Calling all freelancers: Pitch @hakaimagazine and editors @judeisabella and @cestmoiLanglois. They are smart, thoughtful, interested in storytelling — and they care DEEPLY about how they treat their writers.
Trust me. It's a special place. hakaimagazine.com/

No, we do not have only '2 years left to save the earth'.
As the science says,

And that is why, as a scientist and a human, I am fully in support of any policy that cuts heat-trapping gas emissions, as soon as possible, while helping the poor and vulnerable already disproportionately suffering its impacts. As the @IPCC_CH says:

Today! Taino Chief Kasike Kalaan Nibronix Kaiman discusses climate change, healing, and storytelling in his talk “Stories as Medicine: Taino and African Healing and the Environment" at URI at 4:30 EST - Check it out on Youtube here: ow.ly/FK8t50R6CCk
Looking forward to where this wonderful initiative goes. Tagging @MetcalfURI community to take a look and sign up. The more journalists who engage the more we will better understand the intersections between mental health, climate, and environmental journalism.

Don't sleep on the state "climate superfund" bills making their way through several state legislatures right now. I wrote about why they may have an advantage over lawsuits against big oil for climate damages, none of which have even gone to trial... heatmap.news/climate/climate…

People are worried and want to do something about climate change, but 99% of the advice around is focused on lifestyle and consumer decisions
This is not just minimally effective for change, but also disempowering and demotivating

The atmosphere you knew is gone - it now holds ~10% more water vapour than just 30 years ago. That's an incredible rise in such a short period. Every 1C of warming, the atmosphere holds 7% more. The rainfall accumulation for the UK/Ireland the past 12 months has been incredible.
Job alert from @MetcalfURI. We are hiring a new Assistant Director to help shape programming, lead operations and grow Metcalf's impact. BIPOC individuals are especially encouraged to apply. We support a hybrid work environment. jobs.uri.edu/postings/13113

Who will benefit from the ocean’s riches? The lack of proper governance has led to the mismanagement of the seabed resources and consolidation of control among a privileged few. My recent article on #DeepSeaMining addresses these issues @unbiasthenews

So it's official. I started at the executive director of the @MetcalfURI and I'm so thrilled to be working with this amazing team! We'll be announcing the topic for the 2024 Annual Workshop for Journalists very soonso stay tuned! And thank you @SunshineMenezes for everything!

Walmart’s extraordinary power and wealth is inextricably tied to the Walton family, who collectively retain control of about half the company’s shares and whose philanthropic impact is boundless.
