Human-induced climate change made European wildfires 20 times more likely

An even more impactful way to reduce whale deaths will be the phasing out of #fossilfuels. Currently, approx 40% of global maritime ships freight fossil fuels, including oil, gas (LNG), and coal. Fewer ships, fewer collisions with these magnificent animals.

@DoctorVive Thanks for highlighting this. As the Earth changes due to climate impacts, we're going to need new words to describe emerging extremes & shifts. Thoughtful language to describe climate may also inspire people to act toward mitigation and adaption efforts.

Japanese officials have coined an entirely new word to signify the dangerous heat of #ClimateChange.

It's "kokushobi," which means "cruel heat day."

This coinage is but a drop of the coming shower of cultural changes that climate change will force upon us.

@atrupar Let them eat grass. (4.5 million people have been kicked off food assistance in the United States)

@BlazesDogMom @scottlincicome Or perhaps whatever necessitate the transit? For example, I'm thinking of the people who have 2+ hour commutes to work as well as the people who will sit on the freeway for more than a hour to get to a beach and then spend 30 minutes searching for parking.

@scottlincicome Transit seems to be missing from this graph, unless I'm missing it?

@LaikenJordahl Thank you for your work to protect this important area for wildlife and future generations!

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

p.s. the idea that the increasingly widespread and damaging wildfires can be explained away by "fire suppression" practices etc. is an old denialist frame advanced by Trump and GOP: https://t.co/KA1Q6Kmyy4

@LauraMiers Thank you for highlighting this.

This is what #climatechange looks like:

@PhilSustainable really interesting & troubling! Out of curiosity, do you know what percentage of Brooklyn brownstones are owned by out-of-state residents?

@DoctorVive This also poses a huge threat to public health as clean water is a key factor for basic health and sanitation in any community.

@andreagail_k @patriottakes Not just losers, Cowards. Not a single one willing to show their faces.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Climate change is canceling July 4 celebrations.

Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, just called off its 250th birthday parade because it's too hot to march. Yesterday tied Philadelphia's all-time record of 103°F and with humidity, it feels like 118°F there right now, according to AccuWeather.

First, organizers shortened the route; then they moved up the start time before finally sending out the notice overnight. (Floats alone were allowed to drive down the street, and Historic District venues have stepped up and are hosting as many events indoors as they can.)

In DC, the Great American State Fair has closed until 5pm due to extreme heat.

Heat waves aren't new. But I'm a climate scientist, and I can tell you heat waves like this are virtually impossible without fossil fuel pollution.

Not only that, but when extreme weather hits, research shows that connecting it to climate change helps people understand why it matters.

And you know who the most trusted people to do that are? Not scientists. You! Yes, people we know are the most effective messengers to have these conversations.

So if you're worried about what's happening and how extreme heat puts us at risk -- talk about it!
