Introducing ClimateVisualized, my latest #webmap to explore global #climate & #Koppen system on a 1° grid using monthly #temperature and #precipitation data. Try the "climate glyph" mode to see monthly patterns in a more creative way. #DataVisualization (large screen recommended)
A child born today will experience climate change as a constant force shaping their health, education and wellbeing. The impacts don’t happen in isolation -they create a trickle-down effect across their entire development:
Prenatal: Extreme heat & poor air quality increase risks of low birth weight and preterm delivery.
This leads to vulnerable infants with weaker immunity. Infancy: Babies struggle to regulate temperature, raising heat illness risk. Floods & unsafe water increase infections.Early infections weaken growth and development.
Childhood: Poor air quality contributes to long-term lung problems and repeated asthma attacks. Outdoor climate shifts spread vector diseases.Sick children miss school and struggle academically.
Adolescence: Climate disasters cause trauma, anxiety, and disrupt schooling, sports & recreation.
This affects life skills, confidence, and future opportunities.
Climate change is not a future scenario -it’s a developmental challenge shaping the next generation from womb to adulthood.
Protecting children means acting on climate today-through resilient health systems, clean air policies, and safe environments.

ICYMI: rise of CO2 emissions "relentless" with zero sign of urgently needed declines as absorption of CO2 by natural ecosystems is radically reduced by abrupt climate change
Your 'doom quote' for today:
"I have said for years that we are faced with a choice that can no longer be postponed or evaded. Evolve or perish. Adapt or die. That is the universe in which all species live. Those are the rules that govern all life."

EXTRAORDINARY: ~56-61% of both mammal and bird species suddenly have declining populations due to habitat & wildlife destruction, pollution, and abrupt climate change, as corporate media stay silent on VERY RAPID mass extinction caused by economic activities of the capitalist era
What if we could track the carbon story of our forests – from disturbance to recovery? 🌳

O mais legal? Os fósseis dos dois indivíduos foram encontrados num regurgito (vômito fossilizado) de dinossauro! 🤮🦖
This year at #COP30 I am co-chairing the Planetary Science Pavilion. We hope that the pavilion can be a platform to raise the voice of science.
I’d like to invite my scientist colleagues who will be in Belém and would like to get involved, to register: https://t.co/THTuNwWcJe

PF acaba de fazer uma MEGA OPERAÇÃO contra os CHEFES do (CV) na Bahia.
- 30 bandidos FORAM PRESOS, sem NEHUMA MORTE.

Parabéns, @Jeronimoba13! 🇧🇷✊
Governadores entregaram cartas dos biomas à @COP30.
O federalismo climático deixou de ser conceito para virar prática. E o CBC estruturou essa governança.
Meses de trabalho técnico traduzidos em ação institucional. Isso é o que funciona 🇧🇷
