@RobIMcDonald check this paper when you get a chance

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

Till date UHI has been primarily focused on local heating impacts. This study by my colleague @TC_Chakraborty shows impact of urbanization on regional heating patterns. It demostrates that 'decarbonisation' and staying below 1.5C needs to consider 'urbanization' as a metric.

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

We need to have a conversatation around #heat #mitigation and #adaptation instead of changing the voting season and voting choices !!

[World Weather Attribution @WWAttribution]

Over the 12-month period, 6.3 billion people (about 78% of the global population) experienced at least 31 days of extreme heat. This was made at least 2x more likely due to human-caused #ClimateChange

Great to see @POTUS administration backing IC-VCM to build #highintegrity #carbonprojects to meet our #climatecommitments through #NCS and market based approach https://t.co/zyqlzE6gsq

Great news today! 20 M CO2 removals by @Google @Microsoft @Meta @salesforce !!!

[Diego Saez Gil @dsaezgil]

This is HUGE: @Google, @Microsoft, @Meta and @Salesforce (biggest players in AI) announce today the Symbiosis Coalition, with a commitment to contract 20M tons of high-quality nature-based carbon removal credits by 2030 (which should surpass a $1B!). More companies are expected to join next.

I'm proud that @PachamaInc made a small contribution by sparking conversations and providing technical input and expertise to support the commitment to quality by the coalition.

This is amazing news for the planet and hopefully just the beginning of something much larger. 🌎

Huge props to @KateEBrandt , @SuzanneDiBianca , @MelNakagawa, @BlairSwedeen , @Julia_io_Strong and the entire ecosystem that made this happen. Now, time to get ready to grow!! 🌳

Whole of Asia is reeling under a heat wave, threatening lives & livelihoods. Both #climate adaptation & mitigation are urgently needed, especially to protect the most vulnerable in each country. @MoHFW_INDIA @moefcc @NITIAayog @UNFCCC @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

Great summary of our paper by BBC "By planting trees strategically in the areas where they are most needed, an additional 460 heat-related deaths and 81,000 heat-related illnesses could be averted, and another 4.3 terawatt hours of electricity could be saved each year"

Our latest paper shows that 30,000 more lives are impacted across POC neighborhoods than white neighborhoods. Market mechanism will be key to meet the need of planting 1.2 billion additional trees and ensure permanence #cobenefits #people #beyond #carbon #co2e

Hey colleagues, our climate change adaptation and NBS paper is out! @nature_brains @KHayhoe @Nature_Climate @nature_wonks

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

@DouglasInsider @shayonislynn @lynn_global So proud of you Tithi 🥰🤗

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

@dmarvs @SaloSciences @planet Congrats @dmarvs for this !!!

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

@SabrinaSzeto @JuliaWagemann Great news!

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

It will be great to see this replicated in all parking lots around shopping malls in the US !

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

This is great. FYI, in France where I live, by law ALL parking lots above a certain size have to cover them with solar PV. Would be great to see CA do this as well.

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

Not surprising either ! when trying to model atmospheric patterns outside our direct human control !

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

In a way, this isn't surprising. We are conducting a novel, unreplicated experiment with the atmosphere, so of course there will be surprises!

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

@MarlyCSilverman @US_Stormwatch Can u pls share the link to this article. This analysis seems really interesting

[Yale Environment 360 @YaleE360]

"We thought these lakes were going to be sinks of carbon, at least during the summer," says an Arctic researcher. “But what we saw this year was just unprecedented.”

Arctic lakes that once locked up carbon could be turning into sources of emissions.

Looking forward to this week in NY at #ClimateWeekNYC. Let get to work!!

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

#ClimateWeekNYC is underway – the event that brings together global leaders in climate action from business, government & the climate community, in conjunction with #UNGA & the City of NY.

This week is about turning commitments into action. Let’s get to work!

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

I am so excited to be at #NewYorkClimateWeek #NYCW23 to share about our #CarbonMapper and #indigenous led #ncs projects across #EmeraldEdge at our session 'From Communities to Partnership'. Hope to see some of you there! See the registration link below

[Dr. Tanushree Biswas @BisTanus]

(finally figured out why my tweets weren't going out!) The best part of my job is integrating #datascience, #carbonremoval through #improvedforestmangement on ground to show the scope of growing #forestcarbon across Coastal Temperate Rainforest after a clearcut. #climatesolutions
