from the Rockies! Feel free to stop by if that sounds interesting!
