So we got to the part where the early movers already got their #EVs, and now is the turn of the general public. But the general public still don't fully understand EVs and have concerns about #charginginfrastructure.

@BettySLai@OpenAcademics@PhD_Genie I usually make a dad joke and ask how their week is going. We've been doing weekend highlights. It's a good way to start with high spirits
Today I was the graduate speaker at the
@AmericanU graduation. What an amazing way of closing my time as a #PhD student. I'm so proud of my fellow Eagles who made it through the finish line!
Congratulations to SPA’s Barbara Dos Santos and Ngakiya Camara, today’s graduate and undergraduate commencement speakers. We hope their words of hope and optimism light a path for their fellow grads as they go out into the world. #SPAProud#2021AUgrad
40,000 people are still without power since hurricane Ida. Building climate-resilient infrastructure cannot be overlooked in our efforts to mitigate climate change.

If the Brazilian government knew (or cared) how vulnerable to climate change our coast, our economy, our energy, and our people are they'd be crying right now. It's already too late, we cannot stop this ship so easily
After California updated its building code without banning natural gas in new buildings, clean energy advocates wonder if another state—such as New York—may become the first state to implement such a ban.

The maritime industry is under pressure to curb its #GHG emissions but decarbonizing the global fleet of 100,000 ships will be a mammoth task. How can it be done? #ZeroCarbonShipping https://t.co/7DPNTHBBAP
One tonne of Methane has the same warming potential of 84-87 tonnes of CO2 in the short term.
Around 60% of the methane currently in the atmosphere is anthropogenic.
It's time to focus on Methane emissions.

Something that's frustrating me this week is that in most cases, companies' climate risk transition plans are only goals, with no clear pathways. Am I missing something? Looking in the wrong places?

The biggest source of GHG emissions in a regular home is heating, switching to electric heating and renewable energy would dramatically decrease your home's emissions - this is true for any building actually
INFLECTION POINT: 2020 marks the 1st year in which electric heat pump sales eclipsed gas furnaces. Nearly 3.5M units. In the face of unprecedented heat waves, heat pumps will help us stay cool and safe while reducing GHGs. h/t @sierramartinez
