Is it just me? Or are others bothered by Stevie Nicks’ song Edge of Seventeen with the refrain “just like the White-winged Dove sings a song, sounds like she’s singing ooh, ooh, ooh." But the ooh, ooh, ooh sounds more like the call of a Mourning Dove than a White-winged Dove.

Still the most under-reported ecological story in North America. Imagine taking a sixth of all remaining old-growth redwoods, complete with their endangered fauna, to build a road.
That is the analogy and those are the stakes.

Updates on the #SaveBellBowlPrairie updates! The Federal Aviation Administration @FAANews confirmed Feb 16th that the airport STILL hasn't submitted a revised federal endangered species Biological Assessment. The document will eventually get submitted to the @USFWS for review.

RT @MarshMaiden Does Nature need cities? Scientists @FieldMuseum say "yes." Increasing evidence points out that not only do cities need nature but that nature, and particularly Monarchs, need cities, too. Check it out frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Excellent break down on the numbers from @KHayhoe
Prof. Katharine Hayhoe@KHayhoe
When it comes to what climate goals we should be aiming for, there are a lot of "magic numbers" floating around - 2 degrees, 12 years, 350ppm, net zero emissions, and more. Here's a short thread explaining the scientific basis--or lack thereof--for each.
