This one changed the way I work as a climate writer. Honored to be included among such a fascinating, harrowing, moving set of stories.
A company wants to mine water that lies deep beneath the Mojave Desert and sell it to wealthy Californians. It’s legal. But is it right? @brettvsimpson examines the arguments of industry, ethicists, and the local Chemehuevi tribe. For @TheAtlantic: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
ETHICS is what's missing in much conversation about #water. Congratulations to @brettvsimpson for winning a Covering Climate Now award for this fantastic story about water ethics in California.
Something unexpected lies deep beneath California’s Mojave Desert: an enormous amount of water. But whether the state should draw from this untapped ancient resource is a matter of intense debate, @brettvsimpson wrote last year: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Covering the Arctic as a climate writer has (perhaps inevitably) led me to write about security. The high North is Russia's most militarized zone. Soon, Arctic NATO states will outnumber Russia 7:1. In the world's fastest changing region, tensions are rising with temperatures.
For Russia’s Scandinavian neighbors, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine disrupted a cool calculus of neutrality, Brett Simpson writes. foreignpolicy.com/2024/02/09/sca…
The war in Ukraine pushed Germany, which was falling behind on renewable energy goals, to enact some ambitious new policies. Some of those changes are going well, but they face headwinds elsewhere. By @brettvsimpson theworld.org/stories/2023-0…
Russia’s exclusion from the Arctic Council seemed an appropriate response to its war of aggression but the group has fractured along territorial lines, awaiting a return to a status quo that seems increasingly impossible. By #IWMFgrantee @brettvsimpson: foreignpolicy.com/2023/05/31/arc…
Russia’s exclusion from the Arctic Council seemed an appropriate response to its invasion of Ukraine, but it may have made the group obsolete, writes @brettvsimpson buff.ly/3N2amya
In my latest analysis for @ForeignPolicy: what does Russia's war of aggression mean for the future circumpolar cooperation? Abundant thanks to @IWMF and @boell_us for the support! foreignpolicy.com/2023/05/31/arc…
Norway is laying the groundwork to become a renewable energy superpower. But one major obstacle still stands in its way: ordinary Norwegians, writes @brettvsimpson buff.ly/3DtVhQy
Last year, Norway won big off of the European energy crisis. Now this oil-rich nation is laying the groundwork to become a renewable energy superpower. In my latest for @ForeignPolicy: Nordic energy opportunism and a few contradictions.
Norway has the potential to emerge as the world’s next clean energy superpower. buff.ly/3DtVhQy
Terrific piece by former Berkeley student @brettvsimpson
Fossil water, or paleowater, is the largest freshwater resource on the planet. But it's buried deep—for most of human history, most didn't know it was there. CA's Mojave hides a massive supply from the last Ice Age. So should we tap it? My latest (& biggest) for @TheAtlantic:

An area of sea ice bigger than Texas is 'missing' around Antarctica, and that has consequences. The steady global decline of sea is a clear signal of the #ClimateEmergency insideclimatenews.org/news/06012023/…
As the year comes to a close, I am feeling especially grateful to @pulitzercenter In 2021, they helped get me to the Norwegian Arctic. In 2022, they were the first to support reporting on the herring harvest in Sitka, AK, long before the story had a home: thenation.com/article/enviro…
The soldiers we lost in the 18 years after 9/11: 7,014. The people not in cars killed by people driving cars in the US in the same timeframe: 112,519. Here is a story about a boy on a bike. It shouldn't have been a sad story but it is. (@BicyclingMag) bicycling.com/culture/a41119…
“This isn’t just food. It’s our culture; it’s our spirit." 2021 HRC fellow and @ucbsoj graduate @brettvsimpson reports how Alaska's indigenous Tlingit people are fighting to protect the Pacific herring:

Can a commercial fishery be managed sustainably in a capitalist economy? The state of Alaska says it’s doing just that with a Pacific herring fishery. But the Sitka Tribe of Alaska begs to differ. @brettvsimpson goes deep. (In partnership with @FERNnews) thenation.com/article/enviro…
Alaska’s herring row is central to Tlingit culture and to sustainable ecosystems. Overfishing threatens both. @FERNnews latest with @thenation, by @brettvsimpson photos by @NATHANIELWILDER thefern.org/2022/08/alaska…
“This isn’t just food. It’s our culture; it’s our spirit,” says K’asheechtlaa “Louise” Brady. “This is the taste of what it means to be Tlingit.” I feel lucky that I got to taste herring eggs for myself—and witness their 10,000 year old harvest— for @thenation and @FERNnews
