Hi, it’s your friendly neighborhood climate scientist. Facing the #climatecrisis is tough! Here’s the essentials you need to know, tips for finding where you can contribute with purpose and meaning to the work needed, and evidence-based high-impact climate actions. A THREAD: 1/n

Gyms and restaurants are open and schools are closed? Where are your priorities? @NYCSchools @NYCMayor

[Elizabeth Applegate @ej_applegate]

Please don't close NYC public schools @NYCMayor . Transmission rates are low there. Limit gatherings in other ways.

I feel ill when I think about what the planet will be like when my children are adults. #wewantafuture #citizensassembly @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo

The NY City Council declared a climate emergency over a year ago.

@NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo:

Where’s the plan for emergency mobilization?

We want a future! Convene a Citizens’ Assembly!

Read Child of the Civil Rights Movement by Paula Y. Shelton, Illus. by R. Colon. Though we've been talking a lot about racism, this book helped my 4 yr old daughter put it together. Our conversations went to the next level - thank you @orchid6661 #litbankstreet #educ564session10

I am so happy to find This Beach is Loud! - perfectly captures the experience of sensory-sensitive kids. Thank you @mummysamart #LitBankStreet #EDUC564session10 https://t.co/LoaIoPvrMY
