This trip, inspired by the inimitable Alaskan ecologist Terry Chapin, took 9 months to plan with a team of over 30 scientists + community organizers to coordinate 29 talks and meetings in 5 days (plus a trip to Denali + a glacier hike + whale watching because how can I not?!).
Why so long to plan, and so many events packed into a single week, from 7am to 9pm each day? Because when I travel, I want to make every kilogram of carbon count. They knew that, and they delivered! Here are the details:
My flights will emit 1.77 tonnes of CO2eq. That's a lot. But if you divide by 29 events (not including the fun stuff), that's 60kg per event, which is the equivalent per event of driving to Dallas and back in my little car that gets 35mpg once the battery runs out to do 4 events.

You can call me Dr Dr Dr Hayhoe now! 😁

Last night I was honoured with a doctorate in humane letters from my alma mater, @VicCollege_UofT, adding to my earned PhD in atmospheric sciences from @Illinois_Alma and an honorary doctorate from the amazing @colgateuniv last May.
What was particularly special about this one is that my aunt Ruth Hayhoe and I were honoured together! She is an eminent professor and scholar in the area of Asian education who worked at @OISEUofT and served as president of the Hong Kong Institute of Education.
Not only that, but most of our family are also @VicCollege_UofT grads. Both my sisters followed me to Vic, Christy graduating with a degree in chemistry and art, Deb in mathematics and linguistics.

"Was it caused by climate change?" is the most common question when we hear about an extreme event. But when it comes to hurricanes, that's the wrong question. The right one is, "how much worse did climate change make it?" (thread)
Climate change isn't making hurricanes more frequent. But tropical storms - hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons - are fueled by the ocean, and 93% of the heat trapped inside the climate system by human emissions is going into, you guessed it, the ocean. So here's what's happening...
As the ocean warms, hurricanes are:
* intensifying faster
* getting stronger
* have a lot more rainfall associated with them
* getting bigger, too
* moving more slowly
* and then there's sea level rise, which makes storm surges worse

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Next week I'll be giving a talk at the Society of Hospital Medicine Annual Conference (#hospmed19).

In anticipation, I'd love your thoughts on a few cases/questions.

I'll be discussing your answers and my thoughts on Tuesday 3/26 at 11am.
Case 1:

A 60-year-old man with hypertension and hyperlipidemia presents with substernal chest pressure. After initial evaluation in the emergency department, including a normal ECG and one negative troponin, he is admitted to medicine for “ROMI”.
Case 1, Question 1

After a second troponin returns negative, would you suggest a stress test?
