☁️ New study on marine cloud brightening out in @NatureClimate ☁️
Regional marine cloud brightening (MCB) in the North Pacific reduces extreme heat over the Western U.S. under present-day conditions but becomes ineffective under mid-century warming.

*Climate justice: we all want it, but what is it?*
NEW PAPER!
nature.com/articles/s41558-0…
We propose a framework for understanding climate justice in research.
Let's dive in, shall we?
Long 🧵🧵🧵

New @PNASNews paper on quantifying fire-specific smoke impacts, expertly led by @jeffliwen. We link each big wildfire (2006-2020) in the US to its impact on PM2.5 and health. Complements typical fire impact measures (burned area, structures lost, etc). 🧵pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

We asked about scientists' climate beliefs, climate actions, the role of scientists and academic institutions, and what is required to address climate change.
91% of all surveyed scientists believe that we need fundamental changes to social, economic, and political systems.

Excited to share our new paper on Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
with @joshapte, @jdhill, @dr_sun_shine, @danagleeson, Esther Min, @rmfrosch, @Regan_Felice, Allen Robinson, @ctessum, and @MarshallJulian.
📢 New paper! This week's @ScienceMagazine Policy Forum.
"Air quality policy should quantify effects on disparities"
New tools can guide US policies to better target and reduce racial and socioeconomic disparities in air pollution exposure.

Johnson & Johnson (@JNJGlobalHealth) is unjustly extending a patent on a life-saving tuberculosis drug. Today's the day for them to realize denying MDR-TB patients treatment is not worth the harm they're causing to core brands like Tylenol and Neutrogena. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

UC operates with 1/2 the per-student funding it did 20 years ago by paying poverty wages to lecturers and grad students. As those workers negotiate better wages, rather than demand adequate funding, UCOP is making austerity cuts that'll damage UC's teaching and research mission.

Incredible generational shift:
In 1997, 43% of 16 year olds had their driver’s license. By 2020, it was just 25%.
Even by age 24, 1 in 5 today don’t have a driver’s license

Thrilled that our paper is now out in @ScienceAdvances! @jaburney, @MarshallBBurke, @samheftneal, @ebdStanford, Jonathan Proctor, and I quantify how the geographic source of aerosol pollution transforms who feels their climate and societal impacts and how strongly. 🧵👇
The original location of emitted aerosols and other short-lived #pollutants can substantially shape their subsequent impacts on #climate, human welfare, and economic growth, a new study in @ScienceAdvances shows. fcld.ly/p71xvwd
