Do you live in NYC?
Do you care about climate change?
Focus on the Bayway Refinery.

Bayway is responsible for the climate emissions of 3.2 million households. It's right across the river from Staten Island.

🟠Solidarity demo for Just Stop Oil and open letter

Today in Helsinki by the 🇬🇧embassy!

🟠Read and sign our open letter - we demand release of JSO prisoners (who got 3yrs and 2yrs 7mths in prison) and express the concern for the new police laws in the UK which severely damage civil liberties.

🟠Please support the peaceful climate protestors, and uphold the right to protest.

Recent, rapid ocean warming ahead of El Niño alarms scientists, concerned that it will add to global warming.

This month, the global sea surface hit a new record high temperature. It has never warmed this much, this quickly

Scientists don't fully understand why this has happened

But they worry that, combined with other weather events, the world's temperature could reach a concerning new level by the end of next year

Pacific trade deal ‘will make mockery of UK’s climate ambitions’

Palm oil produced in Malaysia is of particular concern as tariffs on the product, currently at 12%, will be eliminated.

“Any hope of arresting global heating at 1.5 or 2°C demands a technical revolution on the scale of the post-war Marshall Plan…

“Retrofit housing stock, shift from mass ownership of combustion-engine cars to expanded zero-carbon public transport, electrify industries, build new homes to Passivhaus standard, roll-out a zero-carbon energy supply and, crucially, phase out fossil fuel production.”

You may have heard that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the #IPCC - released a new #climate report.

Here’s the most important take home:

There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.

Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

Three Insulate Britain activists are serving jail terms for contempt of court for breaching rulings made by a judge that they were not to mention the climate crisis, fuel poverty or the history of the peaceful civil rights movement to juries.

The three – David Nixon, Amy Pritchard and Giovanna Lewis – were jailed after addressing the juries at separate trials to explain their motivation for taking direct action. #climate #protest #activism


We're super excited for the #ClimateOfChange #Mastodon PREMIERE, Tues Feb 28 at 7pm, featuring #yyc author of #ThePatch, #ClimateOptimist and more #ChrisTurner!

Fave this post or better yet BOOST it and we'll update it during show time so YOU GET THE NOTIFICATION.

We'll also be keeping an eye on comments/questions of this post to ask Turner on the show! See you tomorrow night!

Trees improve our air & water. They reduce flooding & erosion, help address #climate change, conserve energy & create habitats for plants & animals. We’re fortunate to walk among them. #SharedPlanet


You said, “In 1856, scientist Eunice Foote published a paper demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate. “ This is very interesting! Can you cite the reference please? I would like to send copies if it to my friends who say there is no evidence that increasing CO2 heats the planet. Thanks! #climate #solarpower #distributedenergy #sustainableag #permaculturegarden


Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

Some of us divergent types can't help but think systemically. I have presented to several groups of engineers about building innovative teams. I recommend doing deep research in a very different field, like biology (as opposed to computer science for example), when searching for inspiration. I have several good examples and love the idea of transdisciplinary thought. You have my vote.

#science #climate


Rather than teach #science by compartmentalizing biology, chemistry, physics, etc., we should focus on systems thinking.

The world is interconnected - oceans, food, #climate, energy, health, security, biodiversity & on.

When more of us, all around the world, consider how the pieces fit together & influence each other, we’ll be better equipped to meet global challenges.

Climate change, according to my classes, instigates extreme weather swings, such as freezing winters and scalding summers.

Climate change is real, and "winter is still cold" is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR *YOUR* GODDAMN IGNORANCE

CLIMATE. CHANGE. IS. REAL.

GET THAT IN PEOPLES' HEADS!

Presenting the Champlain Ice Scarf: #climate #knitting. The white rows are years when Lake Champlain (#vermont) froze over. The blue rows are years when it did not. Data are from 1800 through 2021. Guess which end is 1820.


The burning question about #fungi: what happens to them in extreme heat? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/09/fungi-extreme-heat-aoe

#Scientists in #Italy are testing the impact of #fire and #drought to learn how the changing #climate affects #underground fungal networks.


Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.

Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.

A new Serving Up Science is all about cultivated meat: https://youtu.be/GaX38aFAGSo
