What do IPCC reports have to do with the Book of Life? What do Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have to teach us about climate action?

When horses were replaced by cars there was a lot of resistance & scaremongering by the incumbent horse industry. Here's an old anti car advert by a horse carriage company.

History now repeats itself with countless scare stories about renewables, heat pumps & electric vehicles.

Amazing courtyards in Tel Aviv. Plenty of ways the building codes could use some improvement, but all those heatpumps😍

Guess the topic for the next episode of @climate_papa!

New episode out today--

[Ben Eidelson @ben8128]

Methane is responsible for .5°C of warming and yet we've spent shockingly little effort understanding it, or even communicating about it correctly.

@embrein and @sparkclimate to the rescue.

I launched Climate Papa one month ago.

Since then, our guide has been read by over 5,500 individuals from 74 countries 😯

An update below.

[Ben Eidelson @ben8128]

I’m interviewing a cattle rancher today about a new wave of practices intended to improve land health. This seeks to challenge the narrative that all cattle approaches are climate negative.

What questions do you have?

[Climate Papa @climate_papa]

Let's upgrade our grills!

We're beyond lucky in @CityofSeattle to have leaders like Jessyn working to decarbonize our city and region.

I believe Seattle may be the first major city to decarbonize in the US.

.@SeattleOSE thank you for everything you do!

[Climate Papa @climate_papa]

How are we going to decarbonize our cities?

A conversation with Jessyn Farrell, Seattle’s Director of the Office of Sustainability & Environment.

We hit on all things transportation, buildings, and orca whales.

[Climate Papa @climate_papa]

Loved this whole conversation with super climate mama, @noaacohn.

[Climate Papa @climate_papa]

We dove into the existential underpinnings of grappling with the impacts of climate change, having kids, and trying to stay present. The whole conversation reminded me of those special late night hallway chats in college.
