New piece: THE COLORADO RIVER DOES NOT REACH 2030 8,000 words of near-future climate fiction built from today. Every element drawn from published science or political dynamics already in motion. It's about snow, heat, a dam, a grid, and a 74-year-old woman who couldn't afford her electricity bill.

The environmental movement asked me to find common ground with people who want me gone. Then told me my tone was the problem. New essay. Thread 🧵

Really excited to see some of my recent writing is getting traction. I’m in the long game for issues on the environment winning the left elections but we have to clean house open.substack.com/pub/drlennec...

Just dropped a dispatch from the NPR-A—America’s biggest public land unit, and arguably its first petroleum sacrifice zone. We packrafted 140 miles through thawing permafrost, ancient trade routes, and the edge of a storm system that nearly stranded us.

Recently stepped away from all Meta platforms to create a space for deeper, more meaningful engagement online—and to build a more cohesive political and environmental movement through my work. To old friends: great to see you here. To new connections: welcome.

Hey y'all I'm building a list of native scholars and academics out here in #nativesky #indigisky or whatever we are calling it. I want to create a resource for those of us connected to the academy to connect. Who should be on this list? Tag them below. bsky.app/profile/did:...

How bad is the drought in the northeast? Here’s the Youghiogheny River Lake Reservoir, at the PA/MD border. Notice the high water line on the bridge piers. Water level is so low it revealed a stone bridge in decent shape on the National Road built in 1813 & submerged when reservoir was built in 1944

A bridge over a very dry lake bed with a little water. The dark part of the bridge piers is the normal high water line

Part of my work is in the media in the environmental world. In the last few years I’ve had to sit and watch right wing actors take control and set the narrative on important environmental topics - all while non profits and their funders seemingly haven’t took the issue seriously.
