Forest carbon is a scam. Just go work in investment banking instead. You'll make more money, and your impact on the climate will be about the same.

Early detection of wildfires is helpful on days when they are fightable, but our largest fires happen during severe weather conditions when no amount of firefighting can stop the spread. There's not always a technical solution for natural disasters.

I got to drive around Paradise today with @susie_c, who is drawing/writing a book about how disaster-affected communities do or don't adapt when they rebuild. I love her style of graphic-based journalism. Here's an example of her work: theguardian.com/us-news/2019/d…

Pretty striking to look at all of the recent changes in land cover in the area where the deadly #Chile #wildfires started last week. The fire made a hard initial run through a dry lakebed and industrial tree plantations of various ages before carrying on through scrublands. Some…

Commissioners’ responses to Balber make it terrifyingly clear that the insurance companies are getting their way — they’re scaring the hell out of bureaucrats who are openly saying they are too afraid to stand up for change. Hell.
Carmen Balber from Consumer Watchdog gets to the crux: the insurance industry shouldn’t decide where people can live — that should be a public policy decision. But it’s a decision the state and local governments all the way down have been punting for years and years.
@megcevans @UNSWCanberra @renew_economy Let’s say it plainly folks: nature based carbon offsetting is entirely a scam. Whether it’s trees or whales the bio carbon is ephemeral, globally dispersed AND CYCLING. Substantial nature based net sequestration within a useful timeframe is pseudoscience: a myth.
@gollnerfire @nplareau I knew at the age of 19 (while in school at Louisiana Tech of all places) that I wanted to “get a PhD and study fire in the mountains”. Glad us old timers have been playing in the proverbial sandbox together for so long!
@nplareau I was warned never to work on wildfire starting in academia. No funding, no future, impossible to start a program. Follow your passion, so much great work you, Craig and the community have accomplished in fire weather!
@GuillermoRein A wildfire incident manager told me once that ‘humans with cellphones’ is probably the most effective early detection system for any fire where a rapid response is genuinely required. I’m always dismayed when early detection is prioritized over prevention/mitigation/education/etc
