@Freedom_By_40 You got jan25 $10 calls, correct? What is your conservative wave 5 target for $HIVE?

[Kees Lokman @keeslokman]

We are looking for someone with innovative research and pedagogical agendas in areas such as climate change adaptation, traditional ecological knowledge, planetary health and biodiversity, and field studies. Please share with your networks, or DM for more information.

New York's old rainfall record stood for 150 years until 2021, and has now been broken three times.
Hot air holds more water vapor than cold; flooding follows fossil fuel combustion as night follows day.

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

South America is living one of the extreme events the world has ever seen
Unbelievable temperatures up to 38.9C in the Chilean Andine areas in mid winter ! Much more than what Southern Europe just had in mid summer at the same elevation: This event is rewriting all climatic books

@IBCyberSec @AnthonyFarnell For reference, that’s 100% of the Netherlands. I know it’s a small country but just to put things in perspective.

[West Coast Environmental Law @WCELaw]

After costs ballooned to $31B in March, #TransMountain needed more money to continue construction, so the big banks chipped in another $3B, backed by a federal gov loan guarantee. Trans Mountain has now borrowed $13B from the banks and $17B from the public https://t.co/JFRYxJsKo6

We've just gone from "pictures of rivers in Northern Italy without water" to "pictures of rivers in Northern Italy with too much water" and yes, that sound you hear is climate deniers going "See? There is no climate change. Average precipitation levels are stable!"

[Patrick Nunnally @LandH2OPlaceUMN]

"Rising waters are swallowing entire neighborhoods..." https://t.co/mozTEvE9Cg Good coverage of water-related disasters across the country, without mentioning the possible connector: climate change. @1_Mississippi @agwaterdesk @americanrivers @KHayhoe @KateBrauman

This is absolutely disgusting. This is climate denial.

Bloody hell

National Highways planted 850,000 saplings as part of a £1.5bn upgrade of the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon, which was opened in 2020.

But 500,000 of them have now died.

@josealva @statmuse You certainly did not watch the 2011 season. Lakers had Kobe and Gasol, OKC had Durant and Westbrook, Celtics had Garnett, Allen, Pierce, Dallas had Nowitzki and Kidd, and Spurs had Duncan, Ginobili, Parker.

[ALL @AotearoaLib]

This is the flood report you won't see on the news.

We have to admit to the problem so we can change. Our farmers are stuck in the deeply flawed systems set up by settlers & our government is beholden to those who profit from them.

We need radical change.

I’m so pleased to share that The Climate Book is now available in the USA and Canada! I have gathered the wisdom of over one hundred contributors to highlight the many different crises we face and equip us with the knowledge we need to avoid a climate disaster. 1/2
