#TBT: Can you believe 2014 was TEN years ago?!?
2014 was a year with particularly high ice cover on the #GreatLakes – the 2nd highest in our 51-year record, to be exact! https://t.co/Z41RrJgluA
In this MODIS image from 2/3/14, ice cover was 71.6%.

Climate change isn't a future threat; it's a present reality. That's the bad news. Here's the good news: we have the solutions and we know what to do. There's still time to rewrite our future if we act now. (image by @ed_hawkins)
🧵Since it is becoming hard to keep track, here is a list of countries/municipalities that have seen catastrophic flooding in the first 11 days of September 2023:
- Greece
- Turkey
- Libya <--- *thousands feared dead*
- Brazil
- Hong Kong
- Shanghai
- Spain
- Las Vegas
Recent trends from model guidance have brought #Lee back west enough so that it has put southeastern New England in the NHC track cone. It should be noted that track guidance can error by hundreds of miles for this time out 5-6 days. That said, Lee will likely be an expanding hurricane hundreds of miles wide, so even minus a landfall in the USA, which still appears a least likely scenario at the time of this tweet, rain and wind impacts could be felt well into New England especially with a more western track. Lee has gone from a wave maker to perhaps a bigger player into the weekend that may be worth at least some preparation at this point in the game. Bottom line: uncertainty to exact impacts for the northeast USA weekend remains.
"We build them..." 😂
What exactly was built here? A bike painted on the road does not an actual dedicated & protected bike lane make.
#Urbanism#PeopleCenteredInfrastructure
Allowing incremental, mixed-use buildings to be built in residential neighborhoods leads to small businesses and "third places" opening up for locals to gather in. This also encourages more walking and biking, meaning less traffic and parking problems.
Congratulations, #Calcite! We’ll see you in #MinCup23 Round 2.
That’s 2 years in a row that #Opal fought a tough battle in the opening rounds. You did beautifully, mineraloid. Now it’s time to rest.

@SenRickScott@JoeBiden@NOAA You know what hurts military readiness Senator? Your buddy @SenTuberville blocking Senate confirmation of flag officer appointments.
Maybe instead of railing at @POTUS for assisting the American people, you can encourage @TTuberville to stop blocking the confirmations.
If you've ever used Zipcar/had a plan with them, what was your experience like? Did you find it to be worth it? I'm living car free in Baltimore which is mostly doable but exploring the possibility of a Zipcar membership.
