Rome, Italy.
People are in denial about climate change. There’s loads of comments online about drains and maintenance when in fact rainfall intensity is increasing across the planet as the atmosphere heats, exactly as scientists told us it would.
It’s going to get much worse.

@davidsirota @AJentleson @LeverNews Great reporting.

🚨NEWS: Corporate Dems’ new oligarch-funded think tank led by Fetterman’s former aide @AJentleson has been shilling for the AI industry — while its board member & megadonor’s financial fortunes have been invested in the AI buildout, according to documents reviewed by @LeverNews.

Or, if you can't make that, come say hi at one of the NYC Climate Week events below!

@algore @EarthEthicsCtr @KarennaGore Thank you for such a beautiful opening into NYC Climate Week.

A mixed @EndClimtSilence newsletter this time! I list where I'll be over NYC Climate Week but also meditate on MLK's confession: "Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony."

It's pretty impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC:

-- 229,000 pothole repairs (up 27% from last year)
-- speedbump installations up 25%
-- tree planting up 61% (55,000 total)
-- bus lanes installation more than doubled (5.5 miles to 12 miles)
-- residential curbside collection met its annual target for the first time in 21 years (with three months to spare)
-- affordable housing completions up 20%
-- financed 2,546 supportive housing units and 4,742 affordable homes for formerly homeless New Yorkers, the most in a fiscal year in NYC history
-- job placements through the city's human resources agency are up 33%
-- youth job placements through city admin up 26%
-- wait times for primary care appointments down 31% for adults and 24% for children
-- families receiving child welfare services up 16%
-- rec center membership up 13% (total membership highest in 15 years)
-- young adult attendance at rec centers up 50%
-- murder rate is down 20%
-- burglaries down 9%, robberies down 9%, auto thefts down 7%

All in fewer than nine months. Extraordinary.

Sorry but I just can’t get over how bonkers it is that we have two really good ways to generate and store your own electricity wherever you are (solar and wind), but we keep choosing to instead ship fuel across the world in elaborate, fragile supply lines

Perspectives on Politics, the journal of the American Political Science Assoc, staged a "Critical Dialogue" between Hanna Morris' Apocalyptic Authoritarianism and my recent book, The Language of Climate Politics.

The dialogue was, shall we say, spirited.

@russelllong yes. I misread this

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

@rahmstorf I think I may have misread this👇

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

@gordonschuecker Well, I think I might have misread this 👇 — it could mean 3C at 2100...

@oskaenergy14 No policy is still planning for 1.5

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

@gordonschuecker They state the heating number “implied” by an emissions pathway.

@BenjiBacker But isn’t climate change itself a culture-war issue for the Republican Party?

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

@KateAronoff I don’t have any articles, but I would be happy to chat with you about what I know anecdotally.
