I have family roots in Delta. My grandfather was mayor. I remember the IPP being built. One of the engineers who was brought in to help moved across the street from my grandmother. They installed solar panels on their roof. Always thought about doing research on it. Glad you’re doing it.

Happy to see this study published in @environmentalpol.bsky.social Vol 34, Issue 6. In it, I show how rightwing populists, especially those holding nationalist attitudes, consistently employ climate delay discourses (here whataboutism) to justify climate inaction. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My family and I are now officially permanent residents of Canada 🇨🇦.
So the Trump admin is now revising the prior US National Climate Assessments. This barely made the news. This is blatant war on science.
New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵
