The #climatedivide I reported on in 2007 for the @nytimes with @SominiSengupta @SharonLNYT @sarahlyall & Mydans was between rich and poor countries: j.mp/climatedivide .. Now it’s piercingly clear this divide exists even block by block *within* countries. Great story here.

Sure doesn’t look like a #ClimateEmergency for those with $$$. The global #climatedivide we wrote about in 2007 (j.mp/climatedivide) also exists within nations, even along the same streets….> Bloomberg: “The moves, often born out of a desire for lower taxes, warmer weather and cheaper mansions, have pushed the industry’s footprint into parts of the US that previously didn’t have much of a finance presence beyond regional banks.” (Times story by @revkin @SharonLNYT @sarahlyall @SominiSengupta & Seth Mydans)

When should journalists hit the road, or skies, covering #climatechange and risk? I think @BBCJustinR’s Spain #heatwave trip was pretty indulgent and his best work is anchoring things, as here. When we did our 2007 @nytimes #climatedivide report, e.g., I anchored with field reporting by correspondents in four regions: J.mp/climatedivide But Spain is pretty close to UK and the Daily Mail “gotcha” is silly.

The glaring meteorological/climate data gaps in Africa are a scandal given decades of efforts to push developed countries to invest for African resilience. @mickeyglantz in 2007 called for wealthy countries to help establish a center for climate and water monitoring in Africa, run by Africans. But for now, he says he is doubtful that much will be done. “The third world has been on its own,” he said, “and I think it pretty much will remain on its own.” @See our 2007 nytimes #climatedivide package: nytimes.com/2007/04/01/scien…

Yes to this on #vaccineequity, energy equity and the #climatedivide (my 2007 @nytimes coverage: j.mp/climatedivide)! Was happy to see @fibke continue to pound the #vaccinationgap. revkin.bulletin.com/vivid-vi…

Claudia Peralta Torres, our Podcast’s editor, spoke with WAMU’s @TamikaNews about The Climate Divide Podcast, the heat island effect and who is most affected by it. Check it out! #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice #ClimateDivide #EnviroJustice #HeatIslands #DC

Excellent summary of latest research by @AlexFWagner, @LeippoldMarkus & team on the #ClimateDivide between US and Europe by @Bloomberg @GernotWagner. For more research on the #RussiaUkraineWar: bf.uzh.ch/de/media-news/ukra… #ClimateTransitionRisk #ClimatePolicyRisk #EnergyTransition

Excellent thread (a particularly good nugget here) on how the #climatedivide we wrote about in the @nytimes in '07 (j.mp/climatedivide) exists within stratified countries, not just *between* rich and poor ones.

Still time to catch @SominiSengupta today on the #climatedivide she's reported wonderfully of late, and since 2007 j.mp/climatedivide

På #COP26 nu: Salomonøerne & USA taler samtidig, i forskellige rum. S.Ø., som er ved at synke i havet, efterspørger mere forpligtende tekst om💰til tab&skader. 🇺🇸lancerer statement m.🇨🇳hvor tab &skader ikke nævnes en eneste gang. #climatedivide #PayUp4LossandDamage @globaltfokus

The #climatedivide exists within individual communities, between rich/poor communities and rich/poor countries. The metric that matters is vulnerability. More here in a wide-scale look at why generic "climate crisis" proclamations obscure inequity: revkin.bulletin.com/55817439…

The global A/C boom, now amplified by #globalheating, is a natural outgrowth of human desires for optimal conditions, when affordable. Singapore's @GardensbytheBay & Nairobi's #Mathare settlement are both 85 miles from the Equator. #ClimateDivide More: revkin.bulletin.com/55817439…

Climate risk is fractal: 1. global-scale vulnerability divide via @mattyglesias back in @voxdotcom days: vox.com/2014/6/3/5772314/the… 2. #climatedivide *within* a vulnerable country - India. 3. Within a city, via @bradplumer & @PopovichN @nytclimate: nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

Powerful reporting on the #climatedivide from agriculture's hot zone and the workers endangered there.

Amazing to contrast this with the "heat tourism" reported by @KyleTWN in Lytton, BC, Canada yesterday. The #climatedivide (@nytimes '07 j.mp/climatedivide) on steroids. x.com/Revkin/status/14098442… #BCHeat #PNWheatwave #climatechange

Another glaring aspect, in UK, US and many other places, is the #climatedivide, through which the well to do are resilient and poor and minority communities deeply vulnerable (@DianaLiv & @lmbouwer discussed today): j.mp/povertyclimaterisk

The #climatedivide: "If you're poor & they privatize your water, ..if you're indigenous & they take your land, you're more vulnerable. With the heat wave (AZ), it's the poor who can't afford AC or are working in 115 degrees." @DianaLiv: j.mp/povertyclimaterisk @columbiaclimate

You also wrote powerfully about the #climatedivide in 2007. J.mp/climatedivide :)

Thinking about @BillClinton' approach to #climatechange got me looking back at my 2008 sit-down with him. This section on his approach to the #climatedivide (rich/poor) is as apt as ever: j.mp/clintonclimatedivide
