New paper out: Over 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater is warming fast in the Great Lakes. The challenge of climate change demands attention, but it's not alone as we consider how to manage this incredible resource. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Today's Supreme Court's ruling in Sackett vs EPA means that more than 51% of US wetlands will lose CWA protections. EE News's @ArielWittenberg breaks down the impacts.
SCOTUS basically saw TRUMP #WOTUS and decided to *exclude more wetlands* from protections. I'll explain 1/

I would personally like to thank SCOTUS for releasing the SACKETT decision while the 4 month old is napping. Well played, #WOTUS

"We encourage everyone to continue using #GreatLakes to keep the conversations going and build connections around the U.S., Canada, and the world to benefit the health of the Great Lakes region."
For all you #GreatLakes stewards - due to changes in Twitter's API, @SustMemeTop500 will no longer be able to publish the #GreatLakes500 list. This weekly list of the top 500 users committed to creating dialogue about the Great Lakes fostered a vibrant community that started new collaborations and raised awareness about issues impacting the Great Lakes. Thank you to everyone who participated in and looked forward to finding their name on the Great Lakes 500 list each week. And a special thanks to @SustMeme for helping us foster binational dialogs. We encourage everyone to continue using #GreatLakes to keep the conversations going and build connections around the U.S., Canada, and the world to benefit the health of the Great Lakes region. @ttuomaala @M_Damaschke @nlichten @DrAHerzog @neilchawkins
