We can calculate just how much more water is falling during record downpours, how much greater area is burned by wildfires, how much stronger hurricanes are, and how much more deadly our heat waves are due to climate change. @FrediOtto and I explain, here: nytimes.com/2021/08/17/opi…
In the face of the continuous weather extremes we’re seeing today—wildfires, flooding, heatwaves and more—how can people continue to deny the risk of climate impacts and/or the urgency of climate action? Because it’s never been about the science. Watch: m.youtube.com/watch?v=nkMIjb…

If I just explain the facts, they'll get it, right?
Sigh. Yet again we see that hardening schools is not the solution so many seem to think it is. Gun violence and gun access is a community problem that spills into schools. We must address the larger community issues. #uted #utpol
From @saige_miller @KUER - Is this record winter snowfall enough to revive the Great Salt Lake? Simple answer: no. Saige has the details on what is needed. kuer.org/health-science…

What vital signs will show us that the Great Salt Lake is improving?
While Utah’s leaders are optimistic about the record snow and spring runoff, researchers remain concerned about the state of the lake.

All the young activists rising up give me hope as I leave my life. As the movement against the Vietnam War showed, young people can save lives when they make their care known in action. Keep going. The world is in your hands. cnn.com/videos/tv/2023…
For decades policymakers have debated how to address gun violence, often defaulting to a militarized police response. This solution has repeatedly failed, with sometimes fatal consequences. There's a new way forward: Violence Interruption Programs... fcnl.org/updates/2021-0…

Violence Interrupters | Friends Committee On National Legislation
Violence interrupters or “credible messengers” as they’re sometimes called identify those most likely to commit violence, they intercede, mentor, teach nonviolence, provide alternative thought...
Climate change stands between us and a better future. Many of the solutions are already at hand. At this point, the only question is: what are we waiting for?
Our choices matter and the faster we act, the better off we will all be - all of us who call this planet home.
Folks advocating nuclear power and fossils fuels with carbon capture for electricity, rather than solar and wind power, are arguing for the most expensive and least scale-able ways to fight climate change. Important figure from the IPCC Synthesis Report: ipcc.ch/report/sixth-a…
A more wildfire-resilient future *is* possible. And states can help make it happen. pew.org/3gWm1RW #EMGtwitter
Please text me pictures of dust tomorrow afternoon. And send me your location. Then go back inside. :)
As the system approaches, winds will become strong and gusty Tuesday into early Wednesday. Winds will be strongest over western Utah, where gusts to 55mph are forecast. #utwx
3+ years in, it's sad and notable that so much work has to go in to providing the evidence (for a respiratory virus) they work. nytimes.com/2023/03/10/opi… washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
I understand people who want politicians to make everyone’s lives better. I understand people who just want politicians to make their life better. But what I don’t understand is people who support politicians who openly aim to make some group of people’s lives worse.
Our Executive Director, Katie Wright, recently spoke with @KCPW about the Utah legislative session, the lawsuit against gerrymandering, and the importance of accountable politicians. Listen here: kpcw.org/show/local-new…
I share @BundersonTricia ‘s the concern that Utah legislators are “increasingly focused on power and winning rather than principled legislation and fair representation”.

Nice article from @andyblarsen summarizing the Great Salt Lake Strike Team report. “We’re left with two potential solutions that make more than a little difference without being insane: water banking and leasing and agriculture water optimization.” sltrib.com/news/2023/02/2…

Andy Larsen: Yes, we can save enough water to preserve the Great Salt Lake. Here’s how.
How do we save enough water to save the Great Salt Lake? A collaborative report from scientists from the University of Utah and Utah State University, along with state officials, tells the tale.
Monday 8:10am #UtLeg Senate is scheduled to hear HB54 $400m income tax cut that diverts >$500 per student from #UtEd mostly to households with six-figure incomes but nothing for most low-income Utahns. Public comment: Rm 210 Senate Bldg or online at le.utah.gov/committee/comm… #UtPol
Schools accepting #SchoolVouchers are often small, financially distressed sub-prime schools with high failure rates. #txlege #ARleg #KSleg #NEleg Others pop up just to grab tax 💰and close within 4 years That and more data in my latest @dallasnews 👇 dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
