[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

The world is no longer headed for the most catastrophic futures climate scenarios once warned about: but not because the science was wrong. It’s because people listened, and acted.

That is genuinely good news; but the new scenarios also tell us this:

📈 Not-so-good news - The new climate scenarios cover a narrower future, illustrating how human choices over the last 20 year have closed doors. While highest warming pathways are now less likely thanks to climate action over the last decade, our chances of staying below 1.5C without overshoot are now gone. And in a future where "every bit of warming matters" that means that some previously avoidable suffering will now occur.

🇺🇸 Good news - NPR’s Climate Solutions Week highlights local climate action across the U.S., from tribal wildfire resilience plans in Montana to geothermal heating in Denver and community solar in Portland. Climate solutions are still happening, all around us!

✈️ What you can do - If you’re travelling this summer, fly nonstop when possible, fly economy, take the train if you can, or simply slow down and stay longer in one place. Climate action isn’t only about technology. It’s about the choices we have every day - and share with others to make them contagious!

@MsChris1221 "It doesn't tolerate disagreement" sounds exactly like MAGA.

BREAKING: Paige Bueckers is signing a 3-year deal with Unrivaled (per @kendra__andrews). Bueckers’ Unrivaled deal, after one year, is expected to exceed her entire projected 4-year WNBA rookie salary.

“Bueckers' first-year salary for the 10-week Unrivaled season will exceed what she would make in all four years of her WNBA rookie contract” (ESPN).

@MsChris1221 Yep - it's cold!

@MsChris1221 Masks DO catch water droplets. Since the corona virus is transmitted via water droplets, the masks help. No one expects you to trust scientists blindly, but it is reasonable to make decisions based on legitimate scientific evidence.
