There are a lot of takeaways from the IPCC. A big one we shouldn’t lose sight of: We have all the tools we need to decarbonize the economy rapidly right now, it’s politics and fossil fuel interests fucking us over protocol.com/climate/ipcc-re…

Sustainable energy researchers @Northeastern & @NREL are partnering to recruit households in Colorado for 2-year study of how people interact with their thermostats. Apply to participate by March 15: wholeenergyhomes.northeaster… #sustainablebuildings #energyefficiency
Thank you to the awesome students in my section of Northeastern's Energy Democracy and Climate Resilience class for sharing smart analysis and hopeful stories like this that keep me from national news-induced rage-and-despair spiraling wbur.org/news/2021/11/24/mas…
Chelsea and Chinatown are building microgrids to solve big energy, climate challenges

Chelsea and Chinatown are building microgrids to solve big energy, climate challenges

The planned systems in Chelsea and Chinatown can detach from the main power grid, giving the communities their own islands of energy while relieving pressure on the wider regional system.

This evening I was out with a friend who leapt into action to provide care for a stranger who collapsed. He was unresponsive, chest compressions brought him back, we stayed until EMTs arrived. Life is fragile, and I am full of love for my friend.

Great analysis from @holcaggiano: addressing the administrative burden of energy efficiency incentives is hugely important for equitable implementation & there's no substitute for community leadership/organizing to shift behavior.

Folks, here's your daily reminder The harm of climate change is caused by **cumulative** greenhouse gases. So: a very slow path to zero by 2050 does much more absolute harm than a very fast one. This isn't widely understood: the fossil industry knows and exploits this.

A huge document leak reveals nations lobbying to change a key climate report ahead of COP26, which when you hear who some of the players are (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Australia, et al), you will not be surprised about their comments (more CCS, coal can stay) bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Climate colonizers are motivated by desire for accumulating/consolidating power and wealth & are disinterested in changing behavior to accommodate planetary boundaries

I got salty last night about dismissive reactions to this article and told some free market bros that their takes were bad. I had to disengage because I have deadlines and students who should be getting more of my time.
