NEW: Milwaukee now has an opportunity to rethink the I-94 expansion project, so let’s think big. It’s time to tear down the Stadium Freeway. Let’s recombobulate: recombobulationarea.substack.com/p/tear-down-st…

Teens think they have an all-purpose insult for uncool people over 30 with "OK boomer", but little do they know uncool people over 30 are about to deploy our most devastating weapon against it: ruthlessly appropriating it until it's cringingly uncool to say it in any circumstance

And in early 2018, on average, charging an #EV on the US electricity grid produced carbon emissions equivalent to driving a gas-powered car that got 80 miles per gallon. 80 MPG! blog.ucsusa.org/dave-reichmuth…

Ticks carried by migratory birds have been raining down on Canada for years. But only in the last 15 years, amid a changing climate and the creation of new habitats in the north, have populations of deer ticks been able to establish a permanent beachhead. undark.org/article/lyme-d…

Repairing degraded hydrologic and landscape conditions *can be* one of the more cost-effective solutions for Kickapoo Valley communities. Disconnected floodplains and wetlands is common and their role in fueling flood risks is not well understood. madison.com/news/local/kic…

It is a disaster to repeal #methane regs. And it's not just about climate. Many start-ups are now developing techs to rapidly find #methane leaks. They represent hundreds of high-paying, local jobs. This is a #jobs disaster, as much as a #climate one. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

#Wishcycling is when people wish something is recyclable, so it doesn't end up in a landfill. Sadly, plastic bags are clogging the #recyclingprocess in Milwaukee & costing taxpayers money. Keep the bags out of your recycle bin & find a drop off location: plasticfilmrecycling.org/recycling-bags…

As we gear up for even MORE snow, a reminder that road salt and de-icers are a real threat to our health of our #rivers. A 12oz cup of salt is ALL you need to treat a 20-foot driveway or 10 sidewalk squares >>> buff.ly/2M1RsWV

Brook trout have narrow temperature ranges in which they can live/reproduce, and are particularly threatened by a changing climate. One study found their distribution in WI may shrink by 44% even under moderate warming scenarios #25DaysofFishmas wicci.wisc.edu/Fishery.php

Minneapolis achieves major breakthrough in struggle to expand affordable housing by cutting back on zoning. An issue that unites experts across political spectrum, but very hard to make progress on. Hopefully, other jurisdictions can replicate success. reason.com/volokh/2018/12…

Three days ago, @SenFitzgerald said this about the lame-duck session: "It’s real kind of inside baseball, kind of legislative stuff that it’s hard for me to believe people will get too excited about." It turns out it's a BFD. bit.ly/2QoaJGT
