Arctic 12-month running temperatures as the difference from the 1951-80 average, updated through April 2024. The 10-year smoothed average shows the long term trend, the 2-year average captures some of the short term variability. OISSTv2.1 courtesy of NOAA/PSL/ESRL

I try to find and follow urban design, electrification, active transit experts who aren’t white dudes mostly on instagram, and I found one in Australia who I really liked until their litmus “test” for electric cars was “does a wine bottle fit in the front cup holders” 🙃🙃 Like of all the metrics to test this is the one you focus on… because you think it’s funny?

Global temperature record streak continues, as climate change makes heatwaves more extreme.
It was the warmest April on record – the eleventh month in a row of record global temperatures. Sea surface temperatures have been record high for the past 13 months. Extreme weather caused many casualties and socio-economic disruption. #ClimateChange
Fuck no. There should be well-paid career trajectories for this type of work and it should be incorporated into a Climate Corp structure . It’s highly skilled work, dangerous and there’s huge value in expertise retention. It’s great that university students feel drawn to this but 12 hr days for up to 14 days in a row is brutal, regardless of what Alpha Male chumps whine about #cdnpoli#canada#alberta#climatechange
#Heatwaves have long been known to impact children's learning. But the intensity & duration with which they strike now are leading to much greater cumulative impacts
#ClimateChange is directly causing educational gaps worth years across the world
For policy makers who care about GDP than #education, what happens to the economy when your workforce cant keep up?
This is as true in the west as in the #GlobalSouth
A sure sign that contemporary 30-year climate normals are not keeping up with the rate of Arctic change: only one year (2021) since the early 1990s has less than half of land area in the Arctic (north of 60ºN) had annual average temperature above “normal", and eight years more than 90 percent of Arctic Lands were warmer than “normal". In an unchanging climate, this would bounce around 50% each year. #Arctic#ClimateChange

"The paper places a much higher estimate on economic losses than previous research, calculating a #SocialCostOfCarbon to be $1,056 per ton. This compares to a range set out by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that estimates the cost to be around $190 per ton.
The cost of transitioning away from #FossilFuels and curbing the impacts of #ClimateChange, while not trivial, pale in comparison to the cost of climate change itself."
With extreme weather impacting all parts of the world, Climate Change isn’t going away anytime soon. These magazines keep us informed of the ongoing crisis, from the latest solutions like renewable energy to fighting misinformation, and beyond.
Climate Change: From stories about scaling up renewable energy to pioneering work in solar fuels to carbon capture and storage technologies, this magazine covers the burgeoning global shift to low-carbon economies. @climate
Climate Change and Weather Misinformation: As the United States constantly battles natural disasters — from hurricanes to fires, and more — authorities are also fighting misinformation that is affecting their ability to do their jobs. Here, we will share links to articles about the falsehoods. @climate
Climate Change and Wine: Documentating the effects of climate change on the wine world. @climate
Climate Change Science: Bloomberg Green reports on the latest research related to climate change, including extreme weather events, ice levels, impacts to ecosystems, ocean temperatures, and more. @climate
Environment and Climate Change: How can the world achieve inclusive economic growth while combating climate change and other natural resource challenges? @environment
I'm looking for British artists - ideally from marginal backgrounds, including BIPOC, disabled, working class, queer etc, who work on the environment and climate from an activist perspective. If can think of any names (or if that describes you!) please do let me know.
And boost for visibility please - thank you all kindly
Climate Change presents a range of dire environmental and health challenges. Add brain disease to the list. New research shows that as weather conditions worsen, certain brain diseases — stroke, migraines, meningitis, even Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s — follow suit.

There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
