"One study found that on very hot days, greener areas of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. can be more than 15 degrees cooler than areas of those same cities with fewer trees." @CC_Yale @AmericanForests yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

Think cities can't breathe? Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield. Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles @UNHABITAT

Fantastic new online HQ for conservation resources, data, and information. Including the long-awaited beta version of the American Conservation and Stewardship Atlas! Huge step forward by @POTUS @WHCEQ @Interior @USDA @NOAA to advance ambitious, locally-led conservation.
Since I took office, my Administration has protected 41 million acres of America's natural wonders. Head to Conservation.gov to get the latest information, tools, resources, and opportunities to support land and water conservation projects in your neighborhood.

Hey @Tesla @elonmusk - now that you've opened the Supercharger network (which loyal Tesla customers helped pay for) to other brands, they're sending their customers free CCS->NACS adapters. But you're selling NACS->CCS for $250. What's your plan to send us free adapters?
18 Mar 2024
Fast charger access just doubled. Rivian vehicles can now tap into 15,000 Tesla Superchargers — rapidly expanding the fast charging experience for our customers. Initially, a NACS DC adapter is needed for access, shipping free to owners starting this spring. rivn.co/Supercharger

Right now, the world needs trees... millions of new trees. With our global challenges mounting, we have no time to lose. That’s why we’re determined to plant 500 million trees by 2027. It’s an ambitious goal, but we know we can make it happen if we all work together 💪

This historic investment is boosting farmer's and rancher's access to voluntary conservation practices that help them contribute to solving the climate crisis. We're excited to see the impact of this investment continue over the coming years. 👏 nrcs.usda.gov/news/biden-har…

Trees provide benefits to the world, from food to shelter to oxygen, but researchers have now found their dramatic rebound in the eastern US has delivered a further, stunning feat – the curtailing of the soaring temperatures caused by the climate crisis. theguardian.com/environment/…

We need nature for climate action, and climate action for nature! Tune in to hear @TWCrowther, co-chair of the Board for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, sharing insights at COP28 during the Nature Talks. #NaturePositive @CrowtherLab

A new study used Twitter to track US climate denial. Authors identified a "coordinated social media network uses periodic events, like cold weather or climate conferences, to sow disbelief and Trump was the strongest influencer in this network." nature.com/articles/s41598-0….

Old growth forests are 🔥 in new ways due to climate change. Like in 2020 & 21 when three wildfires killed 19% of giant sequoia across Sequoia & King Canyon National Parks. That's why @POTUS 💪new #OldGrowth policy includes flexibility to fight ALL the threats to giant 🌲. @SecVilsack @USDA @ForestService @SecDebHaaland @Interior @AmericanForests

1.5°C means no new fossil fuel projects. None. Anywhere in the world. Countries investing in new projects while they're here at #COP28 talking about meeting our climate targets is absurd!

It’s hard to get 78 people to agree on anything. But 78 Alaskan Tribes have jointly asked @BLMNational to maintain protections for lands that are vital for wildlife, fight climate change, and maintain a way of life. Here’s why. 👇pew.org/3R9QVWa
