AMucked up. I hate to say it, but even a decade or more ago I was telling people shits gonna happen faster than all the models. Call it a coin toss that I have so far been correct.

Climate data is particularly scarce where we need it the most: at the poles but also the modeling has neglected land use. Some of that was due to a lack of compute power and the inconvenient politics that land use puts politicians on the spot for their development policies.

Heard about the #Yellowstone super volcano? Well, today I learned about “large igneous provinces” and now I’m really on alert. Prepping is sounding reasonable (and not so crazy) about now. I really enjoy this #PBSTerra series, it’s very informative and features academic experts. It is also balanced and well-presented. #geology #disasters #volcano #PBS

Today’s TIL is a doozie.

Apparently there are crocodiles native to the U.S. A formerly endangered species of crocs which coexist with alligators in Florida have been downgraded to threatened thanks in part to a nuclear power plant. 🤯

Check it out.

"... the Colorado River runs through two countries and five states on its way to the Gulf of California. Or at least it used to. The river hasn’t met the sea in decades. All that water disappeared into a complicated web of poor management, short-sighted policies, and human infrastructure, as this video from PBS Terra explores.The good news is that we can still change that and rehabilitate the landscapes we’ve lost.
