What's one of those life skills you wish you had, but never learn? Mine is the phonetic alphabet (i.e., "C as in Charlie"). I always panic and give the most unhinged, top-of-my-brain examples, like "M as in mammoths" or "P as in poop." I hope I at least entertain service workers.

I research Earth's past and present for a better future. Podcaster for the planet. Chaotic good professor at the University of Maine. Settler on Penobscot lands. Pronouns: She/her
In an essay out today in the AGU journal Eos, @jeffcorbin, Meghan Duffy, @carlyziter and I discuss the urgent need to move beyond the "it's real, it's bad, it's us" approach to climate education. What is desperately needed instead are pathways towards climate action that engage and empower students, while helping to fight the immobility of climate despair.

@jztusk Sorry, you're right -- it's just the title and byline, not the publication.
@gunstick Yep, I blogged for many years! I miss it.
@atthenius I have a bit of a tendency to do threads, I'm afraid!
@JeffAndDonkeys Reading deeply really is a muscle we have to keep exercising, isn't it? I struggle with this, too!
@suzisteffen Mine would most likely be 2 and 3 (and maybe links). My interviewing comes out in my podcasting. Though I might consider it!
@mycotropic I think it's pretty clear that it's his job, if you look at his history.
@jztusk Wall Street Journal. It's visible in the original photo if you embiggen.
So maybe-- just maybe -- Milloy's apparent confusion* about what's going on with past, present, and future climates has more to do with who pays his salary: corporations and groups funded by the Koch brothers and dark money.
*He has a natural sciences BA. He actually does know better.
