GYE is on nrn fringe of the extreme heat dome bringing all-time record MAR heat to Wrn US. Red Lodge tied all-time MAR high yest. 22C (72F). Previously 3/27 and 31/2015. Drove in thru WY-296 to US-212, to ski up that from 2213m to 2580m. Side detour near start ridge above Lily Lake. 14C at the start, 10C or so when we turned back. Dismal snowpack lower, but above 2400m looking good. Melting rapidly, everything. More deer out w the mild winter, had close call. #climate #skiing #dogs #wyoming #gye

The tunnels are the hardware that makes that promise real. A flat route under the mountains allows longer and heavier freight trains with lower energy use, since locomotives no longer need to climb steep gradients. Studies of Eurozone freight show that trains typically require about one-fifth of the energy and emit roughly one-quarter of the greenhouse gases per tonne‑kilometer compared with heavy trucks

Approximately 114 of Mexico’s 653 aquifers are already overexploited, and nearly half are operating at a deficit, according to the country’s water authority.

🌎 Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich, died March 13,2026
"In his 2023 memoir, “Life,” Ehrlich expressed deep gratitude for a 70-year career in science. However, he was frustrated over what he saw as the inability of science to penetrate America’s stubbornly unscientific political culture. He was also saddened that the environmental movement was failing to effectively oppose “the forces that pose existential threats to civilization.” Throughout his career as a public scholar, Ehrlich was never afraid to look into the abyss."

I noticed around twenty years ago that insects in Europe were in serious decline. It didn’t even need a ‘scientific study’ and I use the same methodology today.
In the 1980s, in summer, when I drove in Europe, the windscreen of my car was covered in dead insects after only 100km of driving.
By the early 2000s this was no longer true. Many fewer bug-splats on the glass.
Now? Hardly any at all.
You cannot blame Climate Change for this. This is down to excessive pesticides and farming techniques.
Now studies show bird populations in serious decline. Ever wonder what they used to eat?
We learnt nothing from the DDT fiasco, apparently.

#AntiProtestLaws Threaten #Indigenous and #Climate Movements
“#CriticalInfrastructure” laws in over a dozen states wrongly invoke national security to justify targeting #PipelineProtesters.
Kaylana Mueller-Hsia, March 17, 2021
"In 2016 as a member of Congress, #DebHaaland stood for four days in solidarity with protesters at the #StandingRockSioux Reservation against construction of the #DakotaAccessPipeline. Today, as the first #NativeAmerican to be the secretary of the interior — the first to lead any cabinet department — she has the opportunity to support the #FirstAmendment rights of the protesters she joined in the past.
"With her authority over energy development on federal lands, Haaland can be a voice for Indigenous and climate movements facing an urgent threat: the rapid spread of laws to protect 'critical infrastructure' that single out activists.
"Since 2016, 13 states have quietly enacted laws that increase criminal penalties for trespassing, damage, and interference with infrastructure sites such as oil refineries and pipelines. At least five more states have already introduced similar legislation this year. These laws draw from national security legislation enacted after 9/11 to protect physical infrastructure considered so 'vital' that the 'incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety.'
"Many industry sectors are designated critical infrastructure, including food and agriculture, energy, water and wastewater, and communications, but most state critical infrastructure laws focus more narrowly on oil and gas #pipelines. While protecting critical infrastructure is a legitimate government function, these laws clearly target environmental and Indigenous activists by significantly raising the penalties for participating in or even tangentially supporting pipeline trespassing and property damage, crimes that are already illegal. Many laws are modelled on draft legislation prepared by the American Legislative Exchange Council, also known as #ALEC, a powerful lobbying group funded by #FossilFuel companies like #ExxonMobil and #Shell.
"Central to the new critical infrastructure laws are increased criminal penalties and vague, broad definitions that could discourage protest and particularly, nonviolent civil disobedience. Many laws make any 'damage' to or 'interference' with a facility deemed critical infrastructure a felony. Under #Ohio’s law, trespass with the purpose of 'tampering' with a facility is a third degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. In Indiana, a felony conviction is applied for any facility trespass, a crime that is typically a misdemeanor or fine.
"Vague language like 'damage,' 'tamper,' and 'impede' in critical infrastructure laws makes it unclear if, for example, knocking down #SafetyCones and starting a fire next to a natural gas facility are the same under the law. Many critical infrastructure laws do not clarify if they apply only to land a company fully owns or also to pipeline easements, which run through both public and private lands. At least some laws apply to both. Only a week after Louisiana’s critical infrastructure law was enacted, opponents of the Bayou Bridge pipeline were charged with trespassing for boating on public waters on the border of a pipeline easement.
"The combination of overly broad language and steep penalties in critical infrastructure laws make it likely that future activists and supporting organizations will be discouraged from exercising their First Amendment-protected protest rights. A lawsuit brought in response to the #BayouBridge charges will test the laws for the first time on First Amendment grounds.
"Many of these laws even extend beyond the protesters. In a proposed law in #Minnesota, anyone who 'recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires' someone to trespass without a 'reasonable effort' to prevent the trespassing is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. In #Oklahoma organizations that conspire with perpetrators are liable to be fined up to $1 million. These laws may infringe on the freedom of association protected under the First Amendment. Indeed, the Supreme Court ruled that the illegal actions of a few individuals do not implicate an entire group.
"The criminalization of environmental protest is fueled by federal security agencies and oil and gas companies, who are often major political donors. For years, the Department of #HomelandSecurity and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have labelled activists at infrastructure sites as #DomesticTerrorists and violent extremists in order to justify further #surveillance and #policing. Government documents have been released that detail the FBI’s focus on '#AnimalRights / #EnvironmentalExtremism,' describing even #NonviolentProtesters as #extremists.
"At Standing Rock, a private security firm [#Blackwater] hired by the pipeline companies consistently referred to protesters as 'terrorists' while working with law enforcement. Ahead of the #KeystoneXLPipeline protests in 2018, #DHS agents held an '#AntiTerrorism training' for state and local authorities. In contrast, members of the #FarRight militant group the #ThreePercenters have established a significant presence at oil and gas plants with little law enforcement reaction.
"To be sure, as the recent power outages in Texas showed so vividly, the United States needs reliable energy. But it’s questionable whether pipeline construction sites that could feasibly be moved or replaced with renewable energy sources should legitimately be considered 'vital' to the energy grid. Furthermore, a singular focus on this aspect of security comes at the cost of others. Whose essential resources do pipeline projects protect and whose do they threaten? Black Americans are disproportionately likely to live near natural #GasPipelines and experience higher #CancerRisk due to unclean air. An oil spill from the Dakota Access Pipeline could devastate the #SiouxTribe’s water source. Meanwhile, on some reservations, 10 percent of households lack electricity and as many as 40 percent of households must haul water and use outhouses. The well-being of these communities must count too.
"The rise in critical infrastructure laws may foreshadow more anti-protest legislation to come. A similar wave of anti-protest laws has already begun in response to the 2020 #BlackLivesMatter protests. State legislators contemplating critical infrastructure laws should bear in mind that laws that criminalize trespassing and protect the safety of construction workers and law enforcement already exist. Critical infrastructure laws don’t fill an unmet need — they only raise the penalties for specific groups of people. Courts adjudicating #FirstAmendment challenges in the coming years should recognize that these laws are overbroad and impose disproportionately severe penalties that chill freedom of assembly and association.
"As secretary of the interior, Haaland promises to uplift the voices of Indigenous and climate protesters in the Biden administration. State legislators, law enforcement, and the fossil fuel industry should follow suit and listen to these activists rather than suppressing constitutionally protected activity under the guise of national security."

Ya'all. This is not normal. This is climate change. A warming climate and the changes going on in the atmosphere it is causing is what allows these out of season, out of character, cold snaps. Frigid temps that are supposed to be contained to the Arctic, instead spread out. Meaning in the South US, we have snow, in the middle of March, a few days away from the official start of Spring. I used to live in Michigan (almost Canada), and getting fresh snow in March was rare.
At least I like playing in the snow, but this is not the correct time. Bittersweet fun. This photo I created *today*.

5.5 tonnes per hour is the amount of methane emitted by a single oil and gas site in the United States — equivalent to running about a million SUVs — according to an analysis that names and shames the worst methane leakers in the world.
The super-polluting plumes from oil and gas facilities have a colossal heating impact on the climate but often result from poor maintenance and can be simple to fix.
It is "maddening" that such easy action to fight the climate crisis is not being taken. People should be angry.
Stopping the leaks can even be free, given that captured gas can be sold – methane is the "natural gas" that fires power stations.

Centuries of net-negative emissions are required to secure a safe climate future, two studies suggest
Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term #climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (#CO2) #emissions for centuries. Approaching the problem from distinct perspectives—legal and technological feasibility on the one hand, and economic optimization under uncertainty on the other—the research converges on a consistent message:
--> reaching net zero is not enough.
Both studies were led by researchers from the Exploratory Modeling of Human-natural Systems Research Group of the #IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program and underline that achieving the #ParisAgreement goals will demand durable commitments to large-scale #CarbonDioxide removal (#CDR) extending far beyond current policy timelines.

Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright secretly arranged for five hand-picked climate contrarians to form the “Climate Working Group” last year. They were assigned to secretly draft a biased report challenging the overwhelming scientific consensus underpinning the Endangerment Finding – EPA's foundational scientific finding that climate pollution endangers public health and the environment. That report was kept hidden until it was unveiled as part of the Trump administration EPA’s proposal to overturn the Endangerment Finding last July.From https://www.edf.org/media/records-trump-administrations-illegal-climate-working-group-available-online

In the fight against the climate crisis, countries are pinning great hope in reforestation projects. In a new study, ETH Zurich researchers show that the location in which reforestation is taking place is usually more important than the number of trees planted. If forests are strategically positioned, the same cooling effect could be achieved using half the area of land

Back when I lived in the Phoenix area, each year there was a contest in the newspaper for who could guess the first 100F day. If I recall correctly, it was usually sometime in early May.
The record for earliest 100F day is March 26, 1988.
It looks like that record is going to fall, probably on Wednesday.
And of course, I have appointments in the area Tuesday through Thursday 😿

Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term #climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions for centuries.
Approaching the problem from distinct perspectives—legal and technological feasibility on the one hand, and #economic optimization under #uncertainty on the other—the research converges on a consistent message: reaching net zero is not enough.
The former study examines how to halt the growth of delayed climate impacts, such as sea-level rise and permafrost thaw, that continue to intensify even if global temperatures stabilize at 1.5°C.
Following the 2025 advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice affirming states' obligations to prevent significant climate harm, the authors assess what would be required to stop these impacts from worsening.
Their conclusion is clear: net-zero emissions alone will not stabilize these long-term damages.
The second study addresses how uncertainty in the Earth system should shape optimal climate #policy.
Widely used integrated assessment modeling approaches seldom account for uncertainty when designing optimal climate policies.
Crucially, the results indicate that sustained, potentially century-long net-negative emissions are needed, not to offset temporary overshoot, but to reduce long-term Earth system risks.

Hey All - yeah everything sucks but I have an easy actionable thing to channel your rage!
⚠️ The US Forest Service is proposing to rescind the Roadless Rule. Created 25 years ago, this rule protects millions of acres from unnecessary roadbuilding and harmful industrial development.
✅ What to Do: Send your Congress people a letter, email, fax, call them, to ask them to keep the Roadless Rule.
There is an automated letter here you can electronically submit that Southern Environmental Law put together: https://act.selc.org/page/90991
Free fax contact info of all reps by state: https://faxzero.com/fax_congress.php
If this sounds familiar, it is because I posted about it last year when this first came out. *It is still being fought!* So please, speak up again, speak up now. You can also ask them to pass HR3930 while you are at it: "Roadless Area Conservation Act".
ETA some facts if you write your own:
- Protects over 50 million acres
- brings in $15 billion to local economies for recreation alone
- This site has a nice filter for your state (and even district specific!) https://www.eartheconomics.org/news/roadless-rules
- 99% of the 6,000+ comments were in favor of keeping the Roadless Rule

Black rain is falling in Iran after strikes on oil facilities. Scientists warn of long-term consequences
‚The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a warning Tuesday about toxic pollutants in the air after the Saturday strikes on four oil storage facilities and an oil production transfer centre sparked pillars of flames and thick, black clouds that later produced black, oily rain.
Residents in the city of 10 million reported having trouble breathing and said they experienced dizziness and burning sensations as the rain, mixed with chemicals from burning oil, fell from the sky.
The UN health agency says it has received multiple reports of black rain since the attacks, which came just over a week into the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, and supports Iran's advisory urging people to remain indoors.
The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned that the rain can cause serious lung damage and chemical burns to the skin…..‘
Extreme heat now affects one in three people globally.

"#Climate breakdown is “inextricably linked” to the world’s #water crisis, multiple studies have shown, but poor farming practices, overextraction of water, the erosion of soil and destruction of natural vegetation are also factors.
Africa lost about 12% of its GDP owing to the increasing aridity between 1990 and 2015, the report found. Even worse losses are forecast: Africa will lose about 16% of its GDP, and Asia close to 7%, in the next half decade."
But cities are not mechanical assemblies. They’re living systems, comprising features that include water and energy infrastructure, nature, buildings, institutions, and human relationships. When those systems fail to reinforce one another, resilience strategies stall—not because the technology fails, but because coordination does

The findings illustrate a well-known cognitive bias known as “overoptimism,” specifically a variety called “overplacement,” which describes how people tend to rate their own risks as less likely and less severe than those of others.
This tendency can make people less likely to take action to reduce their own risks by, say, quitting smoking or getting vaccinated. Overly optimistic risk perceptions could also make people less likely to support climate action
