"But a wave that strikes a seawall never breaks and dissipates, as it would on a beach; instead, it bounces off like an echo, its destructive force intact." @NewYorker's @ByDanielAGross on the hubris of #seawalls in the fight against #climatechange buff.ly/47hlIFM

From stories about using wind to power cargo ships to about reducing food waste, this week of stories from NPR & member stations on climate solutions gives me hope. Huge thanks to the visionaries, editors and reporters @NPR who made this week possible! npr.org/series/1199537689/cl…

Thanks, @KHayhoe, for summing up the @Pontifex's new encyclical on the #climatecrisis. Check out her 🧵. @ReligionEnviro

Happy to be included in @jruwitch 's @NPR story on sponge cities. The scale at which we've interfered with the water cycle is astounding. Up to 87% of wetlands drained, urban pavement doubled just since 1992. Sponge cities works, if at comparable scale. npr.org/2023/10/03/120225210…

The @NEAQ was able to tag a record 14 turtles this summer with the help of additional funding.

Last week, NYC hosted Climate week. Today, it’s underwater. Every day, it's becoming more obvious: Climate change isn't a far-off threat - it's impacting us right here, right now. #NYCFlood

This conversation with @torystephens of @grist & one of my fave librarians, @CoreyFarrenkopf, is delightful and necessary: how to wildly imagine a better future into existence through storytelling. #climatecrisis, @BlueLibrarians #clifi
