@ryankatzrosene.bsky.social👀 Don't ask me why but I've gone down a crazy rabbit hole to find out why pure vanilla extract is so expensive, and came across this wild passage. Turns out growers have *ONE DAY* to *HAND POLLINATE* vanilla orchid flowers in order for them to produce the bean pods!

@noellagray.bsky.socialReposted by @ryankatzrosene.bsky.socialUpdating my Environmental Governance syllabus with some new episodes of the EcoPolitics podcast and just want to thank @ryankatzrosene.bsky.social and Peter Andrée for producing this excellent resource!
@ryankatzrosene.bsky.socialI've organized an event that may be of interest to anyone curious about the Alto high-speed rail project: What can we learn from other countries' experiences with high-speed rail development?

@ryankatzrosene.bsky.socialAnd we have a new all-time record warm *absolute* temperature for the oceans, according to ERA5 (which goes back to 1940): August 21st likely marked the warmest Sea Surface Temperatures have been for the entire Holocene period. Should be major news!

@ryankatzrosene.bsky.socialTonight’s aurora has a bit of blue in it, if you look closely.
@ryankatzrosene.bsky.socialAccording to a 2023 paper in Science, "El Niño persistently reduces country-level economic growth..." with $4.1 trillion and $5.7 trillion in global income losses attributed to the 1982–83 and 1997–98 El Niño events, respectively.
@ryankatzrosene.bsky.socialIt's almost as if each Super El Niño is warmer than the last? 🧐
