🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there.

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re using as an excuse. If they walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school.
Spread the word.

Breaking News!
Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.
The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.
Imagine tweeting this from a private jet in a cost of living crisis when you've literally just cancelled the high-speed train line to the city you've been in. What sort of monstrous lack of awareness is going on?

1. 🧵As atmospheric rivers dump massive amounts of water, it is important to understand humans live in a small niche, and the space outside that niche goes on and on. A little ripple in the greater scheme of things and we go extinct.

Memo to @RishiSunak - I'm not asking you to take lectures from me. I'm asking you to listen to experts, businesses & the public. They all want bolder climate action, yet you can't even bother to make it a top 5 priority. You're complicit in this #climatechaos.

An eight-year-old girl died and fifteen children and adults were injured yesterday when a large SUV crashed into an end-of-term primary school picnic. Some thoughts on this terrible and avoidable tragedy. (Thread)

A 10x increase in bike trips after installing the protected bike-lane.
1000% increase.
Never forget, when you’re being pressured to prove that safe bike-lanes are "needed," it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging river.
