Greece’s agricultural breadbasket.
“Can’t happen here” has become “Happening here, there and everywhere”

We can work on fire prevention and wear masks but that's only the short term.

This is green and fun! We could do more of this with decent bike paths.

It is important to have them be protected and quality bike paths too

This medical facility in Indiana got a #solarpower upgrade. It's the first carbon neutral medical facility in the state.
RT if you think more parking lots should go #solar.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

The Thessalian plain in central Greece has literally turned into one enormous lake.
~70,000 hectares of land are under water.
Devastating.

Human-caused climate change -> record-high warm ocean water -> much, much faster hurricane intensification (as well as a greater proportion of stronger storms that dump more rain and move more slowly). For more, see: x.com/KHayhoe/status/1167851…

Lee put on a rare feat of rapid intensification overnight, one exceeded by only 2 Atlantic hurricanes before. Our Friday tropical update: yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

Extreme heat is by far the deadliest climate disaster, but FEMA won't fund relief or hazard mitigation because it's humans that are harmed, not infrastructure. How fucked up is that? Excellent piece by @dharnanoor

Need to prepare for flooding as much as you can!

Greece earlier today. A year’s worth of rain fell in just a few hours. This is what the #ClimateEmergency looks like, in real time.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.
This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

If these charts showed inflation or unemployment, any government would rush to act within weeks to try to fix it.
But we‘re lucky, it’s not about money: It‘s just showing how quickly we are boiling the planet we live on.
The only one we have by the way… 🤪

Earth had the hottest three-month period on record, with unprecedented sea surface temperatures and extreme weather.

Our first house out of grad school was a Money Pit so we did every cheap energy-saving trick we could. Plastic film on the (single-pane original) windows rolling out insulation in the attic caulking all the cracks in the walls made a HUGE difference! cnbc.com/2023/08/30/8-easy-a…

If you made $53,000 a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born you would still not make the profit Shell made in 2022.
It’s time for Shell to Stop Drilling and Start Paying for the climate damage they’ve caused.
