In a new documentary, The New York Times found that reckless breeding and doping practices — and decades-long resistance to changes that could save the lives of horses — have placed a multibillion-dollar ecosystem in peril, and put horse racing at risk. nyti.ms/4dkXDll

It's getting harder and harder to write these stories about #coralreefs and I don't really know what to do. It distresses me and I feel powerless to stop the dying. insideclimatenews.org/news/15042024/…

Sometimes when I see the Twitter prompt I just wanna scream THE POLAR ICE CAPS ARE MELTING REALLY FAST AND IT'S GOING TO REALLY SUCK FOR BILLIONS OF COASTAL PEOPLE and I hope decision makers can fund some more research to learn how fast it will happen. insideclimatenews.org/news/26022024/…

Last year, @RepJoeNeguse and I urged @forestservice to complete an additional review of the risks the Uinta Railway could pose in CO by increasing oil trains along the CO River. I’m pleased USFS has moved to protect our water supplies and environment. cpr.org/2024/01/17/for…

Forest Service withdraws permit for Uinta rail project that would send crude oil through Colorado

If completed, the rail route would link with freight lines that run alongside the Colorado River and cross delicate ecosystems.

Low tide in the Pyrenees ... The ever-growing extent of snowmaking infrastucture seems ludicrous in the face of global warming.
