Sabotaging Oil and Gas Infrastructure Is an Act of Climate Heroism - System Change Not Climate Change
As corporations build fossil fuel infrastructure despite protests, we must take the tactic of sabotage seriously.Ted (System Change Not Climate Change)
Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won't recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon."

Itโs now part of the National Science Policy Network - a network of advocates for science, built by & for young scientists. They will carry the mission forward, pressing U.S. candidates to address #science #policy issues like #ClimateChange, #energy & public health before the 2024 election.
Iโm so excited to watch them shine!

Thanks to the cultural significance of cherry blossoms in Japan, we have data on the specific day of the year when a very particular species of cherry blossom (P. jamasakura) reached "full-flowering" (ๆบ้) in a specific area on the outskirts of Kyoto (Arashiyama), all the way back to 800 AD.
The trend of the past 50 years is hard to missโฆ
โA leak of a draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange (#IPCC) report..has been particularly enlightening when it comes to just how much how delegations negotiate, watered down & delete scientistsโ findings.โ

Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change
Much of the heat and carbon produced by humans is absorbed by the ocean. New research has shed light on the role that underwater waves play in moving that heat and carbon around our oceans, an important factor in predicting climate change.Paul McClure (New Atlas)
Hereโs 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.

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!

Food waste is responsible for 6% of global greenhouse gas emissions
Food losses and waste โ in supply chains and by consumers โ account for around one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions from food. Thatโs 6% of total global emissions.Our World in Data

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 Earthโs atmosphere warm its #climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

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!

We can address #climatechange. Many individuals, organizations & nations already are. Thereโs still time. Not much.
