Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

even as the risk of flesh-eating bacteria in warming waters is increasing alarmingly, the T***p administration is removing ocean monitors to gauge changes in currents & climate. (see the horrific article in this week's New Yorker, if you can bear to read it.)

One of the biggest challenges in climate action is imagining what a better future could actually look like: especially when solutions are so often framed as sacrifices that require loss, instead of opportunities to benefit from. This week's good news and what-to-do takes those on directly --

🏡 Good news: A new net-zero community in Ontario combines climate-friendly homes with walkable streets, hills and lakes, clean energy, and cold-climate heat pumps.

🚨 Not-so-good news: A new study from Houston found that climate disasters are making already dangerous prison conditions even worse, with extreme heat, flooding, and loss of basic necessities during storms.

🚶‍♀️What you can do: Try taking a “climate walk” through your own neighbourhood this week. What makes it livable? What could make it better? Climate solutions become much more tangible once we can actually imagine them around us! https://t.co/mkx6yYWutk

A tourist who drew widespread condemnation in Hawaii after a witness recorded him chucking a coconut-sized rock at “Lani,” a beloved, endangered Hawaiian monk seal off a Maui beach, was arrested Wednesday by federal agents.

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, 38, of Covington, Washington, is charged with harassing a protected animal, the U.S. attorney's office in Honolulu said, adding that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration special agents arrested him near Seattle.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

It’s #EndangeredSpeciesDay!

These important animals are a stunning example of biodiversity – and essential to the ecosystems they are part of.

As the protections they rely on face ongoing attacks from the U.S. government, let’s stand in their defense: https://t.co/mr5lnjFUth
