Atlantans pregaming for this weekend's Inman Park festival, I wrote this for you: vox.com/climate/241319…

Coral reefs are, indeed, collapsing. Climate change doesn’t just deal a temporary blow to these animals — it will bring about the end of reefs as we know them.

The latest from Benji Jones for Vox: vox.com/climate/241372…

The end of fossil fuels is coming: The inertia behind the trend toward lower emissions is so immense that even politics can only slow it down, not stop it.

We explain what happens next.

It's bad that there's bird flu in milk, but not because you'll get sick right now. It's bad because our government sucks at surveilling disease and making data public ahead of time.

The US Department of Agriculture should've marshaled a vigorous and transparent response to bird flu infecting dairy cows. Instead, it's been tepid and opaque. vox.com/future-perfect…

You're not imagining things: Allergy season is worse now.

My latest for Vox is about how (and why) to deal with all the gross stuff coming out of your face.

We might be closer to changing course on climate change than we realized trib.al/2yEmMXJ

I’m blown away by the response to this piece 🫶🏻thank you, everyone. Most of our work is on the structural, welfare & climate problems w animal ag so it’s great to see the reception to a positive case for veganism as a moral baseline. More in the works where that came from btw 👀

So excited for this series🥰

The UN Refugee Agency says that 'an annual average of 21.5 million people have been forcibly displaced, on average, each year since 2008 by weather-related events such as floods, storms, wildfires, and extreme temperatures.' vox.com/climate/241330… via Paige Vega (Blankenbuehler) Vox

Mentioned in the piece, too, is that this one part of a much bigger story on how livestock production has transformed -- in many instances, destroyed -- habitats. Agriculture, especially animal ag, is the top threat to wildlife bc it requires so much land and thus deforestation.

'You may think urban animals are gross, but we are the ones filling the city with trash.'

The meat industry's war on wildlife: Each year, a federal program kills 1.5 to 5 million wild animals, most of them in an effort to protect the livestock industry. Ex-employees and conservationists say it's ineffective and inhumane. vox.com/future-perfect…

A beautiful piece that pushes back against the notion that cutting out meat means cutting out tradition & community.
