I had the privilege to present our @Nature paper to a visual artist collective, called #crisisilustrada, and they are coming up with these mesmerizing illustrations.
Art & science are profoundly interconnected
Check them out and the paper:

What unfolds when ecosystems shift across national borders due to climate change?
Thrilled to share our latest paper in @nature, which delves into the consequences of these climate-driven biome migrations on human well-being.

The campaign to preserve half the Earth’s surface is being criticized for failing to take account of global inequality and human needs. But such protection is essential for creating a world that can improve the lives of the poor and disadvantaged. e360.yale.edu/features/prote…

I read this and wonder why Biden is not saying “ok, that’s cool, but if you don’t vote for this, you can bet that I will be bringing an aggressive Sec 111(b) rule for both new CCGT and coal. And an existing source rule that is conservative and defensible. nytimes.com/2021/10/15/clima…

With dozens of researchers at Yale, Stanford, Berkeley and IPA and several other organizations, we ran a cluster randomized trial involving almost 350,000 people and 600 villages in Bangladesh to assess the impact of community masking on COVID.

New: Here’s a breakdown of the 17 executive actions President Biden will sign this afternoon in the Oval. Many directly undo Trump's touted accomplishments. @cbsnews

In a few hours, @JoeBiden will issue an executive order that obliterates much of Trump’s deregulatory climate agenda. It is the first step toward restoring protections for national monuments and endangered species and re-entering Paris climate agreement.

The DC Circuit just struck down the Trump administration’s Affordable Clean Energy Rule which had replaced the Obama era Clean Power Plan for power plant C02: EPA “failed to rely on its own judgment and expertise, and instead based its decision on an erroneous view of the law.”

It seems increasingly likely that Biden will win the presidential election but that democrats will not secure a majority in the senate. That means action on climate and energy will almost certainly have to proceed via regulation using existing authority. A thread...

Every single serious analysis I read of this election said that it would be long and drawn out, and that Trump would try to steal the election by trying to discount late-arriving Biden votes. And now that it's happening...everyone seems shocked.

6-year-old: can you explain this like it’s a soccer game?
10-year-old: it’s going to extra time
12-year-old: And the Republicans control VAR
Mom: And there’ll be lots of injury time.

Trump sacked the @NOAA chief scientist & separately created a new senior post for a climate denier. This sort of story goes almost unnoticed these days. It mustn't. Kudos to @LFFriedman & @cflav, and to @nytimes for running it on A1 above the fold. nyti.ms/3jzm3KK
