@ByDanielAGross @NewYorker So excited to read this, Daniel. Am I the only one having trouble opening it? Tried on Chrome and Safari. ??

"But a wave that strikes a seawall never breaks and dissipates, as it would on a beach; instead, it bounces off like an echo, its destructive force intact." @NewYorker's @ByDanielAGross on the hubris of #seawalls in the fight against #climatechange https://t.co/KSvxg7Xi2z

Local love to these excellent books by @ElizabethaRush @JeffSharlet & @TamarHaspel prominently featured at Sturgis library, where we also just scored a first edition Silent Spring by Rachel Carson at their book sale. If only @sprothero would let me open it. ;)

From stories about using wind to power cargo ships to about reducing food waste, this week of stories from NPR & member stations on climate solutions gives me hope. Huge thanks to the visionaries, editors and reporters @NPR who made this week possible! https://t.co/2MoOu1MBxh

Thanks, @KHayhoe, for summing up the @Pontifex's new encyclical on the #climatecrisis. Check out her 🧵. @ReligionEnviro

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Today, @pontifex released Laudato Deum, an update on the 2015 encyclical. It's not so much a breath of fresh air as it is a bucket of ice water, straight to the face of those who are standing in the way of and delaying climate progress. Here are a few highlights:

[Erica Gies / SlowWater.World @egies]

Happy to be included in @jruwitch 's @NPR story on sponge cities. The scale at which we've interfered with the water cycle is astounding. Up to 87% of wetlands drained, urban pavement doubled just since 1992. Sponge cities works, if at comparable scale. https://t.co/Uc6XTJ9adh

[CAI @WCAI_NPR]

You can now track some of the sea turtles that have been released on #CapeCod beaches.

The @NEAQ was able to tag a record 14 turtles this summer with the help of additional funding.

Last week, NYC hosted Climate week. Today, it’s underwater. Every day, it's becoming more obvious: Climate change isn't a far-off threat - it's impacting us right here, right now. #NYCFlood

[Xiye Bastida @xiyebastida]

NYC 3 months apart. The climate crisis will manifest in hundreds of ways and we need to be ready

[Meera Subramanian @Meeratweets]

This conversation with @torystephens of @grist & one of my fave librarians, @CoreyFarrenkopf, is delightful and necessary: how to wildly imagine a better future into existence through storytelling. #climatecrisis, @BlueLibrarians #clifi

[Corey Farrenkopf @CoreyFarrenkopf]

Hey hey! Tomorrow night I will be hosting @torystephens over ZOOM for the @BlueLibrarians Climate Prep Week central event!!! He’ll be talking all about reading/writing Cli-Fi and the role it plays in imagining a brighter future. DM for Zoom Link! 6:30 PM EST.
